someone please fix this bug :)

Who said it was a bug?

If you want to change the colour of the menu bar you can find it at the top of each of the INI files in the VS (open it up using a resource editor of your choice). Change the line MenuBar=249 247 245 to MenuBar=237 233 227 to match the colour of the toolbars.

I came across this theme nearly 3 years ago. After so much time, I would say this one is the "cleanest" as far as I am concered: the task bar, the tool bar, the color, all the stuff. The VS is not very fancy, but very useable and it goes comfortably with Mathon and Foobar, etc. I always use this "metallic shades" on work, although I may try some other "colorful" VSs other time.

Thanks to the author, and to all authors of VSs. Its fun

If I make it brighter, it won't match Themenorth's Winamp Metallic Shades skin and it's made for it;)

Anyway I have to wait for Themenorths' permission to upload files made by editing his files. But then maybe I will make it brigher:)

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.

      I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
