As stupid as it is pcbeta always sticks their logos in lower right corner, so it doesnt automatically mean it fake, if thats what you were wondering. But anyway - no big point of this considering its Chinese... again. I dont see myself messing with homemade packs unless thers some huge changes (althou seeing old superbar buttons back is nice its not enough). Also the fact that rc is really close.

I really do hope they do something about the taskbar prior to final realease - it's not ergonomic at all.

And what would you like the see tho it wont matter but what exactly would ya want cause the new taskbar is far more advanced then the past taskbars witch have all been the same since windows 95 with very little change

"Clearly"??? Hardly. After squinting a bit and mashing my face to the monitor, yeah. It appears to be 7082. But that's not the point. Why cover it in the fist place? Completely stupid.

You'll notice that clearly was wrapped in " marks. It was covered because that's where the watermark always gets put.

What do you mean? After using the taskbar in 7, it's VERY hard to use anything else. I've found that I get work done quicker and find the window I'm looking for with no problem. Can't say the same about the old taskbar, which I've had a recent experience where the new taskbar sure as hell would have been a great help. I love the fact that it looks clean even if I do have crap loads of windows open.

Anyone who thinks the taskbar icon glow has been changed since 7077 are wrong and need to look closer at the screenshots. You can clearly tell by the border effects on the opened windows shown that the user simply clicked on an empty space on the desktop before taking the screenshot.

Doing this changes the border effect of the opened windows and the taskbar icon to a clearer effect until you either click on the taskbar icon or the opened window which will return it back to it's normal state.

Next time you have a window open in 7077 click on an empty space on the desktop and see what happens to the taskbar icon.

Uh no. If the user would have clicked the desktop the window wouldn't be focused as they are and all the buttons would look exactly the same. Foggier windows, red close caption, etc give it away that it's fully in the foreground AND focused. You're wrong.

Still cool either way, but its nothing to jump and down about. I just wonder how this compares to the RC and if we might see the *new UI* in the RC or not. I mean I know its only said to be in RTM builds, but hope springs eternal. My only question is how the hell are the Chinese getting ahold of these leaks left and right?

Ok I didn't see that the WMC window was fully focused but on a lightish wallpaper like that it's hard to tell if it's different or not. I highly doubt it's been changed since 7077 as 7077 onwards in the winmmain_win7rc branch is code frozen meaning only bug fixes are being worked on not UI or feature changes. Time will tell though.

That "new UI" is just a rumour and I expect it to stay that way. Remember the RC was suppose to be relased on the 10th of April but looked what happened there. Don't listen to rumour.

Oh I know it's a rumor, and whether it gets a new UI, well I could care less. I'm just happy with the performance thus far, and the Aero still looks good to me. With the other tweaks to make explorer more color neutral, I honestly think that's enough.

I have to admit I haven't used it so I can't comment at all on it's functionality. Based on nothing else but screenshots I feel the new bar looks a bit flat and chunky, it's not pleasing to look at in the slightest.

I know this concept really pushes the way Apple do their iteration of a dock but if we pretend for a moment that Mac OS X doesn't exist, this would be an incredibly awesome way of implementing it:

I strongly believe the Superbar is way superior in every aspect then OSX's dock.I love OSX and i have OSX86 installed on 3 pc's but when it comes to superbar VS Dock i have to admit MS has done a gr8 job with it.Beautiful to see, simple to use,ergonomic,very tidy and fast enough. :)

I wouldnt want to see that superbar on 7's final release and i hope MS keeps it the way it is.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      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?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      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.
