Here's my osx style, using a surprisingly good aqua desktop x theme. I cant find an Aqua webblinds theme anywhere so could someone point me in the right direction? ~~Neyo~~?

And i've just found out that the damn Objectbar trial doesn't let you install your own themes. And i've got about 5 now, Damn you stardock...

Yeah thats a desktop x dock, i've posted the link on the january destkop thread. Sheer has posted his REAL Mac OS X desktop there. It's pushing me further towards buying a new iMac...

The download on the dock is there. What makes you think i edited shell32.dll?

I also have to confess to not liking the Aquadock program at all

Dude... i see on tha Taskbar... U have a HTml page running..

Well.. u see the icon, used 2 show an open IE Window is that Lame Ass Blue and White icon thing....

u shud edit ... that really annoyed me... Luckily... i found the dll and edited...

If ya wanna... its MSHTML.dll (obv System32!)

As For AquaDock!? ..Why Do u hate it So Much? ... i did @ 1st... esp wen most App's Icons look Awful... but as u can see... u can do some tidying up with them... and it dont look so bad... All u gotta do is edit the window icon, for that app... in most case's is easy... unless its a Windows App like IE, OE, Media Playa... etc! ... then u have 2 get tha DAMN Dll... Lol!

but i like the dock now... and i actually use it, as a task switcher... its not just eye candy! ... i wish it could have some animation whereby wen an app would usually flash, in the taskbar.. the icon bobs up and down or something... Cus Messenger is a pain wen u dont have Sound, and u ditched the taskbar! ... :p

John Folden (pretty well known OS skin author) just updated his H20 skin (Graphite Aqua skin).

Here's what it looks like.

The Apple lawyers just to do the rounds on the websites looking for this stuff. They once threatened to sue just for a SCREENSHOT showing a Mac skin. It's amazing how far things have come since then.

frogboy - that's a very impressive Aqua-style skin you guys have over there. doesn't have the common 'huge-assed ugly title bar' that i've seen quite often on the .msstyles Aqua-based themes. the buttons look pretty smooth, and except for the font usage (ugh), would look perfect in its default settings.

maybe it's time for me to give WB 3.0 a shot again..hold on, lemme set up a system restore point now ;)

I can't take credit, John Folden was actually one of the guys who helped create the popular shareware program NeXTStart (www.winstep.net). He's a great skinner. Most of the best OS skins were done by him.

I find ObjectBar still a bit buggy for constant use. The new verson implements those smart menus thingies (where programs you havent' used in awhile don't show up by default) which is what kept me from using it in the past - I need that feature, I've got like 200 programs installed so I really need it to not show all 200 when I choose "All programs". That feature seems broken on XP for some reason but I could just be doing something wrong. But I digress.

Neoguigui....

That Looks Pretty Sweet..! ...BUT...(Damn i hate these BUTS! lol)

Can i assume, thats the Desktop X Finder, and the Popup Dock Menu!?

i have that theme too... But i simply Cannot stick the 1024*768 re limit ... There's NO Space...

...And... The Finder Is Pretty Useless too! :( ... i know WinMac is By no Means as Cool as Object Bar, in terms of functionality! ... but u can get used 2 it!

... i love the theme though... and before i began 2 hate 1024*768 .. it was Sweet!

Nonetheless, it looks pretty damn Cool!!!

...Guys... WE HAVE 2 Keep this Thread Going... it's Becoming the Heart and Soul, of Neowin! LOL! ...Well OK, Not Quite... But hey... it was my "big Speech" part! lol!

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
