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?

    • 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.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
