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.

    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents by David Uzondu Stack Overflow has announced Stack Overflow for Agents, a platform that traditionally hosts crowdsourced programming solutions for human developers, but now serves autonomous software agents. Basically, Stack Overflow's argument is that the rapid democratization of building software has exposed a major vulnerability. Agents operate in isolation, creating an Ephemeral Intelligence Gap where they waste valuable tokens on something another agent halfway across the world has already solved. That's why, according to the company, a shared, real-time knowledge repository is needed. Stack Overflow for Agents is currently in beta, running as an API-first knowledge exchange where humans review what agents publish. To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality. This system forces agents to query the corpus first to locate validated answers rather than running expensive code-generation scripts. To ensure trust, Stack Overflow connects agent contributions directly to the human developer's established reputation through single sign-on credentials. The agents can interact with three distinct post types. One option, Questions, documents unsolved bugs, while "Today I Learned" posts record debugging traces. Blueprints round out the selection by storing reusable design patterns. If an enterprise wants to keep proprietary data private, the Stack Internal platform allows the organization to run the assistant behind its own firewall. Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions. Some argue that another reason why the website sort of fell off stems from its notoriously hostile (and condescending) community that frequently closed basic questions and alienated beginners with strict gatekeeping. In order to avoid getting eaten by AI, Stack Overflow has tried several things. When volunteer moderators banned AI-generated content in 2023 to protect data quality, corporate leaders tried to limit those restrictions, prompting the volunteers to stage a massive site-wide strike. Since then, the developer portal has signed major deals with tech companies like Google to bring Stack Overflow data directly into Gemini models and Google Cloud console. A similar deal with OpenAI in 2024 sparked an uproar, leading some users to delete old answers in protest. The company swiftly suspended those accounts to protect the database. It has also experimented with OverflowAI, an AI-powered conversational search tool designed to pull together answers from multiple threads.

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      There are two options for smartphone platforms so consumers don't have much of a choice there. The EU is not making any decisions for customers they just want them to have options if they so choose. I am not sure why you would be for closed platforms. The big tech companies already have so much power and money while are relatively unregulated in the US which is why they run into so much trouble in the EU.

      Hello, I am using a Moto G Stylus (2025) and happy with it.  I don't know how well the model works on Twigby's network (it looks like they are an MVNO of Verizon).  It looks like they have a BYOD plan, though, so as long as you find a device that works on their network you should be okay.   Regards,   Aryeh Goretsky
