Unique,

Great work so far! Congrats on the start button, it looks GREAT, as does the task bar!

However, the following things still keep me from using this as my permanent theme:

- Selected tab backgrounds and button hover color (use XP's defaults here, they look better and would go well together with the blue)

- Verdana font (make it Tahoma in all substyles for everything, like the XP default visual style)

- No thick taskbar substyle is available (This is a MUST)

- Start menu item spacing is WAY off (I wonder why this hasn't been fixed since the original Luna 2)

- In Original style, start menu item text is cut off

- Where you DID use Tahoma, it's too small (I think you still kept it size 7, it needs to be size 8)

- Title bar text is not bold (I think it should be)

- No shell style has been implemented (probably not top priority right now, but later on)

Get these fixed and this will become my all-time favorite and permanent visual style.

Here's a screenshot illustrating the Start Menu problem:

@ dacris2000: All great points...most have already been stated but I guess if we post them enough times, they will be put into the working version.

And about the shellsytle, have you tried using mgartner's shellstyle with this one? It's a good one to get you by until unique releases his...

Right now, you can only use mgartner's shellstyle if you choose the "Original" color scheme. Could you correct it so you will be able to use the shellstyle in whatever color scheme you choose? Thanks!

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By sikhwarrior · Posted

      I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
