I know that isn't your fault, but this theme is ugly (because its a terrible theme on longhorn). Also, the real aero's taskbar looks a lot different from this taskbar and lots of other things don't look like the aero from paul's site. No offense, just looks like another Longhorn theme.Nothing really to make it look like "Aero"

As far as I told you. It's not real Aero themes. It's my Aero which used Aero's resources. For Aero fans, Comcepts themes will go out in 2.0 like attached pic. bayrider, where's white you mean? Is that background dialog? I could fix it if you tell me. And Aero taskbar is 3D taskbar with new engine si it's not possible to make it like that and also ugly.

I love what youve done, but damn microsoft has gone backwards plex is getting worse i think they should sepnd some more time on plex, but good work anywho maybe try and make it less glossy i think that may be whats bringing it down in my eyes...

I'll give it a try when it looks like that :laugh:

Do i need to have any other software or can i just install this? I have installed it and i can also see this in the theme, the thing when i select this theme i can see the preview fully black and some few blue lines. Why is that? How to make it work? Someone help me out to get the theme correctly........

thanks

Not sure about where you could find aero resources... the files sound fake since MS has aero behind lock and key right now and it doesnt leave a certain lab on campus, which very few people have access to. Could you send me the files? I'm working on an aero conversion for my desktop right now as well and I'd be interested to see what you've recieved

    • Not sure there is good value here.... the only real choice is 2GB w/ Controller since 1. 512GB would disappear fast based on today's PC game installs 2. Controller is back ordered until 2027. The appeal of playing PC games on TV (along with PS5) sounds interesting, but I am not too lazy to fire up the huge PC either. Not really sure this would be "worth" it.
    • This might work, but the boot menu F12 only shows hdd and dvd+/- and Niks In the bios all usb are enabled. the usb stick is in place and in the boot menu it does not show up in the bios boot order.
    • Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.
    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
