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

    • Yeah, when I saw that, I wanted to find the nearest nose. You can't find a good nose these days when you need one.
    • Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with state-of-the-art coding capabilities. Due to the cybersecurity implications that would occur due to the availability of such a powerful model, Anthropic made it available to only a select set of companies around the world. The company's plan was to prepare appropriate guardrails before releasing such a powerful model to everyone. Now, after nearly two months, Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, its most capable AI model yet for general users. The company also announced Claude Mythos 5, the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with safeguards lifted, making it more suitable for selected cybersecurity and biology use cases. Claude Fable 5 sits a tier above its Opus models and it beats most other generally available models across areas including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running autonomous tasks. To prevent model misuse, when Claude Fable 5 detects certain requests related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, or model distillation, the request will be routed to the Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic claims that these safeguards trigger in less than 5% of sessions on average. However, for large organizations working on critical software, Claude Mythos 5 can be availed through Project Glasswing. Later, Anthropic has plans to expand access through a broader trusted access program. As you can notice in the benchmarks above, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are state-of-the-art on most key AI benchmarks and they are well ahead of OpenAI's frontier model, GPT-5.5. For example, Fable 5 is the new state-of-the-art model for vision tasks. Also, Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Another big change is that Anthropic is making a change to the way they handle business customer data for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The company will now require 30-day retention for all traffic on both first- and third-party surfaces. Anthropic promises that it won't use the data to train Claude models, instead it will use it against complex and novel attacks. Claude Fable 5 is available today on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It is also included at no extra cost for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise customers from today through June 22. After that, users on those plans will need usage credits to continue using Fable 5, unless Anthropic extends the included access window based on capacity. Developers can access Fable 5 through the Claude API using the claude-fable-5 model name.
    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
