Sorry guys my internet connection has been down for almost a week. I'm back now I think but I have a lot of catching up to do, I'll try to post the update sometime today.

Well welcome back. You can probably skip most of the latest pages in the thread as it's just everyone begging for their own wonderful c10k sig. :D

guyz i really like this theme but the only problem is my msn messenger doesn't looks nice :(

look!

Change the Window Color 1 to white under the Advanced Appearance area. That will help make it look a bit better, and should work with some other applications that assume the window color to be white.

here you go saint dark, i hope this is what you wanted.

Very nice, any plans for other flavours? If not, mind if I try some?

Edit: I just took a look at the readme in the zip and it says c10k Olive, does that mean you've already got an olive version somewhere? That's the colour i really wanted :)

2nd Edit: Silly me, I found it :)

Ok, I've got a somewhat wierd bug. In control panel-power options I have set my monitor to turn off after 30 minutes. When I use classix 10k (carbon) this doesent happen. If I change to another theme the monitor turns off after 30 minutes as it should. I havent tried the other color schemes nor the classix 10k2 yet. Anyone know whats causing this?? :blink:

My version of Winamp 2 skin released here. I decided to post one color variaton first because I if you want something changed or you found bugs it will be a lot harder to change all colors. So speak up while there still time. :cool: I've done first Classix 1.0 Ergonomic (because that's the one I use).

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.
