Well, that is actually exactly the look which I'm going for if I'd be using the ones without the line :p The screenshot on deviantART had an extra shadow for the buttons which is removed in the current mockup. Still not sure if I'm going for the extra lines or not.

Well... now I'm on Windows 7 but this makes me want to go back to Windows XP... at least on my Desktop which was using XP x64 until a few days ago.

But I just can't stay forever on an aging OS. I'm afraid of continue to love it for so long that I might start getting support problems from some of my apps :(

Well, you can always use it while using XP mode, like dlegend is doing :p

I honestly don't like the overlay flag on the current taskbar. It works well with the smaller taskbar because the buttons extend to the edge of the bar, but it looks weird to me with the thicker taskbar.

I don't have VM extensions on this computer :p But well... I'll still fave it :p We never know if in a few months I get back to XP (I doubt ir but... :p)

But it's really a shame. On Vista there was never a theme that I liked. On 7 it will be probably the same (at least for awhile). XP has a good selection of beautiful themes like yours and from other authors as well.

Didn't came here for a few days and I'm glad to see the new Novus released :)

Like the coloured start button better, looks cute. And I prefer the button without lines.

Emico is my favourite VS when I was still using XP. It's a shame that I use Windows 7 now, but I think I can use Novus when my Windows 7 RC expired at March 2010, for I don't intend to buy a Windows 7 for this old laptop :D

Why would you want to have it without lines? They're not just lines, it's a whole button like the other taskbar buttons. Behind the text and the icon there's another overlay over the taskbar which has those lines, which makes it a button.

Nope, I simply don't like it anymore. Not gonna work on something that I don't like. I also don't want to add substyles just for a different image and such.

As for the thicker style, it has to wait a little longer :)

I am sorry to hear that. I was hoping you will release it today :-(

Aoi is a great style, the way you put it first time + new buttons = just what i am looking for. But knowing your work you do not want to release something you are not satisfied with and I understand it. If you change your mind, aoi will be greated by me.

Anyway thank you again for Novus :-)

Just so you know, Aoi is going to be a substyle of Novus and not a seperated visual style. Aoi was merely a "code name" for the personal mod. I chose the name because it was basically just a blue theme, so go figure what Aoi means ;)

The current mockup is looking a bit different compared to the personal mod which I had made.

That's exactly the same as releasing it. It also doesn't change the fact that it's inconsistent with the blue theme. Also, why would I allow a mod pack if I state "Modifications: For personal use only." in the OP.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
