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.

(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

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it by Usama Jawad Anthropic has been in the headlines a lot lately, primarily due to its latest revenue and valuation figures, along with its release of its state-of-the-art (SOTA) Fable model. While its flagship product, Claude, may be very popular among millions of users, a lot of them are now reporting memory issues when using the tool. Over on Claude Code's GitHub repository, an issue raised in February has been gaining traction once again. Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once. This happens on each launch of Claude Code even if you plan to use the tool in chat mode only. Several users have upvoted this bug and stated that it's happening on their machine as well. However, it seemingly affects only Claude desktop users on Windows, not customers of the CLI or any other platform. Once the bug is triggered, it also shows a Vmmem process in Task Manager, indicating CPU usage of 0% and RAM utilization of a whopping ~1.8GB. Claude users complain that this process should only spin up when you explicitly launch agent mode or Cowork in Claude, with session files efficiently cleaned up after use. Additionally, they are calling for Claude to gracefully handle the absence of virtual machine-based infrastructure, without compromising on chat performance. It's unclear when this issue originated or what the root cause behind it is, but people are once again actively engaging in the GitHub thread as well as Hacker News. You can also find other technical details and log events over on GitHub. It's unclear if Anthropic will look into this issue, especially since it's already been reported for a few months. However, the bug is also causing major annoyance for users, with many claiming that it has led them to uninstall Claude Code on desktop, as a concrete workaround is not yet known.
