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.

    • 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.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • 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.
