Em3 loving the new style, I was wondering if you'd take any suggestions for the theme?

In the taskbar the notification area, when the area is closed the menu would be on level with the rest of the taskbar but when the menu is opened it would be pressed down. Here's a pic if you don't know what I mean:

Just a suggestion

The older versions of element were great, but I do have 2 small complaints about the new one. First, go back to the start button from version 3 or some form of it, that simple gradient is kind of ugly. I think the systray looks a little big, maybe that's just me.

Otherwise, love the new caption buttons, and the shutdown/log off buttons look good as well. Looking forward to this release.

I like the way this is going with the new caption buttons and taskbar! Two things I don't like however are the start button, and the way the sliders look - they're a bit too shiny or glossy for my liking.

By the way, I don't know if this has been asked before since I didn't read the entire LE3 thread, but have you ever considered making other colors? The current colour really is the only thing keeping me from using this style over extended periods of time.

@shlomi245: The hotspots for the caption buttons cover the entire height of the captionbar, hitting the right button will be as easy as before. :D

@TheTerminator: I might consider redesigning the tray area, not sure yet. :rolleyes:

@daydream nation: There will be a black version included in the release also. :)

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
