Although I visit this board about a dozen times per day, I never post. (Well, I think that I posted once, about a year ago...) Guess that you could call me selfish - I like taking and using all the creative endeavors, tips and tricks, and info supplied by the skinners on this board, but never so much as reply with a "Thank you!" I apologize for my behavior, and want all of you to know that I greatly appreciate all of the visual enjoyment that you have provided me. (I've also enjoyed the temperamental spats - Seems that creative genius (and hard work) and short tempers go "hand in hand".)

The reason that I am presently posting is to put my vote in for a "normal" Start Menu, for the classik color. I have two users on my machine, and am already using graphite for one of the users. I would like to use the classik/"normal" for the other user.

In my humble opinion, DMX might not be the most creative or beautiful style that has come onto the board (although I love its overall visual effect), but it is one of the most useable (especially for a 55 year old man whose eyesight isn't what is once was - I love minimal, but my eyes usually can't deal with the accompanying font situations that arise, at least not on a continuous basis).

Anyway, that's my vote.

Thanks b0se (and my eyes also thank you).

    • BATorrent 4.0.0 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience.

    • Well duh. But it's not their agenda, they just push it forward.
    • Easier to move to Firefox, either Zen Browser or LibreWolf (which includes it by default)
    • People do not care. We are all tourists on this trip called life. So many others thing you can do, should do, then worry about trying to protect data collection. Not using Chrome, the most popular, most compatible and fastest patched browser on the market, because of data collection or some moral/political reason....is a complete waste of time IMHO. But we all get roughly the same amount of time on this trip, feel free to spend yours doing whatever makes you happy.
    • Does anyone know how the Ghostery extension works in Google Chrome? I switched to that quite a while ago, from uBlock Origin after uBlock started having issues just working. Personally I love Ghostery and I think it does a fantastic job, and I really enjoy the whitelist I have built up as well for tons of websites that don't serve ads so that it isn't blocking good elements of them by accident.
