RaINE: Where does this slowdown occur? I've not noticed it myself....

spacey: will fix that when I get home tomorrow :)

Dark Vageta: thats not a bug it follows the caption bar style, if however, no-one likes it I'll remove it totally...

xcession: no probs, I really appreciate your efforts on the Winamp skin, excellent skin and it also means I can spend my time fiddling with Trillian Pro skin :)

OK I'll get rid of it :) Was in split minds about it in the first place, I'll get rid of the border completely I think...

timdorr: excellent news :)

Anyone want me to include the original Classic version of the theme? Its basically much closer to Windows Classic, but with some nice touches here and there.

I suppose that was a stupid question :)

Its basically 'flat' version of Classik, the inactive caption bars give away its main appearance.

Will post it tomorrow when I get back.

excession: you mind if I include the Winamp skin in the forthcoming builds? Obviously all credit will be given to you in the readme :)

ok, here we go. this is the in-progress WB4 version. I've tested it with the latest WindowBlinds builds off ObjectDesktop and it should include toolwindow support. Areas to work on:

-Start Panel stuff (I've done my best here, but it can still be tweaked)

-Other color schemes

-anything else that comes up

Here you go:

Wow. Awesome.

I was going to use this as my default theme...until two teeny weeny little "glitches" popped up. heh.

In Corel 11 products, the menus seem to have lost their borders, so with the exception of the drop-shadows, you cannot tell where the menus begin or end. The menus end up blending in with the color of the toolbars.

In AutoCAD 2004, the toolbar buttons seem to be chopped off on the right or bottom sides, depending on if the toolbar is vertical or horizontal.

These problems are probably not fixable, so oh well.

I've noticed that the latest versions of these two products have included buttons and menus that were designed to flow with Microsoft's Luna theme. (Kind of like the way Office XP has included the blue/grey-on-white that supposedly goes well with it too.) What really ticks me off is that you cannot turn off these options to go back to Classic--you're always stuck with what they think looks good on Luna. This takes away from many other great skins that could be used instead. It's not just Autodesk or Corel. There are tons of companies that do that. This is more of a rant to the developers of those programs, not to you. ;-)

That aside,

You have created a magnificent visual style, b0se. Although I regret that I am too picky to use it, I still love it. Keep up the great work.

Woohoo! This is great news. When I first downloaded DMX, I immediately thought "This inactive title bar is nice...I'd love a theme with an active title bar that looks like this."

I'm stoked.

    • Exactly what I was thinking. All of a sudden in span of a month multiple CEO's from scam altman to this clown has had sudden change of heart does not seem organic change lol
    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
    • Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.
    • I am also on latest experimental with possible insider flags on and aiming in settings for 26h1.. Also see just this wasted space. I do love "movable" small taskbar though but would love more if it had date next to it now just time.
    • Does not make it more readable for me though. The majority of your screenshot is just pitch black.
