Art that looks awesome man, thanks.

JagedEdge: I made a list of questions that get asked often, might want to add those to the FAQ? :)

I'll get ya started:

1. How do I use the alternate Startbuttons?

2. How do I use the Classic Start Menu Banners?

3. What the hell do I do with these Shellplayer dll's?

4. Is there a <insert program name here> skin available?

5. Are there times when you don't feel... fresh?

Here's the startmenu in its final form, I'll be working on it today since I have some free time. Tell me what you think now, don't wait until after it's done to tell me you hate it. :D

OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just have one suggestion...

i think you should change the start menu too this:

I have to say that just plain ol' sucks donkey balls :x I mean it's almost as bad as that stupid line on the taskbar.

:rolleyes:

Truth be told, I'm kinda digging the new start menu; no user pic is a bonus (I mean do you have any idea how uncool I look posting a desktop with a duck in the start menu...) and it just looks a little cleaner (more compact). I do still like the lighter 'tan' color though... hrm...

I just spoke to a mod and this will be your last day as a member of neowin, enjoy it. (Y)

Yeah I kind of like that lighter beige color.. hmm brainstorm, I made a mock up of an alternate startmenu using that color I'll see if I post it.

I'm going to stick with the new start menu I made. The update should be done by the end of next week, much to be done still.

I recolored black so now it umm looks black.

Could someone post a link to some decent icons for this theme or some PNG's?

Art, are you Arty from OcUK?

Great theme guys!!

Oh, and when I use Winamp Skin, the playlist still has the classic skin on? (using WA3)

Tom

Yes I am :)

The Winamp skin is designed for 2.xx, not 3 - you can partly use 2.xx skins in 3 but certain components (such as the playlist) will not be skinned.

I may do a Winamp 3 one at some point, but at the moment I'm concentrating on the progs which I use as a priority (and which are best anyway so ;)).

If there is interest I will do the colour variations on the BSPlayer skin and upload them for people to download.

Giga,

I would like to highly suggest you look into using one of these types of styles without the user name as I myself run server 2003 and am unable to have a user picture.

- RaQ

Alex, I made a new start menu without a user picture check page 19 for screenshots. The username is staying though.

I plan on making one (1) new color scheme but I haven't decided on the color. If there's a color you'd like to see give me the RGB values (not a screenshot) and I'll consider it. If you don't know how to get RGB values then tough. :p

Giga,

I see your screenshot but I will openly and honestly say the "....." dots make it look horrible. Without those it's top notch ;)

[Edit: Also I meant the user picture not the user name, sorry.]

The dots add effect. We likes effect! :D

BTW, I've just started on the FAQ since I found some free time. I've already awnsered all the suggestions. Any more suggestions to put in before I convert it to HTML and go from there?

    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
