Hmm, I posted this in the Customize forum, but I believe here would be more appropriate since em3 browses this and could *wink*wink* help me out? (Plus I can't find the delete thread button)

I'm using stylebuilder and I got the progress bar on Luna Element to stretch. I only got part of the theme to do this. I don't know where to edit the top part of the picture above. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks!

em3, i ran into another problem, if u have the time could u please help? i applied the same exact method of converting the solid progressbar into the alt start button msstyle, but it doesnt compile for some reason, the progress bar doesnt even show up at all! it's the wierdest thing ever, i cant figure for the life of me what im doing wrong...could you please advise me on how to convert it? it really looks secksi, but i'd love to see it on the alt start...

I am totally having trouble installing this, sorry. I've been to 5 different sites trying to figure out how intall in correctly but have had no luck

I downloaded the file off of the deviantart page, installed it. Then I _think_ I correctly patched the uxtheme.dll file, but I dont see the option under Properties > Apperance > Windows & Buttons :(

Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Sorry guys and gals

Ok, first off, you are using Windows XP SP2 right?

I know a lot of places say to do this in safe mode but it's not necessary.

Turn on Show Hidden Files & disable Hide Protected Operating System Files in folder options

Make sure your XP CD is not in the CD drive

Do a search for all files name uxtheme.dl* << notice only 1 L and the star

Delete all of them except the one in C:\Windows\System32

Now open C:\Windows\System32 and rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.bak

Copy in an already fixed uxtheme file.

Click CANCEL on both of the File Protection messages.

Reboot.

You can get the fixed file here:

Follow this to the letter and it will work...unless of course your PC was installed from a network share...then just disconnect the network.

    • 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.
