Haven't been visiting Neowin regularly for a while, this is the first new theme I've downloaded and used in ages. You did a great job of subtly improving Element. The new start menu is drool worthy. Those dark blue shades make it one of the most eye pleasing start menus I've ever seen. Party on. :)

a very logical question. How can it be solely the patched uxtheme.dll when the buttons show correctly everywhere else including in Luna Element 1. We better look elsewhere, the answer does not lie in the patched uxtheme.dll.

I'm looking forward in getting Luna Element 2 Trillian Skin.  The one done by Family Guy is nice (released to match LE), but the buttons are too big for the compact style...  :(

Anyway, good job em3!

It will be updated, and I have plans for a surprise... :ninja:

em3, I'm assuming I still have your permission to port it right?

First of all, em3, thank you very much for making such a great looking theme. I think I might know what the problem is with the Java control panel. It's nothing to do with the uxtheme.dll patch but rather the version of Windows XP. I have SP1 running at home and everything shows up perfect (with the buttons). The SP2 at work have no buttons whatsoever. So I am guessing it must be something that changed in SP2 that caused this.

Absolutely beautiful work! Please keep sharing your talents with us. :yes:

*The Java control panel issue is a non-issue as far as I'm concerned. I have only looked at it a few times since installation and the lack of buttons isn't of any concern to me.

I'm sorry. It been a lot of new post these last days. But family_guy made the first port so I don't think he should be ruled out making the 2:nd one. If you want yours to be released instead, talk to family_guy. Please don't let me be caught in the middle.

why can't there be two versions to choose from? competition is what sparks improvement and innovation. if there were only one type of car why would that company improve upon what they have if theres no competition to compete against?

there are already like 3 winamp element skins so why should this be any different.

well from what i saw in screenshots of his old version he only used the large caption buttons. mine is made with the more compact size. there will definately be differences between the 2 skins, since i have never used his i have no idea what certain parts even look like.

but to say now you don't want in the middle after you basically told 2 people to do it makes no sense.

i don't know why i even bothered helping you in the first place. you are completely lost about how things work apparently.

a beta will be posted on my forums. if you don't like it, too bad. you already told me to go ahead and make it, so i'll go ahead and release it.

this thread is starting to make the reluna thread look like a congressional hearing, in terms of being orderly, logical and intelligent. for the love of pete... not trashing on bant or his theme, but there certainly was a ton of ridiculous and unnecessary trash in that thread and it looks like its happening here too.

"don't put me in the middle of this" ? um, hate to tell you, but you're the theme creator. you're in the middle of this by default.

Well said Stevo! (Y)

You go out of your way to try to help improve someone's work and you just get shafted...just don't get it. I think all of the @ss kissing around here is getting to someone's head. :wacko:

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.

      Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
