OK, now I've used it for a while, I've noticed a few things. I apologise if others ahve pointed these out, just thought I'd add my thoughts.

The colour of the text on the bookmark toolbar doesn't really fit with aero or Fx and is my one major (ok, so its not really huge) gripe.

Some of the favicons on the bookmark toolbar have a white border around them (i appreciate this isn't the fault of the the theme, but it is exacerbated and there might be ways to limit the impact, idk)

Otherwise, as i said before, I love it, really good work.

The favicons having a white border, can't do a thing about it... You can edit the favicons manually (some way, i think), but there's no way to do that...

The text colour: at the 4th # in the userstyle you can edit it. Example:

#main-window #navigator-toolbox #PersonalToolbar toolbarbutton > label
 {
	 color: red !important;
	 opacity: .90 !important;
 }

Wow, that looks bad.

Yeah, make sure you edited the files correctly, and have all other themes off except for the default one.

It was his GMail notifier that did it. Helped him trying to fix it. (It's fixed now)

Too bad they didn't have Vista at work. I would be running that on the XP box here. Looks cool though! I have always like semi-transparent apps and windows. :)

BTW, interesting effect if you run it in XP. (Mac as well, tried it a few days ago there for kicks)

Mind posting the interesting effect? Would love to see

This is what I have and the extensions I have going.

As for firefox plugins - Better Gmail2, Forecast fox (See that at bottom), IE TAB, Google Gears, and Stylish.

I can't do the Mac as I am at work, but pretty much does the same.

You need to have Windows Vista for this to work. XP won't work.

Read the bug report in the OP and realise that this is a known problem...

What mean OP?

If u add this script, status bar will be show but text doesnt looks nice.

haiz....... sadly it doesn't work properly at my firefox. i'm using vista home basic by the way.

is it a must to use vista with transparency (glass) effects? :s

post-259616-1223393253_thumb.jpg

can you possibly make this work for vista home basic as well?

i doubt that.. :(

I have no idea about making it work in Vista Home Basic, but I highly doubt it, as I don't think it's rendered the same way...

How Can I turn on status bar?

Add this to the stylish script:

/* Fixes a problem with ugly statusbar text*/ 

.statusbarpanel-text{ color: gray !important; opacity: 1 !important; }

edit:

this is for the findbar:

.findbar-find-fast{ color: white !important; opacity: 1 !important; }
.checkbox-label-box{ color: white !important; opacity: 1 !important; }

Does anybody know how to remove the separator between the statusbar icons?

You need a Vista with glass support. It will never work on Vista Home Basic because it just extends the area for glass to the navigation and tab bar. But your system doesn't support glass at all.

Hi there!

Thanks for all the good reply's! I'm glad you're all enjoying it!

I've updated the style today with some new bits I got, it's all in the original post, and done some cleaning!

I've also rewritten the original post, and it is now a lot clearer how to do everything.

Thank you all, and keep the downloads coming!

Ambroos

(PS: if anyone knows how to remove the status bar divider lines, please let me know!)

    • 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.
