sz1: I've been working on this one for a long time, and you released your theme just before I did, when I saw it I thought "bugger - hes gonna think I copied him", but I honestly didnt, I got it from Smooth Stripes 3, absolutely loved the two tone caption bar but not the mac appearance...

Giga: The start button does look a bit like Classix, but I tried to keep it not that way, if you know what I mean :) Its the outline around the work MENU that does it, but I wanted the outline so it matched the caption buttons

Thats not a bug with the Log off highlight btw, theres absolutely nothing I can do its purely a solid mouseover.

Nemo: thanks for that, will look into it!

Thanks again for the comments!

This is your best yet, IMO. Positively first-rate. Dozens of small subtle touches make it stand far above the rest.

This is the sort of look XP should've had from microsoft in the first place, instead of that awful Luna. I had gone back to Windows Classic, but this prompted me to re-load Style XP!

One request: I hate Tahoma. Verdana is more readable, IMHO.

Thanks everyone :)

Bant: It is called DMX, but its prefixed with b0se so when you look through your skins in the appearance tab all mine are together, that was the only reason for it :)

This did actually start out as a replacement for Windows Classic (pretty obvious from inactive titlebars!), then I modded it and this was the result.

    • 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.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
