@martin10018: Both em3 and me couldn't reproduce the bug so it's also unknown how to fix it. Have you tried using the visual style without Styler on that PC?

No since I cannot. I don't have adminstrative rights on this pc and therefore cannot patch uxtheme.dll. This is the first visual style to have this problem. But I can live with it since I use another visual style ATM where I do the beta test for an artist from the Netherlands. ;)

Indeed. It's becoming a standard for users that a visual style that isn't black should be made black. If you look at the comments on Ambient at deviantART you'll see a whole lot of people almost demanding it.

This is nothing against you though Krokus :p

* Fixed small issue with help button position.

Hmm, did not help for me. But I can live with it.

I know this fix don't fix the issue with Styler. It was a fix for the position as the text say. The help button was 1px to far to the left.

I don't know how you changed the icon sizes but this is not a bug since you've changed the default settings. The icons on the right should be 24x24.

EDIT:

Found the Large Icons options. Gonna look into this and see if I can fix it.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By seacaptain · Posted

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
