^I can't help that I'm bored of working on it. Doing new stuff is much more fun :p

Also, I might make a completely new theme for black.

At the rate you're going, you might as well release a Rose version, or maybe even a Pink version, complete with scented taskbar :p .

I'm NEVER going to make a pink version :p

There will be a black version of Blue SE which wont be a new theme. It also wont be the same as the previous black theme. I want to make a black version without all the orange elements.

Is the taskbar being skinned correctly now?

No, i patched it before using a replacement tool. The picture is what it looks like after..

Keep in mind the top application bar has the right blue color. along with the taskbar colors when an application is blinking.

so its like half working.

I really think you're having issues with the Uxtheme Patch.

You should make thread here: Customizing Windows XP. More people will see the problem and probably more people can help as well. I also want to keep this thread for Watercolor Emico :)

How about leaving the orange elements in and making an Orange version? :)

I was more thinking about a black version with blue controls. I've already tried an orange color in the mockup and it didn't look that good. The SE version is not going to be milked with a series of colors. It's either another version from black or no extra version at all :p

I do have an idea for an orange color scheme. I had it for sometime now and I wanted it to be a secret theme. IF I'm going to make it, it won't be the typical orange theme you're thinking of. It won't be the same as the other themes either since I want it to have a beige taskbar.

But, don't set your hopes up to high. Olive is the theme that I'm working on right now and that's a boring theme for me to work on. I never used an olive theme in the past and I won't use any in the future either. Only this one to test it out. Orange is a color that I also wouldn't want to be using as the main color in a theme. So, don't expect an orange theme yet.

Why not a bronze theme then :p ?

That's also to boring for me to be working on :p It actually has to be a color that I would want to use as well. Such as a black version from Blue SE.

zomg I'm dying to know what SE looks like now. XD

I feel the same way about Olive. It's a nice color to look at occasionally, or if you have some random accessory (real life accessory I mean), but I don't think I would want to be constantly looking at the color. I think MS did well with their Olive Luna though, since they included a lot of beige elements to tone it down a bit.

Keep up the good work! :heart:

My olive theme will have the same color scheme as Olive Luna. So a red-ish color for button, sliders and checkbox hovers. It'll also have the same beige color as Blue.

Blue SE mockups are almost done. I still have to go through a few tings before I start compiling it. Remember though, Blue SE is just a working titel. The released version will have a different name.

I only suggested it as your theme colours remind me of the amount of colours the PSP Lite are offered :p . They've just released a Ruby Red and Matte Bronze hence my suggestion to you.

Not that I'm asking you to take up my suggestion :laugh: .

^It's going to be released next week. I wanted to work on it today but I decided to take a break this weekend :p

@Scirwode: Thank god :p I think that Olive will be the last color besides Blue SE.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
