Update 4/10/03
I ( mr magoo ) have closed this thread. Its a mindless, childish discussion which ultimatly helps nobody. Unique has promised me that he will have a new version out by the end of this weekend, so stay tuned.
Mr magoo
----------------------------------------------------------ok....few things that I want to change, and I want to hear what you all think should be different too. Think of this as a feeler....recommend a new start button, I dunna like the one that is there. Caption buttons are being redone as I type...other than that, post any bugs and changes you feel needed. A shellstyle is also currently in devel....as I have never done one, I am taking my time. once all that is done, a full release will be on the books.
This theme is by myself and Xeon, there will be a luna 3 in the works in the next couple of weeks...once this one is done, which will include more colours etc....
IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO ME NOT LIKING IT.******* Updated to Beta .9 ******* Sept 7What to expect for first final:
-caption buttons
-shellstyle
-any other updates needed.

nice theme, i've been waiting for this for a while

... one complaint tho, the font on the start menu is too small, at 1600x1200, i can barely read the text, i've altered all my display font settings but none of them seem to change the start menu font.

You could change the start button, really looks ugly

Very nice theme, it was well worth the wait!
The only possible suggestion I can offer is perhaps more standardized fonts and sizes. In a few areas, the fonts are pretty small and you may also want to consider defaulting most of the fonts to Arial or Tahoma.

Awesome theme! The only problem I see is the text of items in the taskbar, it's extremely hard to read using my 1280x960 resolution.

great style, it is designed very well. Besides the start button, I havent found anything wrong with it.
And adding a reg sized start menu would be nice too.
But great work.

now why would he do that ?
lol j/k i'm loving this theme.... cept the start button
everything should stay the same
The button in the taskbar are really thin, the fonts are barely readable, also the window's bar is too thin, maybe resized it to a regular size?
the start button was good the way it was before (the one you posted as a preview), maybe.... add the text "Start" using the font Xeon posted in his Luna II MOD 1.2
Never the less, start menu is great, color scheme is amazing, minized, maximized and close buttons are great, systray area is superb.....

Well done buddy. Defo need to rethink that god awful startbutton, but appart from that this has the potential to be one of the most proffessional bedroom themes ever made
I cant beleive its here.
1. The start button you had in your screenshot last week was way better.
2. When new windows open on the taskbar that havt been seen yet, its hard to tell cause its a really similar blue. An orange (like luna) or maybe a teal would be cool.
3. Mouse over on the window buttons would be nice. (maximize, minimzie, close)
4. The space between the Programs in the All programs list on the start panel could be shrunk down, its really large and spaced out.
same thing.. everything rules except the start button
keep it up bud

Nice Unique, the startmenu looks great. Couple of bugs here and there but nothing major.

/me pinches b0se
The window bar VT vincent has here
http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...4&t=85256&st=75(First post in that page)
has the perfect size

, maybe increasing it to that size will make this theme perfect, as for mouse over.... I think it should be left like the one you have right now unique (sorry biko...

)
and maybe 2 tone start menu colour?
like this

but the grayish colour should be on the right side?
maybe.. captionized the start button like Xeon using the same font... keeping the original luna sense of style without copying it...

what do you say?

i like the start menu without the TURNOFF buttons...
WHO NEEDS THOSE???
just use ALT + F4

Aug 4 2003, 19:28
the space over the icon would be a little bigger.
Try using this for a start button....
stunning work. i only have the same issues that others have raised, start button, and the way too small text on taskbar buttons
Great work so far. Very much worth the wait.

Wow, this is very well done!!.. Although, at least a shutdown button should be added, and space between the entrys in the programs list should be lessened.

Omg @ the small taskbar font size and startbutton.
Change those and ill switch to it
nice ****... except for the start button :]
may i request blue highlights on tabs instead of the horrible yellow too ?
keep the comments coming guys, appreciate it! Yeah, I dislike the start button too.

Maybe the start button could be the plain white Windows flag. That would look really nice. The widgets are already great as they are. Very nice job!

I still think this user pic would've made a nice start button...

OK - 0.6 is big improvement over 0.5. Start button is much better - though mouseover effect would be preferable in later versions. Thankyou for replacing the shutdown computer button also - was getting a little worried.
As for the yellow mentioned i beleive the following picture is in reference to their statements:
Good job by the way - your work is much appreciated

I agree with smitjel im not too fond of the raised start button so ill still use 0.5.

.6 is really nice.
good work... though i do have a few critiques...
- i dont really like the taskbar being thin... perhaps you could have a thic taskbar version?
- those yeallow rollovers for the tabs
- start button
- thin titlebars
and there seems to be a smalll bug in the start menu:
ive got my icons at 64*64, and the my computer, control panel etc icons in the start menu appear squashed horizontally, see ss...
The flat start button would be good

... but give him a little break... he's still hunting down for bugs too!
I would request a NOT THIN taskbar/start menu version. And if in that version you could add the possibility to view the user's account image and name in the start menu... I hope this is not too much asking

Later, BTW VERY NICE WORK!!!!
I agree w/ the flat start button, but great job so far. I also agree w/ Hidea, I'm sure he's working on it, but give him a little break.
