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.

    • 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?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
