is it only my pc or is it the theme itself...

the taskbar buttons do not flash very visibally.

for example. while working if a yahoo chat window is on, the flashing caused by new messages are not exactly apparent... any ideas?

You got an old version then.

Navigate to the first post and click on the download link. You will be transfered to DeviantArt where you can download the latest version with better flashing buttons on the taskbar.

i hear about colors... i hear about colorschemes.. i hear about ideas for the vs

but i don't see a shell32.dll guyz (dazzla that one goes for you? )

ps: just kidding.. it's perfect!

ps2: would like to see the icon .dll set though

Wondering that too. Hope Dazzla didn't give up on it.

If he did I will do it myself. IconPackager set that is. I'm not gonna hack Shell32.dll files.

thanks mate, the latest one fix my problem. love your theme...

also logon screens now!:DD

Well, I got ticked at having a gorgeous visual style and a slightly buggy Winamp (ok, it was an XMMS skin) skin. I've corrected/edited (easier to read fonts) the skin and e-mailed Jimmac earlier today. Once I have permission (if I have permission) I'll upload. Btw, the library looks sweeeeett....

Awesome! Hopefully everything will go smoothly and we will see it soon.

Would this happen to have support for the Video window and Library window as well? I used 2.91 for the longest time (running 5.0 alpha now), and not having these windows supported by must skins almost seemed... yucky. 5.0 has increased support and it is now my default multimedia center for most file formats, so I would love to see these windows supported by the Industrial Ximian WA skin. Just a thought...

Reguardless, I hope you get permission :)

Yep, I've created skins for all windows in stock Winamp 2.9x - Main, Playlist, Equalizer, Library, Minibrowser, and Video. Still waiting on Jimmac to allow me to upload.

really really really nice!

love the theme.. and the wallpaper (using the 1337 haxor one)

and now... we need some icons :)

great job.. schmoove  :devil:

In the meantime, I'm using Korilla off wincustomize (iconpackage). Looks good.

oeh... oeh.. link pls pls ... cuz wincustomize can't find, korilla or Gorilla

Vidar: look forward to it!

Schmoove: is there any chance you will change the log off and shutdown buttons? imho the log off is getting repetitive because its already next to the words "Ximian Desktop" in the start menu. especially in the compact version, it looks too crowded with the same thing. is there a way to get the actual Ximian log off and Shutdown buttons and use those? gracias ;)

Just to say a great theme keeps getting better (heck, it replaced watercolor lite as my theme of choice).

But I have one question: Any other color schemes planned for the future? I love the Industrial blue, but I was just wondering if other options would be available.

Vidar: look forward to it!

Nope no chance.

The thing is that the buttons have to be as small as possible because the small startmenu has limited space.

Anyways. I did thave a version with the original Ximian icons on it, but I hated it. It stays how it is right now (well for now that is), since I really like it this way. Right now it has a uniform look. If I replace it with some icons it will look weird and out of place, well that is my view on it.

The thing is that you always have to make a choice, I can't please everyone... I made this choice and I will stick to it.

BTW, Vidar, I'm looking forward to that Winamp skin!!!

This desktop is free to download & use ?? how to use it ?? if it's of that much fame...i've heard about this a lot.

For Windows or for Linux??

For Windows, you can check the first post for a download link (you need a patched UxTheme.dll or StyleXP ofcourse).

For Linux you can get it at http://www.ximian.com , it is a webinstall though so you need to install it in Linux, you can't download a package or something (at least not that I know off)

It was done on purpose. It can only be fixed by:

1) changing the color of menu selections. Not gonna do that, this is how it is supposed to be so that stays.

2) changing the color of the small icons on mouseover. That is something I could do indeed.

3) changing the whole startmenu design. I'm not even considering that.

So I will try to find something to fix this (although it doesn't really annoy me).

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
