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.

Problem occurs

(X) yes

( ) 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

    • 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 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.
