This came out of nowhere. I was looking for a new theme for my computer cause I was like "I've been using Element for TOO long now. What do I see? Element 3. Well I guess I'm back to Element for the next month or two.

I do like the new scrollbars more than the old version. These fit in much better with the theme.

On a slight usability issue though, on previous versions, I could move my mouse to the top of the screen and access the quicklaunch buttons (I have my taskbar on top, but this issue also affects taskbars on bottom as far as I can tell). I didn't need to think about how high I moved the cursor, because the top of the buttons touched the top of the screen, so I could just bump my mouse as far up as it would go, and select my button.

You increased the height of the taskbar, and I suspect this affected the position of the buttons, because now they no longer touch the top of the screen, and I actually have to aim for them rather than slam my cursor against the top of the screen. If its possible, could you change this behavior to the way it was before?

Wow, I kind of feel guilty downloading such quality work for free...just a really nice, usable theme. (Y)

But you have to admit, a better shellstyle (the one included doesn't even match) would complete it...even if you don't care about shellstyles, a good one would complete the theme. :yes:

As you can see, Dazzla's integrates so much better.

All in all, excellent work! My favorite part of this update is the 2px taskbar increase on the compact style. It's not too big not too small..I just can't use the big fat one. Thanks em3! (Y)

This Luna mod is just great. I was using the Windowblinds ported version for some time, so I skipped LE2 completely.

Since no one's porting this to WB, I decided to use Skinstudio to make a quick conversion and change a few things in the skin (mostly text and colour related), and turned on the HSL colouring... and this is what I got.

About that problem with the titlebar buttons not aligning to the line drawn by the gloss in the titlebar, that problem is easily remediated in Skinstudio. See for yourself:

But er ....well I'll let the picture explain. :D Oh and Thanx you for the person who mad the Logon/off/shutdown boxes for these theme and for the Logo Dazzle and for the shell.dll ...this looks perfect now it should of been this way from the start.

      Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.

      Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
