Prepare yourselves, the old skins are going bye bye!


Recommended Posts

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

The lack of selection on Finity was an outrage to me! I HATE the dark dark blue which is 95% of why I use Shift Graphite today.

*sniffles* I'll miss you my beloved Shift.

EDIT: Owait. Apparently I didn't read that right. A NEW theme. As in entirely new. Ahh I get it. I hope it will have colour selection.

I like Shift for the Forum and not Finity, but Finity for the main page.

So OS terms, im sticking to XP(ironically lol) and Finity ='s Vista. So I hope the new theme will be Windows 7(a blend of both).

Anyway, OS Metaphors aside, I hope you guys make it a nice theme. Shift and Finity! Remeber that!

Can I request something?

I'd like the theme to have user changeable colours, as in a fair few of colours.

Abit like msgplus's website, a design that can have the colours changed easily and still look as good:

http://www.msgpluslive.com (click the paint icon at the top to change colour).

Thats a bad comparison in my opinion, all bad opinions of Vista aside, Vista was a major overhaul behind the scenes and visually and thats how this new IPB3 theme should be compared to. Finity did not receive nearly enough changes to be considered Vista and it never had any of the complaints that Vista did. But, I don't think there is a version of windows that you can compare to Finity, unless you call XP SP2 Finity and XP Shift.

When is the expected date of the release of this?

We plan to keep the old skins until we upgrade to IPB3 (at which time they will become incompatible).

The IPB3 upgrade is expected in or around June of 2009.

I like Shift -- I don't want change :no:
I like Shift too. How about we make a petition? :)

Just try Finity for a week and if you are anything like me, will quickly forget about Shift or won't even realize you are using Finity anymore.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
