bug?

i dont remember this happening when i first got the theme, but somehow, i see it now after a couple days of use..

its the Compact Marine color scheme..

looks hella weird :wacko:

I have no idea how many times I've said this but that is to do with the TN Blank font installation.

If you used the installer it will be installed automatically, however due to a small bug which I haven't gotten round to fixing yet you'll have problems after you restart for teh first time. To fix that open up explorer navigate to your fonts directory (located in your windows directory). Make sure the TN Blank font is listed and open it up just to make sure it's correctly installed. After that re-apply the VS and everything should be OK for ever more!

If you installed manually make sure that you installed the font correctly as well.

The download links aren't working for me...both sites give me a "file not found"...

Edit: Tried a different approach and went to http://themenorth.deviantart.com and then downloaded that way. But then when I try to install it, Windows gives me a "VelvetWaves_3.exe is not a valid Win32 application". Any ideas? :huh:

Edit again: Your signature link to getskinned.org works! Thanks!

Somehow the skin won't install, it installs to the directory, but doesn't show up in Options.

And when I double click on the .msstyles, and press Apply, it comes up with an error, doesn't say any error number or message, just an error saying it cannot load the visual style.

People have had that problem in the past; I believe the cause was an 'old' version of the patched uxtheme.dll. Other than that I can't think of anything.

Gr8 theme TN ...  :yes:

Had been using Beacon for a long time now.

keep up the good work. Just 1 request ... can you do a black or grayscale for the theme?

I absolutely love darker ones. :happy:

I'd like this too.

How about a black scheme called "Shadow" with grey undertones?

Or a black scheme called "Moonglow" with white/yellow undertones?

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
