I updated my logoff and shutdown dialogs with the new buttons from em3.

The update is minor some won't notice the difference but I prefer the buttons now.

Nicely done! (Y)

How bout Royale buttons? :D

Regarding the problem with Java Swing application (like the java control panel) i would like to figure out what the problem could be, because some people has the problem and others don't have it. So i think it could be local configuration problem.

( ) no

Windows XP:

( ) no sp

( ) sp1

(X) sp2

OS Language

Method to enable non-ms visual styles:

( ) Neowin uxtheme.dll patcher

( ) Other uxtheme.dll patcher (please add link to patcher or patch description if available)

(X) Other solution (is the any?)

Ticked in the appropriate boxes. For 'other solution', if you call doing a quick port to WB format a 'solution', so be it.

This isn't the prettiest thing when it comes to skins, but the control panel is the last thing I have to worry about (BTW, this is common for WB, not a specific skin):

I downloaded the hacked uxtheme.dll and replaced it myself. With Luna Element 2, I was having problems with Java Control Panel, but I recently updated to 1.5.0_03-b07 and everything is fine with both 2 and 3.

EDIT: You can find patched UXTHEME.DLLs here.

So it works for you, since you don't use the style as it was released from em3.

You're right, that nearly everyone don't have to worry about the java control panel, but the problem, that the buttons outline is not visible will occur in any swing application which uses the system look and feel (jbuilder, etc).

It is a definite problem with the Element theme, guys. I am using a patched uxtheme.dll and tried the java control panel with the XP default theme and with the DarkLuna theme. They both showed the control panel properly. So, being that the default XP theme and an unofficial unsigned theme work without flaw, one can conclude that its a glitch in Element.

As you can see up above, I am using Luna Element 3 and the control panel displays properly.

...and, I think this post might be overlooked since it ended up at the bottom of the last page so here it is again.

Then what the hell is the problem!? I mean, the only thing I haven't done is install StyleXP. Did you get your dll from the site a few posts up? whats the hash of the file?

I downloaded mine from a repository site that is no longer up and running back when I made an XPSP2 slipstream pre-patched CD.

File: C:\WINDOWS\system32\uxtheme.dll

Hash: 7D7634826C02D0CB825AAF1A38742FC5

    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
