^I'm not to happy about the XP part of the text. The rest kinda fits IMO though. But.. I might as well play around with it :p

@skelly831 and MajinDark: Thanks! :D

@StarLion: You do know that you can't release that right?

I meant that the modded frame bothered me. And now the shadow on the icon bothers me :p I'll send you the original icon :)

Also, you should use the caption bars in your skin instead of the startpanel's userpanel. As you can see in the caption bars, the right side has a gloss on the darker blue bottom. The start panel doesn't have that because there's a "clean" places list.

Ok, finaly switched on both main pcs from your old black theme to this new one Cap, and i must say its great :)

but i do have one small thing i would like to bring up, the colour of a flashing window, say on an msn msg, the orange looks wrong to me, kind of sickly coloured, i feel it would look better as a brighter/stronger orange colour.

but then again im no artists so what do i know >.<

I've played around with that color and IMO that color fits the dark mood of the theme.

The logoff button has the same color but it look different because that's a solid image in the mockup. The flash button the hover button, which is transparent in the mockup, with a color overlay.

^Thanks! :D

Here's an updated mockup from the logon screen:

I've remade the Key and ? buttons from scratch, they're looking sharper now. I also added the logo in the logon and it looks freally awesome IMO. I also added a selection to the logon which probably won't be in the compiled version. I remember that it causes nasty errors.

Tomorrow I'll be starting the progress on Silver/Grey which will probably be named Grey. I wanted to make it an early release but I changed my mind about it. The only difference between Black and Grey will be the frames. So this version is going to take less time then the previous ones.

Try increasing the font size on "XP" by one increment and change it from capital letters to lower case, it should look a little bit better and match the actual Windows XP logo more closely. :)

^Did you seen the updated version? The updated version actually has XP in lower case letters. The only thin that I'm not happy with is the color. It needs to look a bit brighter IMO.

@peachey: I thought about that and yeah, I was going to try and make one :D

I'm also thinking about using the blue Windows flag for a screensaver based on the default XP screensaver.

I'm also thinking about using the blue Windows flag for a screensaver based on the default XP screensaver.

I can help you with that if you haven't already started.. just need a psd of the flag and maybe the font to be used.

If you're gonna do it then no probs, just thought I'd help :)

    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
