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...

      I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns

      By zikalify · Posted

      Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.
