Dont have much time, so will be quick.

Will check problem. Chances ar eit is just button set to borderfill or no background when should have image instead. Wil see into it.

Other problem with toolbar bigger than normal... have found this also, but not sure how to completely fix just yet. will toy with further. In mean time, I ask all SB people to check for me the "Rebar" Classes (all EXCEPT taskbar... it is set to 0,0,-1,-1 to make thinner... could also be reason for fist problem... hmmm) for toolbars and such. Problem may reside in content and sizing margins.

i found 1 problem, it is nothing big but maybe fix for any later releases? i guess i can deal with it for now, lol.

in the image below you can see the height is bigger then what it should be.. for the "go" button, this is for the address bar in your taskbar... i use it... just a little annoyance i notice when i see it... nothing i look at 24/7

That would be a somewhat irritating bug in explorer rather than an issue with the VS. The only workaround as such is to make the toolbar button image smaller so to speak (i.e add transparency to the top and bottom of it).

hi there,

First thanx for this amazing theme, as a skinner myself, all I can say is that it should be a must-have but ... I have the same problem than someone some posts before :

The package doesn't seem to contain cursors, boot screen pictures and the *.theme doesn't find the wallpaper itself cause it needs it in %Windir%Themes\LunaVX and we can find it in %Windir%Themes\LunaVX\Wallpaper. Moreover, when I set the Luna VX theme in my display properties, no windows appear ... an when I apply it, the classic window style is used by the shell.

A little help should be great ... thx :happy:

hmmm....

I dont understand why that would happen to you, unless there's something wrong with the VS you have or the uxtheme patch or StyleXP you are using. When you apply it, does it give you an error saying something like "The VS cannot be applied. Unknown property" or similar or nothing at all?

Usually (and if youre a new windows XP themer... :p) the reason you see the black windows are thus:

The VS the link is pointing to no longer exists there, and hence It cannot make a preview and has black windows, or you dont have any program or patch to allow you to use unsigned visual styles.

Other than that, I can fix up the wallpaper problem for you if you REALLY want, but if i recall correctly, the default location (ie: the place the wallpaper is in the VX zip file) is actually the same direcoty. Unless Xeon changed it... if so its an easy fix anyway, just open the theme file in notepad and change the directory it points to :p

Anyhoo, im about to sand yet another amendment to Xeon now which will hopefully quash all the little things that people have been asking about. Hopefully.

Cheers!

Well, not really, lol, I'm skinner since many years now but used windowblinds and didn't know that XP needed a signed msstyle theme to be applied. But now, it's patched and looks just awesome. Tried, used and kept. A huge thx to you for your help. But now, I'm a bit hungry and my desktop feels nude without the cursors and logons :happy:. If it's possible to have another link to this ??? :whistle:

Thanks Xeon Inc. for a great theme.

I have liked other peoples themes before, but I thank you that you have made the effort to make properly a thin taskbar and Window Title bar. What I mean is that I can right click on the taskbar -> Tile Windows Horizontally/Vertically and that there will be no gaps around the borders.

Though I could have asked this anywhere on Neowin. I was wondering what the files in the following folder path are for? I get them in a couple of themes.

E:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\LunaVX\Shell\

The files within this folder are called shellstyles. Theyre new for XP, and provide the snazzy new Explorer "Common Tasks Menu" for XP.

If you havent noticed these I can only speculate you dont have them enabled, which can be done by opening any folder, and opening Tools > Folder Options, then check the radio button for "Show Common tasks in Folders".

Theyre a new feature for XP, and quite useful I may add.

Anyhoo, the files are used to skin this explorer bar. For example, once you apply it and see the bar, try changing to another theme, moving the files from the folder (just for the moment) and reapply the theme. Notice that those taskbar windows are just ugly gray boxes now?

I think you understand now.

You may also notice the new modern Control Panel "Categorized" look. that's the shellstyle too. And you know when you get that irritating message when you open the system drive that says "Contents of this folder are hidden"? That's the shellstyle too :p

So those are shellstyles! And no theme is comlpete without one (except for the classic win9x one that is)

    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
