I think I will add it back. It is pretty easy to remove it if you don't want it. Just remove the welcome screen in user accounts on the control panel.

And also. I started working a little bit on the black version. After using it a while it got pretty depressing though :p

Black is kind of a depressing color, but if you want to be the hippest guy in the screenshot thread black is the way to go ;)

Or if you're a goth kiddie you'd love black as well..

Personally I would try out black for a while (as it is nice with different colour schemes for variation) but I would not stick with it ;)

Bring back the old PROGRESS BAR!

and no i don't think the userimage is that important.  :whistle:

The new progress bar really detracts from the smoothness this vs once had. It now looks like the progress bar on thousands of other vs's. Pretty common, and not very "smooth". This is still a nice vs if you stick with version 2.5x. JMO

yeah em3, i've been 110% supportive of the quality of this theme up until the new progress bar which is sort of distracting now because when i run opera, the text on top of the progress bar makes it all jumbled and not as aesthetically pleasing anymore...i can live with it, not that major either but this is IMO as well...

i was wondering, is there anyone out there without this "java" issue? if so, speak now, this could be like a pin point problem only affecting certain users...so if u dont experience the problem, are you running win pro or home, or any other?

I have the problem. Windows XP Pro, Java 1.5.0. When I launch most Java2 apps, I get a crash and an error pointing to not being able to get information on the progress bar size. If you can fix it, cool. If not, I understand.

I love Luna Element.

Another vote here for the old progress bar. It's more accurate and aesthetically pleasing than this new one. And if you made a black version of this VS, I would probably never, ever, ever, in a gazillion years change my VS (as long as I have XP :D ). This VS is the only one that I have been satisfied with for more than a few weeks. The others just got boring after a few days and I never got to changing them.

Stop giving me crap for the new progressbar people. :( Many of you where complaining about the old one to when I introduced it. When I first posted the screenshot of the new one everyone was impressed and thought it looked good. I like it myself and I'm not changing back because imo the old one sucks.

I appreciate everyones oppinion and comments about everything regarding the theme, but I am the designer here. :)

Hey em3,

Well by george...as you know per our PM discussions, I could not get the Java Control Panel buttons to properly show up with LE2 or LE3...even the latest version 3.05...As I too just formatted my system (WinXP SP2 yesterday), and tried every combination of Java-Sun with a combination of various 'uxtheme.dll patches...no success

But I just D/L the 'Luna.msstyle test' and to my pleasent surprise the Java Control Panel Buttons now display properly...:) Thanks again for your dedicated, hard work on a very pleasing VS...

:cool: ;)

I liked the new progress bar, it looks very good here in Firefox, and many other stuff.

Unfortunately, my BitTorrent stays ugly with this new progress bar, as there is written text above it, and in the previous bar it stayed excellent. I always loved the old bar, and I didn't ask you to change it to a new one, just fix the old bug, that used to be fixed in LunaElement2

    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      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.”

    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable.
