I take it you have dropped all IE6 support for this theme ?

Next to no images load. Not even barely usable in IE6.

Unfortuntly, at work, I have no choice but to use IE6 - We have no privledges what so ever in updating to a newer browser.

There has to be a stage where the web moves on, and Neowin is probably one of the most modern websites out there. It's like a game developer making games for a PS1. They have PS3's now. People still use PS1's somewhere out there but there haven't been new games out for ages, apart from small, die-hard fans making them.

Neowins like a big game developer. :0 Only work with current technology.

I appreciate that - Unfortuntly, i'm forced to use the PS1 ;)

There was talk of updating to a later browser, but haven't heard anything for awhile.

Things I do not like about it:

It does not show your avatar for now beside your user name.**

The colour selection is collected in a horrid combobox, please use the same Red, Green and Blue balls from before.*

Can we have a drop shadow off the Middle content? It is a little too hard to see the content when it blends in with the background.

The background is too light.

Can the main buttons up top (News, files, ETC) curve into the content?*

Can the Ad have a round edge at the top right of it? It would look nicer with the round edge of the footer.*

*Picture included of a rough concept

**The blue box next to the name is where the Users Pic would be.

Sweet :) On the Pro Version Now :D Can't wait for the final. But Yeah, I agree with Jan's Idea. Have the 3 Circle at top for the theme instead of the drop-down/up box at the bottom of the site.

Good point, I think it wouldn't hurt if it was placed right next to the search button.

I'm not really a fan of it, it's less space efficient :/

How so?

Additional dislikes:

  1. When hovering over Community, the box under it shows instantly, whilst the Community button fades to white, can you make both fade or both show instantly? Both fade would look much nicer though.
  2. I do not like that the Ad is in the footer, it looks out of place, I much prefer it where it used to be.
  3. I do not like the Pro's redness sick.gif Although Darkside will be for Atlas 2 so that is no problem yes.gif
  4. The background is FAR TOO light (I know this was in the previous list but this is a BIG deal.

That's all for now!

I disagree, I think it's better at the top as it makes use of the empty space up top. And it frees up the space in the forum and makes it cleaner. I find it a better layout than the previous one.

I've never been a fan of the circle icons, maybe just having a paint bucket or something would be better? ;)

Also @ whoever said they should get a sub for the FP, we don't have the new FP design either :p

Well, we got to see it, but not use it sadly. Blame Neobond. :devil:

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.

      The nerve of Google to sign this.

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.

      It is notable that around 70% of web browser users choose Google Chrome. However, it is puzzling why anyone on Windows would opt for Chrome when Microsoft Edge is often superior in many aspects and comes pre-installed. Edge collects less data, uses less RAM, and is more optimized for Windows as a native Microsoft product. While some may point to bloat in Edge, much of it can be removed with simple tools, requiring no more effort than installing Chrome. Meanwhile, Chrome reportedly downloads large amounts of AI data (4 GB) without explicit consent. I'm sure you Chrome users love that, or? Although Microsoft’s aggressive promotion of Edge may be questionable, the browser’s current advantages make it a preferable choice over Chrome today, even if Chrome may have been better in the past.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
