Thankyou for a wonderful theme,your work is really appreciated.

Now let me chime in on kairon comments.

Kairon: even though this theme is based on Ximian and thus ximian pics and design are under the GPL license,i dont see how you can say that you should be allowed to remake and post a varient of Schmoove excellent port.As this theme is now a theme atop luna rendering engine and as such, part of windows,which has nothing to do with the GPL license,then i would think the whole GPL license thing goes out the door.Now apart from the whole legal issue of who owns what (linux future problems gonna be hugh over this issue) i would think that you would at least honour schmooves wishes to leave his theme alone and make your own varient of Ximian.Think of how you would feel if you made this theme,and then had someone come along and rip you off.This theme must of taken schmooves hours and hours of hard work to make,so show some respect and just be glad we have this great theme for use in windows!!!

I can see everyones point of view and understand both, but it'd be nice if you made that little chat private.

As for the theme, which this thread is about, I have to say it's pretty damn perfect and bug free, that's why I love using your themes, so flawless. Thanks for that schmoove. I have to say though, don't think much of the cursors, you could bundle these if you fancy :whistle: :rofl:

Does not matter, the images and the whole spiel are under the GPL. He's using images off that GPL theme right?This is a port of a GPL theme right?It isn't out the door.Clearly no one here understands the GPL one bit.

Ooo, one thing I have noticed, the vertical resize area is about 1px small which makes vertical resizing pretty hard, it's a simple fix though.

How??

I know that it is caused by the use of the magic pink, but how can I fix that??

EDIT: let me guess: General -> Window -> CaptionSizingTemplate ??

it is a nice visual style, although im not fond of the rounded corners, as they look kinda pixelated on my lcd for some reason (maybe because its an lcd).

as to respect, this board has no ****ing clue about what respect really means. all this board and its moderators care about is the endless bickering and whining about permissions. the entire bs about watercolor, luna, and other styles in which the authors have no permission from the authors of the concept, yet jealously guard the right to modify their themes as if they actually have a right to, taints this entire board. a lot of people need start getting over themselves.

Excellent VS :) Enough to make me finally switch from the default blue one and not change back within a few hours :p The only thing I've noticed is it seems that the taskbar buttons don't change color when that window wants focus (ie, taskbar buttons in the blue XP theme change orange when they want focus, like Trillian message windows with a new message in it). Is that just my system or is it the VS?

I may have missed it in all the bickering but did anyone port the Industrial icon set? How complete is the original linux set? Enough for a system makeover?

No, it's not really big enough.

Edit: I just looked through the folder, it might be enough. I threw them in a zip.

I can convert them too if they're complete enough and someone else can't but not tonight, I need to sleep.

Nice job on the theme. Im currently running gnome 2.3 on my linux box however I have always liked the Ximian themes. Im also a GPL fan but this is just a theme and shouldn't be made into a big issue. He made the theme, it looks nice, someone else wants to rework it then more power to them.....i just hope they give credit to where credit is due for the original parties making a good theme.

No, it's not really big enough.

There's not really enough there, and they're in dodgy sizes, that sucks :( I've made what I can out of them, added a load of mimetypes, custom folders and stuff:

No that is not your system. It is supposed to be that way. If you look closer you'll see that it has a black border.

I agree thought that it is hard to see, that is why I already changed it in my version I got here. It is blue now.

Expect that in the new release, plus (hopefully) a shellstyle. I don't like making them.... but I don't have much choice I guess.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
