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!" ;)

is there any version that has the smooth solid progress bar without that bug?

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......

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
