....it must have been while you were kissing me... :laugh:

Now.. on with more of my sloppy work!! :rolleyes:

keep doing what you do best! :p

but in all seriousness, the theme looks great aside from a few things that i just can't understand why you put them in. The extra graphic in the top left of the start menu.. it just doesn't fit with the theme at all i don't think. And seriously, those caption buttons are just bad man..lol they don't fit with this theme at all... i think something more "similar" to vista style buttons.. but with your own twist would be really nice and fit alot better. But overall i think it's a pretty sweet theme.. love the start button, and even the start menu is very nice.. and the taskbar buttons and colors are a nice touch... just my opinion.

Newsflash... a lotta folks like extra graphics and just plain bad buttons.. like.. a bunch.. just read the majority of the comments anywhere its posted. :D

.. Its just nuts eh?

Anyway your entitled to whatever it is that you think , I appreciate it as usual ;)

Thx for the kind words Joe'ster :)

I see you're still taking constructive criticism well...lol Just because people post comments that make you think you're a genius, don't believe the hype man.. those people are usually the people who are just pleased to get something for free because they can't do it any better themselves.. but i know different. I compliment your theme and you still have this holier than thou attitude like what you do can't get any better.. i am entitled to think whatever i want, and judging by what people outside of your site and wincustomize say, i'm not alone.

I'm not telling you that my opinion is right... i'm not forcing you to change anything, i just offered some criticism on how I think the theme could be improved. But hey.. you're the graphic wizard, so just keep on keepin on sista.

What people outside of wincustomize? you and a couple of people that ALWAYS have something negative to say here ?

Who else? please.. enlighten me.. go check my DA too.. Daily Deviation over there..( # 7 :whistle: ) I suppose their all idiots too?

Even tho I don't bother personally posting my work here anymore I know it will get posted anyway and I know good old joe will be along to say.. something nice along with something negative... I'm used to it.

I take critique just fine, If I didn't I would have been out of this game a long time ago. :rolleyes:

Anyway.. u dont like the buttons..I got it, I'll live. :D

Yes, one other person after 32,000 downloads mentioned it.

I dont post here anymore for exactly this reason.. someone stands up for themeselves and their labeled...and cursed at.. and trolled and flamed.

Won't ever change... go ahead.. flame some more :) Do you think I care what the 10 people that come into this section and troll me really think of me or my work...please.

What are ya so angry about? :blink: Perhaps you should get more obviously perturbed and use more expletives next time... :wacko:

Anyway.. done with this crap... got a new Master skin to finish.

Your gonna LOOOOVE the buttons :laugh:

Dude i dont need to "try" to make you look bad.. you do enough of that on your website. And there you go again mentioning how many people downloaded it like that means anything.. do you know how many people download Norton Antivirus in the run of a year.. does that make it great software. No, it's bulky crap.. alot of similarities i might add.

And btw.. you're not standing up for yourself, you don't listen to anyone whether it's here or elsewhere, because you think you're so damn perfect.. and that's why you're cursed and flamed.

Dude i'm not angry with you.. i could care less about you and your ****.. but you started attacking me when i said NOTHING but a few suggestions about your theme, nothing negative, nothing personal.. i said i liked the theme and offered some suggestions, but you felt the need to make it personal.

So go finish your Master skin.. so people can regret another purchase and i can pirate it and make it look decent.

Looks good but I prefer minimalistic themes. This one seems too chunky like almost all the other WB themes.

apparently you're opinion doesn't matter.. the words "chunky/bulky/criticism/epicfail" do not register with Mr. God Almighty. Only the opinions of wincustomize and devianart matter.. and if and ONLY IF they include the words "perfect/amazing/godlike/incredible" does he understand.

I personally love the skin, using it currently. I have tried others but they only stay on for a day at most, this one is a keeper. I also like the changes NienorGT made too, I see you gave permission for him to release the startmenu, is there any way this can be included as a substyle? No biggie if not :)

This is a tough skin to critique. The Menus, Taskbar and window borders are the best I've seen, but the max/min/close buttons are definitely the weakest part of the skin. They just don't seem to follow the "glass" motif.

Those of you calling this skin bulky have obviously never installed it (this thing is lean). The thing is, this skin is probably very, very close to the ideal style of skin people here on Neowin like, but it just has a few elements to change.

that is the exact same thing i said... i don't think this theme is bulky at all compared to other WB themes, however the buttons ARE weak... but you're only the 3rd or 4th person to say that so unless we get like 25,000 others you can bet it will never change...lol

Oh, I forgot about that, I was too busy with other things. ^^;

I "think" it's possible to add a substyle just by adding files in the skin's folder, if so it's the way I will go since it's better than replacing files.

Here it come, read the Readme for info.

I didn't test it on another PC, but in Theory, I don't see how it can fail.

I don't know if it would work on XP, I don't have XP to test it.

vStyler, if for some reasons you don't like something, PM me.

It is possible to add a substyle but I'd rather you didnt do it that way.
As you wish sir, I was kinda loss trying to figure how to do it lol (Never worked with Substyles)

This skin is very good. I've been using it since its release. Some niggle over the buttons but are all buttons supposed to look the same? These look unique. If the skin isn't what you want, nothing stops you from using Skinstudio and making the appropriate adjustments for yourself. If you can't do it or don't know how, then find another skin to use.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
