There seems to be a bug with my visual style and the latest build of winamp 5 (5.02) :blush:

Here is an updated XML, with improved ease of installation. (just extract to the winamp folder and it should create the right folders)

Please give a shout if you are having problems with it.

5.02 has a new maki compiler, which may be causing errors not with the syle, but with the skin you are trying to use

Uhm, well the problem was with the color theme, and i only have the modern skin installed so...

Seems the XML reading has increased in strictness as several colorthemes had to be fixed to work with 5.02 (Just take a look at the community color theme treads at forums.winamp.com for more detailed stories.

i found one problem i cannot solve. when using virtual desktop manager (from microsoft powertoys) the taskbar height becomes one (or two) pixel bigger. the taskbar buttons are then not clickable on the bottommost pixel of the screen which makes the whole "thing" unusable. any suggestions how to solve this problem easily? i think that what i really need to do is to make the taskbar height one pixel bigger, but was unable to do it.

virtual desktops are great. but with broken taskbar is the virtual desktop manager unusable :(

chr_is: Yep, just to the current user. BTW if you'd rather you can always install it manually - see the first post for details.

gew: In order to do that you'd need to open up the msstyle in a resource editor and edit the ini files to increase the top and bottom content margins for the taskbar and taskband buttons. I won't go into details here but I would imagine that someone somewhere has written a guide on how to do it (though I haven't checked).

I didn't know how to fix that bux with fonts. I have extracted Velvet_Waves (for windows blind) and then I copied TNBlank.ttf to C:/WINDOWS/FONTS and installed it. Then I have reloaded them again and nothing new. I opened TNBlank.ttf and couldn't find any fonts for preveiw inside. I downloaded theme again, and afcorse that didn't salve the problem.

So I presume that ttf file is curropted, and would anyone be so kind and put link here or send me it to my e-mail:

Lucifixm, are you using Windowblinds or mmstyles?

The TNBlank font is what is says it is...a blank font, which is why you don't see anything in the font preview window. That is how the mmstyle version removed the All Program text from the StartMenu.

hi, i really like the theme, great work, however i was wondering how is it possible to align font in title bars to be in centre?

thanks.

Open up the msstyle with a resource editor, find the [Window.Caption] and [Window.MaxCaption] sections in the ini files and change the content alignment.

Hi!

I'm using Spamihilator to get rid of the spam which contaminate my email accounts. Spamihilator displays a fourth small icon next to close/maximize/minimize. And with Velvet Waves as theme it looks a little bit crooked.

I don't know if you can do something about that, but i want to let you know :)

      They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
