Here's a simple shellstyle I knocked up, 'twas a quicky, but I just wanted something that'll match it better than the Luna one:

Great work, Dazz! Maybe I'd like to have a little brighter brown... I can't figure out how to modify by myself. If you do not have time to do it, explain me how to do it :)

a few hours ago we had no shellstyle, now we're gonna get 2! awesome! :)

When I read new color on the changes log I thought a new color variation was added instead of just a recolor... :-(

The buttons are great, specially the caption buttons. And the new menu highlights alone make me want to switch to this style :-)

The tabs and the scrollbars could benefit from some work to make them away from the original Luna/Royale look.

Frankly I liked Element 1's shade of blue more than this one, this one is not bright nor ergonomic, falls somewhere in the middle but not sure where exactly...

This could have been integrated into Element 1 as a color scheme instead of calling Element 2, it would be nice if all the small hard to see improvements were incorporated into Element 1's color too...

Theme Updated

Changelog:

* Updated shellstyle

* Made theme installer, 7-zip sfx, filesize now ~600kb smaller :)

Couldn't set default output though, but this is the path you should extract to:

c:\windows\resources\themes

Make sure you change to another theme before installing or else shellstyle won't overwrite.

Its with or without the shellstyle and also present in 2.1.

BTW, How do you get the shellstyles to take hold? All I see is the crappy XP shellstyle color.

Read post #133. Don't people learn to read in school anymore. Or maybe some skip class to often.

If you want to remove shellstyle it is possible in Folder Options.

You're right, here's one with a lighter brown. It's easy to modify, just open the dll in reshacker and search for the RGB number of what you want to change.

I also modded the Luna Logon, again it's another quicky just so the colours are more in line with Element.

Unfortunately, being human prevents me from perfection :rolleyes:

Thanks for the nice VS :)

...And I did change to another theme before installing.

    • I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.
