Also Binary, can you provide the Start Button with the XP flag please, when you release the newer versio:):) ....

Radish.

Yes they'll still be included with the new color schemes too.

eta of this new version is asap, or I'll work on it as much as my free time will allow. It's pretty much done, but I like things to be as good as I can get them before a releas:D:D

that is slick binary. not a fan of dark themes, but i'd use it :)

Neither am I.

I am doing this completely for the people asking for it. Black is too contrasting so my eyes are hurting just making this version. I don't know how others can stand it :)

Woohoo!! I already love violet and now orange too?! Yes!

Unfortunatly, violet is going to go under an overhaul. It will be a light pastel type purple. :blush: So be sure to keep the current version if you like the darker purple.

Thanks for the warning Binary. I'll keep the current version for sure. :)

Not much of a fan of dark themes either, but that gradient to black sure looks good. (Y)

Binary, I notice you got a tiny white (maybe not entirely white... but still) line around the window. I don't no for sure, but maybe you should remove that.

It's hard to see if that would look better because you are projecting the window on a black background (maybe project it on a light blue background, then it would be easier to see if it looks better), but maybe consider removing that white line. I think it will look a little bit better that way.

Not sure, but worth a try.

It's a lighter shade of gray. All the watercolor styles have a light coloured border around the window :) It helps define the window so it doesnt get blended in with everything.

And TrainerNIU yes, there will be a shellstyle.

dmb219-I have 1.5G in my themes folder, and if I had to dump all but one, Watercolor Lite would stay.

I guess that makes my opinion clear.

Thanks for your stuff - it's excellent. :D

It's what WindowsXp should have looked like in the first place! :woot:

    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Dude get a clue, LTSC is Enterprise, not even legal for consumers, and ESU is not mainstream support cycle, just an extended security updates period.

      Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.
