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. :)

    • Microsoft explains why PowerToys 0.100.0 is faster and slimmer, there are new features too

      Sadly, that is the state of things. It's basically considered acceptable for any random app running on your computer to use 1+ GB of RAM, and install space, lol, no one even seems to consider that.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This has been on the roadmap for years, nothing really new here. This is one of the few areas where Microsoft is making Windows better. Universal print is a very good things and so far works as expected. The last step is ending the option for 3rd parties to add traditional custom drivers. It is somewhat of a hurdle, but it is for a long-term good. The downside is that printer manufactures are likely going to use this as an excuse to force users onto new printers. Considering this roadmap has been public for years, then printers sold during that time should be covered...but I'm sure they will have a different opinion.
