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.

Not really, the most you try, the most em3 will get mad, and probably just leave the theme here because of people like you begging for things

I love the new skin, Royal, the new progress bar.. which is my favorite, and the new chnages like the buttons and so on..

1 request if possible, can we not have to use StyleXP or is there already an ALT to this? I do not have a license and though it is not asking for one now it is using memory badly somehow...

Thanks

You don't need StyleXP. Just download a patched uxtheme.dll and replace yours with it. Make sure to switch back to default XP theme and uninstall StyleXP first. You must do this because themes not made by MS aren't digitally signed.

That's the thing that bugs me about theme authors in general. "Want it a different way? DO IT YOURSELF! Can't do it yourself? FOAD!" is pretty much the meme. Oh well, I get to keep LE3.01 in it's infinite prettiness until... Half-Life 2 comes out, Apple switches to Intel, and Debian releases Sarge. :p

I'd just like to say what a great visual style this is, em3. However, I'm having a small problem I'm hoping someone can help me solve.

I like using the thinner taskbar and caption bars, but prefer to have a full-sized start menu, so I usually edit the styles using stylebuilder to make the start menu full-size. But when I edit this new version of Luna Element, save it, and compile it, then try to open it, it doesn't show up in the list of styles under XP's Display Properties.

Any ideas?

I don't know how to fix that. The slider values aren't different for normal size and compact size. I use the default Luna values.

Wouldn't that be the answer in and of itself? I mean if you're using the same values for the compact as you would the normal size, then maybe lowering the value of the compact would fix it? Or do you mean that separate values aren't possible?

Again, perfect theme, but is it me or there's a bug exist in the 3.1 series? Check the seperator lines in this screenshot, I think they don't look right :( a possible fix? I'm using the Normal Compact (Alt Start).

You are right. In the new version the darker line is to dark. I will look into it and see if I can fix it. :)

EDIT: Fixed.

Btw... if you want, you can check out my workstation in this thread:

Yea, it's an LG T910BU 19".

I'm a music producer also, that's why the big speakers. But I'm not that good. I mostly make lame remixes. :p I've made one good track though (not remix). I'm hoping for a release in the future when it's 100% ready.

    • 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.”

      I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable. 
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.
