Share your beautiful desktop and MacType Profile here 😊

Many of the themes will use UltraUXThemePatcher, OldNewExplorer, and StartIsBack (as well as the latest release of MacType of course 😊)

If you are new to using these tools, please create a System Restore point before you begin.

I'll start... this is Win 10 with the BIB Dark Theme, and Clean Soft profile

[ChicoThorn]

That's really nice! What is the 'BIB Dark Theme' and where can I get it? I'd love to give it a try! 😃

[sammilucia]

@ChicoThorn sure, it's here https://www.deviantart.com/niivu/art/BIB-2-0-800970529 ... you'll need a few apps to get it working (in the theme description) make sure to create a System Restore point first

Is this thread for all our screenshots instead of #550 like I've been posting too? Or is this for our showcase screenshots — that one you started with is a beauty @sammilucia! Are you running a 3rd party theme engine to display it, or is this just something you load directly into Windows using its native themes settings?

嘿嘿嘿~

@ChicoThorn I've updated the first post with more info 😊

[sammilucia]

@cvuuhk wow!

Demo cases for my settings (and trial and errors...)
MacType Core built from my repository

[sammilucia]

I've never seen VS Code look so good 😊Is your core the same as the main core?

[extratype]

It's based on beta5 without the color font support. For Chrome I also hooked SystemParametersInfo() to substitute the font for the title/address bar: extratype@c52ec10
Chrome chooses Kaigen Sans K Regular from my system settings so If I substitutes it with FontSubstitutes then the font will not be available for webpages :(

Regarding VSCode you can find my DirectWrite parameters and CSS settings in #401

[ChicoThorn]

Hi @sammilucia & @snowie2000! I've been tinkering with the DirectWrite settings some more with the ChicoThorn ini and think I've struck a pretty good balance between how Lite Mode and Dark Mode render at 113%! I'm posting these two samples, plus the .ini file for you to check out. The settings for the Sys32 app rendering (ClearType) remain the same as the original ChicoThorn; only the DirectWrite settings have been changed: [DirectWrite] - RenderingMode=5, GammaValue=1.77, Contrast=0.5,
ClearTypeLevel=0.5

🙂
