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)

    • Pretty sure you will be happy with the result, good luck and take it slow!
    • Mixed thoughts. I do think MS realized it need's to re-focus on it's core while trying to get people to ultimate pay for AI. My windows machines is my gaming tower. That being said a windows machine I used as a server was just recently converted to no GUI Linux server (and it runs so much better for it's purpse), and general purpose laptop (non-gaming) that could run Windows 11 is using Linux. My work device is a MacBook Pro, and I have a raspberry PI acting as my DNS server, using linux. I honestly have more non-windows devices then devices. I don't consider myself typical user however.  
    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
