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).

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
    • Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 by Razvan Serea Subtitle Edit is a powerful, free, and user-friendly subtitle editing tool designed for creating, editing, and converting subtitles for videos. It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
