Luna Element 3

[Zapster]

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. :)

Too many complaints usually results in creators getting tired and they lose interest in the project. Lets not do that to mr. em3 :) He knows what people think and its noted.

There's not many "thumbs up" for the new progress bar is there?!

Not that I know but is it possible for the theme to use the new progress bar if using the Royal theme & the previous version for the default theme?

My reply wasn't a complaint, it was a question. :)

It is possible but not a good idea in my opinion. :no:

Here-Here...Well said :)

This means I have to remake LE from scratch :p Oh well, I'll take care of it as soon as I have some time. Send me PM's if people experiencing this issue want to try production betas, just to insure nothing goes wrong.

I just tried the test skin and to my surprise...no more Java bugs!! Thanks em3 for fixing this, as well as those who helped along the way. :)

Fair enough, thanks for the reply though. :)

Glad to see the test skin is working with Java. Good luck making the necessary changes to fix it in the official release!

About the new progress bar... at first I thought it was odd, but now I'm liking it. There was something about it like it was too bright or too blocky when the rest of the style was smooth, but now I find myself watching it way more than I have watched any other skin's progress bar. That's got to mean something doesn't it?

Glad that you are working on the black version, and i would be interested on betatest your Styles, no problemo for me :), my black mod looks greattt, but theres some things i need to change and make it pixel-perfect... but hell it dosent annoy me so :p

[em3]

Here is an other java issue test. Please test to see if it works. :)

Btw. I think I will bring back the oldstyle captionbar in the next release. Hopefully that will make people who still use LE2 to switch to LE3. It's hard to please everyone but I'm trying my best. :)

he addressed this issue earlier...he said that's the only language it will be in, the reason for this is because it may cause the layout of the button to be adversely altered if it was displayed in another language other than english...

Ok. so what the hell is supossed I should do now; get stuck in LE2?

Please, help me, Im too bored to fix it myself.

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

opera and bit torrent will luck fugly from now on... :(

Yeah, it means you must be blind in one eye, and have trouble seeing out of the other. Or maybe you have been permanently hypnotized by the blocky choppy action of it.

In any case, the only option anyone has is to get use to it, or use an older version (like I am). It's em's baby, and he says it's not gonna be changed cause he likes it. Sure glad I saved the older versions..

[gahbmwM5]

em3,

Ok, although you now have to 'start fresh' with designing another LE3.xxx VS, I can happily report that your 'second test file' also properly shows the Java Control Panel buttons skinned...

As with any fine work(s), your original LunaElement up to LunaElement3.05 has generated a lot of views and interest by users, and of course with this vast exposure will come both negative and positive comments...

You have learned to handle your replies with dignity and tact, and that is to be admired...:) As looking/staring at another version of LE (I'm sure) could cause one to think, "Man I'm tired of this"...lol

Please keep up your high enthusiasm of your talented skinning skills..

:yes:

[TheWahbinator]

I noticed the balloons in the test file, they need some work since there isn't much of a difference between when they're hovered on and when they're not

[em3]

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

The new progressbar actually have all the same properties a lot of other stuff in the theme has. It has a dark border, then there is the gradient background with a light inside border. The same as the caption buttons, regular buttons, start button, scrollers, etc. :)

English is an international language. I'm swedish myself but I don't mind english at all. Do you get this upset when you download applications in english to?

opera and bit torrent will luck fugly from now on... :(

586026820[/snapback]

Ok, why do you use Opera? It isn't free and if you don't register or pay you get an ad banner. :p Firefox is the way to go dude. :)

Bit Torrent is illegal, if you use it to download movies and stuff that is, which is what most people do.

I use Opera, too, and I'm quite satisfied. It has the best rendering engine, believe me ;)

*!* i have an idea! what if u kept all those aspects of the new progress bar but apply it to the old progressbar? so that instead of the broken up pieces, of the old progress bar it can be 1 long piece of all those things combined, that makes it easier to read text behind and please the asthetic beauty that it now has... :whistle:

Like this?

This would indroduce the bug that make the progressbar go to far or to short in some cases though.
