Still the same.. I'm going to work that out this weekend. Like I said, school started again so I've only got time to work on WE in the weekends.

Also, are there people willing to make a Winamp skin for WE?

After not using Watercolor Emico for a few weeks and not working on it, I found out that the frames are to sharp. The lines that make the frames sharper where way to noticeable IMO. I've fixed this in Blue SE and trust me.. it looks way better then the current version. It's probably not that noticeable for people that don't use it that much since the release :p

The shellstyles are also being worked on. I'm doing the design part and dis (a member here on Neowin) is doing the code part. You guys should all thank him once the shellstyles are released because he's doing an amazing job! :D

Here's a teaser of the taskbar with the new colors etc:

This might be the only teaser that I'm going to show :p

It would also be nice if I can get a few opinions about it :)

The changes on the frames might look minor but if you use WE a lot you'd notice the difference. Also, all the controls had an overhaul so those things all look different then the current Blue version.

Thanks guys! :D The taskbar is going to look awesome while being unlocked as well. I might even want to use WE: Blue SE with a unlocked taskbar instead of locked. Also, imagine this theme to have white scrollbars and tabs that look like the original Watercolor theme :)

Hiya !!

Is there any chance that this theme can/ may include a user picture on the top of the start menu?

I've just found these Watercolor (https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=32604&st=840&start=840) and Watercolor Emico themes, and I really like them. It would be great if there is a variation which allows user pictures to be displayed ;) . Can it be an option to the colors (similar to how the themes allow for the *start button text* to be displayed and not)?

Is this possible to do?

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it :) !!

Why I get this error when I try to change from Microsoft's theme to an unsigned theme? I already installed the dll. That's kinda obvious. So, anyway, what I'm doing wrong?

Make sure you used the right DLL files, there's different ones for SP2 and SP3. If you have patched the uxtheme correctly, and can use other themes, I'd try redownloading watercolor emico then try reapplying them (and remember the msstyles go in C:\windows\resource\themes folder)

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
