Ok, here is version 1.

There will be 2 more updates of this theme in the coming weeks. Including new caption buttons and a shellstyle, 2 new colours, and anything else that people request and I like the idea of. I like the caption buttons the way they are but read on to find out how to get the ones YOU want in this theme.

Feel free to mod this theme, but DO NOT release it independantly. I have taken some time to think and have come to the conclusion that I will release v2 with neowin contributions...meaning substyles of personal mods that are not rips of other themes or a degradation of this one. Just send it to me, and I will include it.

I am learning the shellstyle game, so bear with me on that. I have a good one cooking thus far, but have little time between my two jobs.

I would really like it if someone would make a winamp skin, that would rock, just post screenies up and we can all decide. Lets take this msstyle to a community level...however I will be moderating what can be released.

Mr. Magoo convinced me to release and continue my public work of this theme, and has been an all around great person. I admit that I fueled fires at times, but that was due to my stress. So, less stress on me now, and hopefully less flamming by neowinians. ANYTHING OFF TOPIC MR. MAGOO WILL REMOVE. He has assured me that he will personally moderate this thread.

So, here it is:

and THE FILE - link update 19/3/04

comments are welcome if they are HELPFUL.

ALSO: Choose between 2 substyles: on a diet(thin) and fatty mcgee(thicker)

Thanks.

Unique has posted that he is looking for someone to take on this theme. Its a great theme, and it would be very sad to see it simply die. All those interested should pm / email unique.

One issue though, every other theme I've ever encountered has had the "close" button (in the top right hand corner of every window) actually work if the window is maximised and you move the mouse to the very extreme of the top right hand corner of the screen. This doesn't work in Luna Reborn. It just makes the window unactive, like you're selecting the desktop.

Is this a bug? Or by design? I find it slightly annoying because it means I have to be more accurate in my aim so I can't just flick the mouse up there and click to close.

Flaw:

-taskbandbutton/noedge is cut off at top (see pick)

Items i would like to see improved: (personal option)

-startpanel winflag on bottom right should be removed

-trackbars being defaults could use work

-square toolbar buttons dont fit into overall theme

seems like a nice enough theme,but other then a killer startpanel,the rest could use some work...

    • NirLauncher 1.30.24

      By Copernic · Posted

      NirLauncher 1.30.24 by Razvan Serea NirLauncher is a suite of more than 200 of NirSoft's excellent portable freeware Windows utilities, and provides an interface that makes it easy to find and launch the tools you need. Which works for us - because there's something here for everyone. Have you forgotten a password stored in your browser or email client, for instance? Recovery tools here may be able to find them for you. Maybe you'd like to check your hard drive health? A disk tool will display its S.M.A.R.T. data (if the drive supports this), so you can view read/ write errors, temperature and other useful details. Is your system unstable? The System Utilities section includes several tools that can help to explain why your PC might be crashing. And there are a host of other programs on offer in categories like "Network Monitoring", "Web Browser Tools", "Video/ Audio Related Utilities", "Outlook/ Office Utilities" and more. Please note, perhaps because a few of these tools can be used maliciously (the password revealers, say), some antivirus programs will flag them as threats. We've never had a problem with any NirSoft tool, though, and you can read more on this issue at the author's site. NirLauncher is an excellent set of free tools, and a must-have for everyone's portable troubleshooting toolkit. NirLauncher Features: NirLauncher can be used from USB flash drive without need of any installation. NirLauncher and all the utilities in the package are completely freeware, without any Spyware/Adware/Malware. This package doesn't contain any 3-party software, toolbars, Web browser plugins, or other unwanted surprises. It will not install any software on your system and it will not change your Web browser homepage or other settings on your system. NirLauncher package includes variety of tools that you may need for your daily computer use, including utilities to recover lost passwords, to monitor your network, to view and extract cookies, cache, and other information stored by your Web browser, to search files in your system, and more... For every utility in the package, you can easily run it, view the help file, or jump to the Web page of the utility. When using it from USB flash drive, the configuration of every utility is saved into .cfg file on the flash drive. On x64 systems, NirLauncher automatically run the x64 version of the utility, when there is a separated x64 version. NirLauncher also allows to add more software packages in additional to the main NirSoft package. NirLauncher allows you generate plugin files for BartPE (Launcher -> Generate BartPE Plugin Files), so you can easily use the utilities of NirSoft from a bootable live windows CD. Additional packages (Piriform, SysInternals...) and instructions are available on the Nirlauncher download page. Note: This zip file below is password-protected. The password for extracting the files is nirsoft9876$ Download: NirLauncher 1.30.24 | 39.8 MB (Freeware) Link: NirLauncher Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By MikeK13 · Posted

      What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By WaltC · Posted

      How old is this tip? Seems 15-20 years old? Processor states for the CPU under Windows power options has been a thing for a long, long time. It certainly isn't new or hidden... Also, with laptops it doesn't make any difference what OS you are running, all of them are configured for battery longevity over performance, for obvious reasons. Wanted to add as well that most systems in use currently do burst as setup in the uefi bios settings, and usually when a setting is "hidden" like this in Windows it's because it's either obsolete or it is redundant--doesn't override the bios and the CPU drivers. There is a lot of crap in the registry that needs to come out...;) It's hamless and might consume 1-2kb of space in total, though.
    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
