It looks good, however I am concerned about the resources for the Start button, does it really look like that in this visual style when hovering over the button or on a mouse-down/click event which would activate the Start menu? If so, it may be a better idea to use the resources from the Aero.msstyles in Windows Vista for that part.

I don't understand how a "windows 7" theme can ever be "final" by now due to the real theme not even being done itself. Surely you're have to upgrade this to match.

Looks nice though :p

If you didn't follow the stages of this visual style i have to say to you that when i started work on it i released a beta version which was not so similar to win 7 and when i complete it and made look like win 7 then i named t FINAL is that so hard so understand? :)

I'm sorry to inform you sir, but there are in fact, no skins for Windows 7. It's a slight mod of Aero, and a **** poor one at that.

Lord above, I'll never understand why people flock to ugly themes just because some billion dollar company designs them for an alpha product.

I really enjoyed this theme.....until the creator started selling it. I agree with the above posts -- you are selling a theme that is somebody else's work. All you are doing is essentially porting it over to windows vista.

Although yes, it is just a mod of Aero, it is a quite good one. I don't understand what you feel is ugly about it.

What I don't understand is why artists insist on placing non-functional GUI components in their skins just to look more like the original. I wouldn't even consider using this skin simply due to the fact that there is a "show desktop" button to the right that does absolutely nothing.

Yeah guys sorry about that and also for the work of others i don't think so because i the original resources are very few and the most of the resources are mine (i can give you the .PSD if you want). :)

Also about the donation i did it only for the work i did with this style (and it was a lot). ;)

Btw the style has been updated. :)

I think your Windows 7 visual style is the best out there. However, even though you may have created most of your theme from scratch, you are still taking concepts from the Windows 7 theme and therefore, cannot sell the work or claim any copyright to the work as your own. Back in the day, I used to port over OSX themes to Windows XP. When porting over themes, I would recreate all of the resources from scratch. However, I still had to get the original artists' permission to release the theme. All credits went back to him/her.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
