The modded version AFAIK is done by Dazzla, and Tim/Binary said they will not make a version like this ....

Radish.

Yep, but a lot of pple modded it just like that. Where did they get the bitmap?:ninja:a:

Just ask Dazzla via P:):) ....

Radish.

This is a very nice theme. :D I like it very much. :) One question... will you ever skin the taskbar similar to the window bars? Like, the box/tile pattern by the clock.

Keep up the good work! :D

nope, he has stated before he won't be doing that. it's easy to do yourself, if you have the bitmaps. :)

Is it possible to put the Watercolor squares in the shellstyle? & make the color like the titlebar:):) ....

Radish.

No. I don't want this theme to look tacky, and adding mozaic's all over the place would do just that:unsure:e: Thats why I still to this day wont add the mozaic to the startpanel or taskbar. Watercolor is meant to be a classic type theme where your eyes arnt bothered by out of the place graphics/eye candy. I think if I started 'spicing it up' it would start to lose it's professionalism.

Sorry but thats just how I see it. You guys can always edit the theme to your likings.

Oh, and the color is the same as the right hand side of the titlebar, I tried the light blue, but it was way too distracting.

Chris

Excellent use of WinRAR SFX for the installer :)

I am impressed with just that :p

Nice theme, however could you please add rounded corners to the "All Programs" option in the start menu? :)

Sorry, that's not possible, it's just a selection.

Chris

In light of recent WB adaptions, I have also updated watercolor to look 'better' in apps like photoshop. Here's a screenie of the next revision:

Now before you guy's start bitching ;)... NO there wont be any mozaic's added to these small tool window frame captions. Why? Because they just get squished anyways, and PS is what most people use, and a mozaic could distract from their current task at hand. So they will be nice and clean looking now, and hopefully less distracting/buggy.

Also the next revision will sport new shellstyles (as seen above) and a black colour scheme.

The summer/fall colour packs will be released later on. I'm just trying to squash the last few remaining bugs/annoyances before I jump into colour packs :) They will be much easier to maintain if there are no bugs to comb through in each substyle.

*edit* oh and I have semi-fixed the taskbar scrollbar issue, though it wasnt really necessary to fix.

Chris

I am also interested in the colored taskbar.

I PM'ed Dazzala and recieved no response.

I also PM'ed other members that displayed it in their desktops and they wont send it to me because its a mod of someone elses work!

Could someone please send me these bmp's? :huh:

Is it possible to get the owner to allow these bitmaps to be posted? :) Really great work! Can't wait for more color schemes!

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
