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!

    • 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.
