All I did was replace my shell32.dll with the Bluecurve one Rivak made. You can try Yztoolbar if you want an easier way to change the explorer toolbar buttons.

Can someone help me out with the shplayer.dll? I moved it to \Windows\System32 after renaming it, and still nothing. Everytime I minimize I get the default garrish player.

Thanks...

Did you reboot after installing it? All you really have to do is logoff and then back on to see the changes.

Ohh, this theme is absolutely GODLY.

If i could have some assitance in changing something though, i would be much happier with it..

When you have the taskbar at the top of the screen (its how i like it on thin taskbars) it looks like the item on the bar is not exactly centered as it is when the taskbar is on the bottom of the screen.. see pic for more clarification..

if this isnt a bug, i would really appreciate someone assisting me in fixing this, i have styleBuilder and whatnot, and pretty good computer experience.

Hmm, this theme is awsome! After some major tweaking I got this: http://fusionsix.metabong.com/images/scree...ts/031503-3.jpg [1600x1200, no 56k!]. I'm really happy with it, although if anyone can tell me where I can find some of those Bluecurve icons that go with it, I'd be really happy! PM me if you know, I can't find them on neowin when I search....

I am not having a problem with the shell32.dll, its the shpalyer.dll (the WIndows Media minimized skin).

Wolvereen: I was responding to this post you made..

Do you have a browseui.dll file that you could make available? I assume thats how you replaced your back and forward arrows?

If not, how?

TIA

and I did answer your question about shplayer.dll. You do know that you need to have Microsoft's Powertoys installed to use those shplayer.dll files?

ElementWRX: Nice screenshot, what exactly did you tweak though? :D Search again for Bluecurve, I got 3 pages worth of results. :whistle:

xD I found the icons in some other thread already. I didn't tweak too much seeing as I'm a newbie to this stuff and I don't wanna mess up my computer. I changed the wallpaper that came with it (w00t) and basically skinned everything with this minimalistic stuff...Boy you shoulda seen my desktop before i did this :pinch:

Anyone out there willing to give me a little help?

I've followed the instructions which told me to "install this Visual Style simply copy the folders named 'Classix' and 'ClassixSD' to your 'C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes' folder. Installing the included font is optional" but when I go to change my visual style through Display in Control Pannel I don't have the option to change...

Do I need to make these changes using a program like StyleXP or am I missing a step here...

Thanks in advance

try going into the Resources folder and double-clicking on the .msstyles file

i think using the display options will only show .theme files

So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways may have ended, but its regular freebies didn't miss a step this week. The double drop was for copies of Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. Speed Freeks lands for multiplayer racing fans, but with plenty of competitive shooting elements too. You will be piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures while trying to complete objectives and pass finish lines. Next, Ouroboros King is a crossover between chess and tactical roguelikes, offering the chance to create your own army with special rules to beat incoming foes on the board. The double giveaway on the Epic Games Store will be available until June 11, and replacing it will be Citizen Sleeper and ROBOBEAT. The Humble Store brought a new charity bundle to check out this week too. Landing with the name The Complete Inkle Library, this is a large collection of interactive narrative puzzle games from the publisher Inkle. This begins with Heaven's Vault, four parts from the Sorcery series, 80 Days, Overboard, and Pendragon: Narrative Tactics within the starting tier for $9.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
