I'm with bant, i'd curious how a LE4 style in ascension colors would look like. besides that, great work on LE4(and all other LE releases

real good quality styles ! )

@driz: It won't be, I didn't like it either. The captioinbar will look the same as in 4.2a exept it will be darker. I've already applyed it to the theme, it looks good and I'm happy with it. I'm still working on the inactive caption though. I don't like it the way it is now.

@Bant: Thanks man. I admire your works to.

heya bud, figured it was about time i came in here and gave you some public props, as i think i have failed to do so thus far. LE4 is a beautiful theme, youre a talented graphic artist with the eye of a true designer. I look forward to any new work you produce, keep it up.

luna element ascension would be nice

Will you be releasing the mod you made? If it was a mod?

Bant

Oct 17 2005, 19:26

i wouldnt say its a mod, it is a different theme from em3's... but it is very inspired by many of the design elements in LE4 and Vista.

since it is so similar to LE4 i won't release it without em3's consent. colors and presentation are too similar not to give credit where it is due. in any case, the theme is unfinished and won't be released as a beta.

and though i highly doubt i will keep the name, i'm currently calling it reluna em3lent

^ Since it's a really different approach to LE yet still a little similar you have my permission.

would it be possible to change the scroll bar so it fits in better when using the black theme? perhaps making it silver and more 3D?

That screenshot is Bants rather big mod/creation inspired by LE4 and he got a "Ok" from em3 to release it so if you want it you have to hope that he does aswell.

I prefer the original myself (with some personal tweaks

)

This is an exceptional theme. I hope we can see the 4.5 screenshots soon. I also would really like to see a LE4 logon screen.

Great work em3! I don't change themes often at all, but this one made me do it!

No eta yet people.

Here is something you should now. When creating something... graphic design / music or whatever it might be I think for a lot of people the truly amazing (best) work, doesn't get created on demand. One day it just comes to you, a rush of inspiration. Might be weeks of wait, might be tomorrow.

Nice work with the color choices although those caption buttons, based on the screenshot, looks uneasy and not as attractive as they could be inside the thick frame.

The only one I don't really want is the Firefox theme, as the default one seem to be good enough. But the 3 others, I want sooooo bad

Scrollbars & arrows, cobobox, startbutton, active and inactive taskbar notification, fonts are different! Looks good

To be honest I thought Luna Element 2 and Luna Element 3 were absolute crap, and as for Luna Element 1 - I'm using it now and have been for a while.

But after seeing that preview I'm going to download this! Thx

^Yea, LE2 and 3 are crap. But LE1 is even worse.
