Love the new start button. You should still include the original one as an option though, making two button style choices for the rest of the schemes you add. I would appreciate that more than the typical compact start menu and thin taskbar additions.

Great job em3. Who would have thought new life would/could be breathed into Luna like this?

There will be 3 choises.

* Normal (first release, with minor fixes)

* Alt. Startbutton (normal, exept another startbutton)

* Compact (thin taskbar, compact startmenu, compact window captionbars, another startbutton)

The black version I'm working on will be a new file. It will include all the above alternatives also.

Important! This does not happen over a night. Please have patience. :)

Nice theme.

Nothing spectacular or unique, but a theme thats easy on the eyes, has few compatibility problems and looks perfect on an LCD monitor. I was modding on a Luna theme but stopped when I came across yours. This one's a keeper.

I do have a request though. Can you make the taskbar with rounded edges (refer to Royal Blue Mod)? I'd like to shift my taskbar to the top of the screen. Oh, and perhaps a rounded edges mod for those who prefers that the taskbar remains at the bottom.

Thanks!

I'd love to see this in a deep dark rich navy blue scheme. (1.) Let's make the basic Start Button #367998 and then do a little 3D shading for the depressed button(#2792C5) and finally the locked button(#145169). Something in that range.

(2.) For the taskbar, I'd love to see #253D5F - this is the deep rich dark navy blue that could be the basis for the rest of this scheme.

Ok, I can wish can't I? :)

Oh yeah. I forgot - I have Resource Hacker - I'll use it now.

I was thinking more along the lines of an actual visual program. Thanks for reminding me of the question.

This is kind of off topic, but how do you make parts of a bitmap transparent, for use in a theme? :huh:

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
