I think that if people think that the progressbar should be altogether, they should tell their opinion. the more we try, more chances we have of having it.

Not really, the most you try, the most em3 will get mad, and probably just leave the theme here because of people like you begging for things

I love the new skin, Royal, the new progress bar.. which is my favorite, and the new chnages like the buttons and so on..

1 request if possible, can we not have to use StyleXP or is there already an ALT to this? I do not have a license and though it is not asking for one now it is using memory badly somehow...

Thanks

You don't need StyleXP. Just download a patched uxtheme.dll and replace yours with it. Make sure to switch back to default XP theme and uninstall StyleXP first. You must do this because themes not made by MS aren't digitally signed.

That's the thing that bugs me about theme authors in general. "Want it a different way? DO IT YOURSELF! Can't do it yourself? FOAD!" is pretty much the meme. Oh well, I get to keep LE3.01 in it's infinite prettiness until... Half-Life 2 comes out, Apple switches to Intel, and Debian releases Sarge. :p

I'd just like to say what a great visual style this is, em3. However, I'm having a small problem I'm hoping someone can help me solve.

I like using the thinner taskbar and caption bars, but prefer to have a full-sized start menu, so I usually edit the styles using stylebuilder to make the start menu full-size. But when I edit this new version of Luna Element, save it, and compile it, then try to open it, it doesn't show up in the list of styles under XP's Display Properties.

Any ideas?

I don't know how to fix that. The slider values aren't different for normal size and compact size. I use the default Luna values.

Wouldn't that be the answer in and of itself? I mean if you're using the same values for the compact as you would the normal size, then maybe lowering the value of the compact would fix it? Or do you mean that separate values aren't possible?

Again, perfect theme, but is it me or there's a bug exist in the 3.1 series? Check the seperator lines in this screenshot, I think they don't look right :( a possible fix? I'm using the Normal Compact (Alt Start).

You are right. In the new version the darker line is to dark. I will look into it and see if I can fix it. :)

EDIT: Fixed.

Btw... if you want, you can check out my workstation in this thread:

Yea, it's an LG T910BU 19".

I'm a music producer also, that's why the big speakers. But I'm not that good. I mostly make lame remixes. :p I've made one good track though (not remix). I'm hoping for a release in the future when it's 100% ready.

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.

      By _neutrino · Posted

      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 TarasBuria · Posted

      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.
