I think I will add it back. It is pretty easy to remove it if you don't want it. Just remove the welcome screen in user accounts on the control panel.

And also. I started working a little bit on the black version. After using it a while it got pretty depressing though :p

Black is kind of a depressing color, but if you want to be the hippest guy in the screenshot thread black is the way to go ;)

Or if you're a goth kiddie you'd love black as well..

Personally I would try out black for a while (as it is nice with different colour schemes for variation) but I would not stick with it ;)

Bring back the old PROGRESS BAR!

and no i don't think the userimage is that important.  :whistle:

The new progress bar really detracts from the smoothness this vs once had. It now looks like the progress bar on thousands of other vs's. Pretty common, and not very "smooth". This is still a nice vs if you stick with version 2.5x. JMO

yeah em3, i've been 110% supportive of the quality of this theme up until the new progress bar which is sort of distracting now because when i run opera, the text on top of the progress bar makes it all jumbled and not as aesthetically pleasing anymore...i can live with it, not that major either but this is IMO as well...

i was wondering, is there anyone out there without this "java" issue? if so, speak now, this could be like a pin point problem only affecting certain users...so if u dont experience the problem, are you running win pro or home, or any other?

I have the problem. Windows XP Pro, Java 1.5.0. When I launch most Java2 apps, I get a crash and an error pointing to not being able to get information on the progress bar size. If you can fix it, cool. If not, I understand.

I love Luna Element.

Another vote here for the old progress bar. It's more accurate and aesthetically pleasing than this new one. And if you made a black version of this VS, I would probably never, ever, ever, in a gazillion years change my VS (as long as I have XP :D ). This VS is the only one that I have been satisfied with for more than a few weeks. The others just got boring after a few days and I never got to changing them.

Stop giving me crap for the new progressbar people. :( Many of you where complaining about the old one to when I introduced it. When I first posted the screenshot of the new one everyone was impressed and thought it looked good. I like it myself and I'm not changing back because imo the old one sucks.

I appreciate everyones oppinion and comments about everything regarding the theme, but I am the designer here. :)

Hey em3,

Well by george...as you know per our PM discussions, I could not get the Java Control Panel buttons to properly show up with LE2 or LE3...even the latest version 3.05...As I too just formatted my system (WinXP SP2 yesterday), and tried every combination of Java-Sun with a combination of various 'uxtheme.dll patches...no success

But I just D/L the 'Luna.msstyle test' and to my pleasent surprise the Java Control Panel Buttons now display properly...:) Thanks again for your dedicated, hard work on a very pleasing VS...

:cool: ;)

I liked the new progress bar, it looks very good here in Firefox, and many other stuff.

Unfortunately, my BitTorrent stays ugly with this new progress bar, as there is written text above it, and in the previous bar it stayed excellent. I always loved the old bar, and I didn't ask you to change it to a new one, just fix the old bug, that used to be fixed in LunaElement2

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
    • Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
    • Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more by Taras Buria The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing mandatory patches to users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program for Windows 10. Microsoft is rolling out KB5094127, with build numbers 19045.7417 and 19044.7417. Changelog includes the following: [File Explorer] This update improves File Explorer search, including support for Chinese text, and UTF 8–encoded files without a byte order mark (BOM). Text now displays more clearly and consistently across search results, Content view, and tooltips. [Secure Boot] This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in Windows Security App. This update adds a new policy setting, LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When this setting is enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is also included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services. With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. As for known bugs, Microsoft has the following to say: A workaround is available in the official documentation. Today's updates are available for PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Updates program only. If your PC is eligible, you can download the update from Settings > Windows Update or from the Microsoft Update Catalog here.
