If anyone is wondering why all themes but one have been removed from the gallery:

In my enthusiasm, sure, I may have created some different themes that were eye candy or perhaps even useful for some people.
I was so busy getting them out there and while they certainly worked, my own work ethic now has demanded something more. Any of us can always do something better tomorrow than we did today. That stated, I decided to painstakingly take my time, look at every theme and ensure it works and scales as intended. I found some won't like Orchestra on resolutions in windows 11 where scaling is 250% because 400 pixel menus remain at 400 pixels and for it to look like it does on 1920x1080, it does not resize the 400 pixels menus 250% yet it does with modules - no idea why other than I designed it with absolute positioning. I may or may not rethink it. It is a Windows/Microsoft thing not winstep and my issue, nobody else's.

SO - I decided to re-upload one at a time after I have checked that disk drives work whether one drive or 20 and scale properly and the menus look ok at most resolutions. Subsequently, I decided each theme deserves its own description and notes, not a generic note. In those it will say where and how it works best with recommendations people can take onboard or ignore, and a recommendation if it is appropriate for a specific theme to avoid.

I can do no more than that but the way they were, I could not live with them.
Finally, I have edited, changed and added things to a lot of the themes that were previously up there.
It won't be fast, so I'll simply list what I have reuploaded. I yap too much on here anyway and need to get back to what I have always done now the year has well and truly kicked in.

The Foundation fan theme is still up and I will re-upload that first. As for the rest, I will likely do no more than five at any time, most likely less. I will list with a Gallery screenshot, post uploading.
Ciao for now

I didn't do the gallery code so I'm not sure if it is a good idea to keep on deleting and re-uploading themes, or what effect that has on the database / server disk usage since the gallery was never stress tested and I haven't really looked at the code.

Once you re-upload the themes, try to avoid deleting them every time you want to change something, please... edit the theme instead.

But you are doing the new gallery code?
Nonetheless, mine is not to question why. Will do.

It wasn't originally done by me and I will only be able to modify it when the time comes with the help of the AI.

@Jorge - I hope you are aware that Big Tech AIs keep logs and anything that you discuss - *YOUR* data! - not only get used to train the LLMs but also are likely to be sold on. So you never know where your code could end up! Give Proton's privacy-first AI assistant Lumo a try, it might surprise you.

1st uploaded / updated exactly as stated. The rest will be over time also as promised.
Image shots will all show desktop with modules and the second menus and the alternative disk - if Horizontal, the other Vertical and vice-versa.
Cheers



The above will be all I will post.
This once, the images in the gallery will all be like this. It means any user can see exactly what they are getting or if they want or do not want a specific theme.

@GREG - In the gallery now. Regards.


Modern Offices available in the gallery.

There is a slightly more spacious version of Modern Office 1 wallpaper in the wallpapers section of the gallery I just uploaded, should anyone prefer.

Will include this theme in the next 3 in a day or so time permitting.
Seismic and VU meters tend to have a slight delay of 5ms-25ms depending on manufacturer. The Net gauge while accurate and visually almost instantaneous, I went against, I created a delay of 25ms. I found the nature of VU and Seismic meters was not theme represented well enough. Sure criticise the crap out of me for doing it but I am content. Gemologists and Geologists use seismic meters. It does what was intended, albeit a little late. It jumps, just like a seismic or VU meter does. I also like the half-moon glassy look as something different. It was not as easy to align as I had hoped either. It may still be wrong, also why I am waiting and will look tomorrow fresh.


P.S. I watched an audio engineer a while back test VU's on a Neve desk, an SSL desk, a Harrison desk, a Soundcraft desk and a Yamaha desk. I did not pull that millisecond delay out of a hat. I was there when he wrote down his results. He tested with recorded audio as well as sinewaves and pink noise generators. The needle on the gauge also was attempted to emulate operating like a magnetic meter or sensor (different again) which is found in metal detectors, also used by gemologists. If you consider how far down some metals are, it is quite likely the delay is even greater.
