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....

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
