It is almost perfect!!? Theres only one thing...

The plain progress bar is nice but it isnt smooth like version 2.1.

Version 2.1 progress was bit by bit and version 3.0 is block by block.?:cry:y:

I dont know if you understand me.

I must have set some margins different then. I'll see if I can fix that for you.

Thanks Schmoove!!:laugh:h:

I haven't gone through this whole monster thread, so it's possible this is a repeat. The theme is really terrific, but it has the "thick scroll bars" bug in Mozilla Firebird that I've seen in some other themes. They're about twice as wide as every other application. Any chance you might release a bug fix that corrects this before you stop doing Bluecurve for a while? Thanks.

Well twice as wide isn't true, but yes they are a bit wider.... I wish I could fix that... but frankly I don't know how.

Excellent thanks for all the work you put into it! I hope to see you working on other Bluecurve related stuff for us. The new color schemes are nice...and the green worked nicely like I had suggested. I can't wait to see your next VS...keep up the great work.

Do you know any other theme developers that you could ask for help? I'm pretty sure this problem has been fixed in other themes, so somebody should know how to do it. I tried searching the forums to see if I could find any mention of this in previous threads, and this was as close as I came. I don't know if that's the problem or not, but it looks like gigatexel and arhra are at least familiar with Firebird scrollbar weirdness.

nice update bro!

just wondering why on the active maximised caption, the minimise button isnt centred like the max and close buttons are, glyphys i guess, is it like it in redhat? and you are replication it or somethin else? probly only needs to be moved to the left a couple of pixels, kinda annoys me, but diddnt want to be picky with such a great theme!

Yes it needs to be moved a couple of pixels to the left. But the thing is that it's simply not possible. What I can do is making the 'fake' buttons smaller so it is centered better, but that would mean that the captionbar has to be thinner to make the buttons square again.... which would mean that the captionbar is going to be too thin so the glyph in the top left corner will be cut in half.... which looks like ****.

I'm sorry it's the best I can do. Consider that replicating BlueCurve 100% in msstyle is just not possible, msstyle has too many restrictions for that. This is the closest I can get.

I was looking at the real linux Bluecurve theme and noticed the bottom corners of the windows are curved like the top corners.? Anyway to do that in .msstyles Schmoove?

Yes and no. It is possible I, I tried it, but it didn't really behave like I expected. For some reason it cut of some pixels and shifted the images a little... which looked a little weird. But Maybe I got another solution... I'll try some things out and see what looks best.

EDIT: tried it out and no, the borders have a fixed size. I can't make them any thicker. Also giving it rounded corners looks weird, it shifts one or two pixels to the left which makes it look bad. So it stays how it is now.

Yes it would be possible... But it wouldnt be as nice as the real BlueCurve because of the msstyle limitations.

Here's the answer:

This is great, I've just tried it out and it seems very bug free. The marine makes for an incredible vs.

One bug I have found (in attachment): in applications that use the small min/max/close buttons the button shows up really wide. Things like foobar2000, dc++, miranda im, etc.

I've noticed that a few times too. Didn't think much of it though.

This is not really a bug actually.

This has to be done, because else in Photoshop the minimize button will fall into the blue part and will be hardly visible. It looks a bit akward in other programs maybe, but I don't think it is a big deal.

OK I see. Just wanted to call your attention to it in case you hadn't known.

    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.
