Loving this theme since v1. Any chance of an Alt. Start Menu for Royal?

Yes indeed...as the subtleness of the Alt Start Button (especially with the Compact Menu Style) is very elegant.

Just a thought for I'm sure that you are quite tired of updates, but some of your colleagues who also do beautiful, clean work like Franco (KoL) & Lennard (D'Blade) sometimes add a Extra file (with various Start Buttons to choose from)

Anyways thanks for the Royale style...

:)

You people don't understand how hard this theme would be to update if I applied all your ideas, and the file size would probably be around 100mb. I think this is the only theme where there are as much as 6 styles to choose from.

If I were to make the compact taskbar bigger how much bigger do you guys want it. The Default taskbar size has +4 padding, Compact has +0 padding. I don't think you want more then +2 though.

That sounds about right. Maybe contact Kol and see what he used for sustenance? I would love to use the thin, but it's just a little tooooo thin for me.

This theme is cool and im using it whatever but for me the compact taskbar is a little too thin so im just using the default sized one. The update with royale was good though. I think this theme will be my default for a long time unless you are planning on releasing anything else (Y)

So maybe a "mid-size" version is exactly what you're looking for! :)

Its not the only theme with as much as 6...not by any stretch. Lots of themes have more than 6...

(N) Not keen on the compact taskbar getting bigger...it wouldn't be compact. Your choice though - your theme.

I wouldn't want it much bigger either...but I'd be interested to see what the little extra padding would look like.

em3, maybe you or someone else could make a mockup of it, just to see what it would look like?

Why don't you just try another theme with the extra padding, like Sustenance.

Now there's an idea.

IMO, Compact wouldn't be compact if it were bigger. You'd have to call it "Sorta Compact".

I think the problem is that too many peeps today use screens that belong in movie theaters, and things look too small on them. Compact looks great on all my screens, 15, 17, and 19 inch. Anything bigger than a 19 should be used for TV in my opinion, not a computer. :whistle:

em, the majority appear to be really pleased with what you have created. I wouldn't rack my brain trying to please every last person. That is impossible with anything, and you will drive yourself nuts trying to do it..

I'm addicted to Element. Looks like I'm not the only one.. :yes:

Absolutely not... I used to switch from theme to theme until I found Luna Element, that is now my desktop of choice :yes::

that seems to happen with most people :)

btw, 35 pages of replies in 12 days seems very good, isn't it? :)

em3: Great job on the skin. I was personally happy with 2.0 original and I find that all this extra stuff you added is just "Whipped Cream Design". In other words, it's not needed for me personally but I'm happy that it's in there.

I'm sticking to Alt. Start Button full sized because I find that it best matched my personal style.

Thank you again for this piece of art.

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
