I really like this theme. Especially the thin titlebar version, but what happens to the 'turn off computer' & 'Log off' buttons in the (very cool) 'extra narrow Start menu', or do you have to use some other method to do this?

Looks like I will be sticking to the 'regular title bar' version

Its a new concept of minimalism which I hadn't seen in any other themes and wanted to try :)

Just hit ALT+F4 on the desktop to bring up the shut-down box...

create a shortcut with the following:

"shutdown -s"

for shutdown, and

"shutdown -r"

for a reboot.

To get more options, go to a command.com window and type in "shutdown /?"

i find it amusing that you can abort a shutdown with a -a switch...does it actually work though? never bothered to try.

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 03

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 03

..you beat me gloob, above is what i use, does the biz in 3 seconds !

D.

ps: there are a couple of neat icons in the default windows list that work with these shortcuts, a red cross and a green reboot arrow.

these are nice, i use the reboot one myself, but the shutdown one doesent work correctly..i just get the "it's safe to turn off ur comp" message and have to do it manually....

    • Chrome is Google's commercial web browser product; it consists of their proprietary features (Googlified everything including profile sync) plus their chromium project barebones web browser. Google developers control the chromium project. The chromium project is the "core" for the web browser product from other vendors including Microsoft Edge (their own proprietary features), Opera (their own features), Brave (their own features), etc... The "downstream" teams at Microsoft, Opera, Brave, etc., can either integrate their original MV2-supporting code into future builds, or they can integrate chromium wholesale and simply add-on their own features/functionalities -- their 'current' build pipeline, so to speak. THIS is why changes at the chromium project affect so many products besides only Google's commercial Chrome browser. -- Edit to add: The chromium project is open-source, and is the piece that's Google's code contribution to the W3C and world wide web at large; there are no licensing fees for others to use the code in their own products... which is what they do. Other browser engines do exist (Firefox's for example) but it's nearly impossible to have both engines bundled into the same 1 browser product.
    • You're comparing settler colonies to colonized war torn nations. It's easy to become the richest by coming in and stealing other people's land, culture and resources.
    • ABP has become "old news" when MV3 started rolling out. They've gone downhill and is now simply irrelevant..... in my experience.
    • About two years ago, I switched to Brave and haven't looked back.
    • FWIW StatCounter has been trash for over 25+ years! Back in the day (circa 2000 and GeoCities pre-Blogger era), it was useful to paste a number on your webpage indicating how many visitors you had. In the ensuing 25+ years, they've grown in reputation and changed their ways... but their overall consumer value has remained abysmal. Serious marketing agencies only cite StatCounter when there's literally no other sources available to support any marketing claims! They are the absolute lowest threshold serious companies use to push any sort of narrative about this-or-that happening. Besides their credibility being what it is, they are forever subject to quality issues. They're so bad that my DNS-level ad-filter prevents me from even viewing their main website! HA!
