Hey! Xeon Inc. took my suggestion! See? Here! * Makes happy thrilled noises! *

The reason he has done this I'm certain is because (among other things), he wants to take 4.0 into a different, new direction. VX 3.3 is already a firm favourite, and many people will still continue to use it, I am sure! For now, 3.3 fits my "mood" more. Thanks for finally releasing it regardless! It rocks in its own right!

Opinions:

1) Still a very clean, very nice theme, and I like the Luna VX protrusion in the start menu, not used to the green bits yet, but I'll try.

2) I'll have to get used to the new Min, Max, Close buttons, again, not used to the green bits.

3) I love how your menu selection as you scroll up and down fades from left to right <- that is my favoutite, FAVOURITE bit so far! (someone tell me the correct term for when you scroll up and down the All Programs menu?)

4) Oh - the Start menu button seems to have gotten "fat/wider" <- is this the size you'll let it remain at from now on? I prefer the less fat ones...

5) I'm not able to see the blue arrow behind the green arrow in the Start button very clearly at all. Oh - I oughta mention that I absolutely adore this Start button here, actually I like everything in this pic (if it ever got released, I'd be over the moon):

Some comments - the new Start button is superb and tray icons are much better, but an indicator of its state would be much better. However, I much prefer the old Start Menu and the Minimise / Maximise buttons.

Don't let all this talk discourage you though :) Its still a great piece of work!

      Dude get a clue, LTSC is Enterprise, not even legal for consumers, and ESU is not mainstream support cycle, just an extended security updates period.

      Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.
