Hi, thanks for your great theme. However, there has been a bug for quite a while which doesn't seem to be getting fixed, even with all the new iterations. Someone posted a screenshot early in this thread. Upon reboot, the start button is cut in half - i.e., the blue task bar is overtop of the lower half of the green start button. It's very annoying, and is rectified by right-clicking on the taskbar, selecting properties, and selecting ok. This brings the start button back to normal. Please try to address this in your next version. Thanks again for your hard work.

I don't think it's fixable. For me it look correct after a few seconds though, don't have to click on anything.

Just curious, the latest Luna Element 3.1 LE3.exe is 295K. After installation, if I recompress the C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Element and ElementA folfers I got a RAR which is 1900K. And even bigger if I used zip

Your exe has an incredible compression ratio, how is this technically possible?

The file get so small because all files are included more than once. For example shellstyle (12 times), and all the bitmaps in the msstyle file. The compression method is called LZMA. It is what 7-zip use. :) I have never used RAR, and never will. Just because it costs money doesn't mean it's better.

Hey DMT welcome to Neowin!

I wanted to let you know about a custom that we have here...

Reading before posting!!!

; )  The progress bar thing is a can of worms that you may not want to open.  lol

I think that if people think that the progressbar should be altogether, they should tell their opinion. the more we try, more chances we have of having it.

Once and for all people. I like the current chunk progressbar, and I know it looks good. It's just a matter of taste. If I had never used the solid bar in LE2 I bet not a singel one of you would complain right now. There is a reason the theme is called Luna Element. The current progressbar is more Luna than the solid one. Stop whining please, this is getting ridiculous. :p

Even though a lot of us have been nicely asking for it, it's not likely we will see the old progress bar return. Check out the above comment from em3.

Simply do what I do and use an old version with the smooth solid progress bar. It looks superior to the current chopped up one, in my opinion. Oh yeah, to quote the master, "please stop whining!" ;)

Well, you're gonna get the Java problems if you revert back.

em3, you might want to submit this VS to MS to see if they would digitally sign it for official use. No one in their right mind would look at this theme and not think its screams quality. Doubtfull anything would become of it, but hey worth a try!

microsoft wont digitally sign this because you arent even supposed to be using themes to begin with ;)  why else would you need to hack the uxtheme.dll??

I thought I was confirming my realistic view when I said nothing will prolly happen. Element is an amazing theme that should be appreciated without a hack. Yea,Yea...I know......

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

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
