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.

    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
