Okay, I made a couple more updates that I'll soon email to those who requested the theme. Please report any bugs on this thread so that I may address them.

*On the side, would anyone be interested in a Black LE with lil parts that would glow that neon blue that's used in LE5? Like say have the hover effects glow blue on the taskbar, programs list, tabs? This was just in my mind I don't know if it would interest anyone though.

@ArChAn9eL: Is it possible that you do a thin taskbar with compact start menu? Screen real estate is really precious to me as I'm on a 14" notebook. The old school smooth progress bar is a sweet add-on also :)

If someone could teach me how to make a compact menu that would be great, because as of now, I have nooooooo clue. As for making the thin task, I'm sure I can work something up :p

Open the theme up in resedit.

Then change the contentmargins from the places pane in the ini files.

For compact startpanel that is :p

To what values exactly? Or is that all I need to know? Well I'm way too tired to try right now being 1 in the morning and having class tomorrow. I'm passing out! Nights!

If you use your icons at 32x32 then you could set it to DefaultPaneSize = 0, 0, 58, 0

So bassicly it depends on how big your icons are.

the black mod is great so far. I miss the thin taskbar and titlebar, but it's your mod so i won't complain (i never complain anyway :p)

good job.

Don't worry I just finished the compact black. Enjoy it to your hearts content Mr. I Don't Complain :D Hope you are on my email list....

* OHH YEAH! I forgot to mention thanks to Capric0rn who gave me the values for the compact menu!

No problem :)

I forgot to mention that you have to change the values from the Userpanel and the Logoffpanel as wel.

You do? I don't see a difference though...but okay I'll adjust the values :D

*EDIT actually the values that you gave me don't match the original LE3's at all...I just left them as is, it's still compact so I don't see a reason to edit these values O.O

Well to those who didn't get my email, here's what I'm planning...

Okay, I'm going to be MIA for a while I go on a modding craze on this black theme. I plan to collaborate with a fellow Neowin member on making this a sick complete theme...as it isn't already (sarcasm). But yeah, here's the plan:

+ Add some other glow to the theme instead of just black and white

+ Implement more secksi radio, check boxes, those scrolly things

+ Fix up the startmenu's program list using Bant's techinque

+ I guess some other stuff that may come along the way

Welp just some FYI, ArChAn9eL OUT!

    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
