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.

you better be a woman then :happy:

sweet sweet *nix-like visual in windows.

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:

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

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!!

The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle 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.
    • At least AMD is still taking Windows 10 seriously (after the oops) before it consumer extended support ends. @WaltC - Memories, 2x Voodoo in SLI with a Riva TNT with an Aureal A3D soundcard.
    • So size is the ONLY selling point????? People have been plugging in PC's to TV's in living rooms for 20+ years. I would take a bigger box for more peformance. Also lot and lots of SFF/Mini ITX build guides out there.
    • My point is, if you buying this instead of a console for TV purposes, that you need to understand that you will not be able to play the most popular MP games with Steam OS. Now if you are not into those games, and into some of the perputual alpha/beta games on Steam then this is an option. I would argue a gaming PC would be the better route, more expensive but take the 1k -1.4k you are about to spend on this thing and build a better one. Because it is running Linux you can overide its 1080p settings. However The Verge complained about its 1080p cap and how you would have to get around it at the CLI, so someone buying this instead of a PS5 or Xbox might have a challege on their hands.
