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.

    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
