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:

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”

      I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable. 
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.
