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.

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”

    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.
