i love this theme but two things i would love to see in it:

1. the progress bar on IE and such go to the blue that is used for the start menu

2. the same blue be used for the taskbar for flashing messages from IM clients

1) Sorry, but this is the way it is in the real Ximian...... it stays.

2) Has been fixed. Wait for the next release (which will also include a shellstyle).

is there any chance of you making any ximian skins for other programs like trillian and klient etc.

it would be very cool if you did, this theme is quite amazing, but it would be better if all my apps fitted in :p

Lack of time holds me down.... I'm sorry.

College started 2 days ago and I'm already flooded with work (luckily it is my last year).

Well not to offend or diss you, but why don't you give it a shot yourself. That is actually how I got into this and look how I turned out..... I'm not that bad :happy:

Skinning is not that hard, it just takes a lot of patience.

I myself am a Ximian Desktop 2 user, It came with my LGIS Linux 9 distro and its an awesome Desktop Environment i would recommend it to any linux fans but this theme has really made my Windows Desktop Environment more enjoyable and comfortable to use. Great job schmoove! keep up the good work! in case any of you wonder, here is the link to LGIS, its free to download. http://216.239.37.104/translate_c?hl=en&u=...DUTF-8%26sa%3DG

For next release, is there ANY chance you could change the color of the flashing in the taskbar?

such as: when I get an IM, i can BARELY tell I have.. like if i look at it, it is like okay nothing new, but if i look harder (not a glance) it is flashing, maybe a differnet flashing color? i know it is your visual style, but maybe make it in schemes or something, whatever ya do?

i love this theme so far, dont wanna go to another one, just changed to it like 3 days ago :(

Like Dazzla said, I already answered this a couple of times.

Yes it will be changed. Infact it is already changed in my version I got here. Just waiting to work something out with KoL about the shellstyle. I got the first version of him yesterday and it looked very very good, top notch quality as always from KoL.

I did have some request which he is going to implement, so waiting for the new version.

If that one is ready I'll update the theme and you will have your blue flashing taskbar button.

hey schmoove .. i'm typically just a quiet lurker that enjoys the themes as they come out, occasionally using one for an extended length of time if i really like it. yours is one that i really like. no annoying questions, no dema..requests, just wanna say damn fine work. you could have me if you wanted.

schmoove - thank you - YOU ARE AN AWESOME THEMER! :D ... Also, about something you said earlier:

EDIT: also I decided to put a website online like I did with Bluecurve, just for gathering all the Ximian stuff.

Has this come around yet? If so, what's the URL?

Any ETA on shellstyle, next release, shell32 (Dazzla?) or other mods people out there might be working on? I'm not pushy or picky - I'm just wondering who's doing what - life is busy so I'm not going to be one to scream "I WANT IT NOW!!!!1" or anything like that. ;)

Alright. Sorry I had to have you answer it again. I really didn't wanna look through the thread for such a thing :rolleyes:

its looking ok, but isnt this under GPL?

:pacifier:

You wouldn't know the GPL if it came and bit you in the ass. If you have an issue with schmooves release feel free to report the post, don't post something that has already been discussed in (far, far, far more intellectual) detail.

is there any chance of you making any ximian skins for other programs like trillian and klient etc.

Well... I'm currently working on a Ximian-Skin for Trillian.

But don't expect anything releasable soon, since i'm lazy as hell. :sleep:

And it's probably going to be done for Trillian Pro 2.0...

...but it will be done... somewhen :D

@Schmoove:

Ehm... You don't have any problems with me using images from your msstyle, right? :blush:

@Schmoove:

Nope ofcourse not. It is for a good cause, so I don't mind.

Besides it would look as close as possible to the visual style if you use the bitmaps I made.

Good to see someone skinning Trillian, not that I use it, but lots of people are.

So keep up the good work and I hope to see something of it in the future.

Good luck!!

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
