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

(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

    • 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.”

    • 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.
