[VS] Luna Element

[fredfries]

you could have both the flag and the word start in the button.... but anyways, beautiful button.

The text 'start' was added when I made the button but later removed. Liked it better without the text.

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!

No rounded edges. Sorry.

What are the compatibility problems?

[murderdoll]

im working on a personal mod i might release it later when em3 gives permission for mods.. only the taskbar is modded, its still WIP

[em3]

Don't like that mod. You only made it worse.

[Mad_Griffith]

I also suggest em3 to make a no-roundborder-captionbar version. I think it would be more professional... those round borders make the theme so childish...

that mod sucks. Sorry but it is not good at all

[navicaph]

Is the 'Systems Task' box suppose to be that color? It seems to be gray in all my windows except my C: drive.

[alfredho]

Can't wait for the next version...

[Yehuda]

How about a FIRETRUCK RED, with a BLUE startbutton mod to this excellent theme?

:)

VERY nice Luna mod. Best one yet, in my opinion (Y) Although I am going to wait until that compact version you're working on is finished...

[Rodrigo]

Has anyone tried or suggested a longhornish start button? With only the normal XP flag in the middle of the button, I don't know how'd it look.

[Favvi]

this is absolutely amazing :)

This is probably one of the best theme for Windows XP.

However when I run Microsoft Word 2003, the menus are gray. Could they be made to the default Windows XP Luna blue?

Sound cool. I'll maybe do a firetrack red colortheme after the black one. We'll see what happens.

really nice :)

I`m still waiting for the "final" or the thin taskbar.

Do you search for beta testers? *g*

[bcool]

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? :)

[Lee G. Veteran]

Sounds good.

Apart from Stylebuilder and StyleXP, does anyone know any theme building programs, which you can edit and save styles as .msstyles and are free (trial will do)? :blush:

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:
