man, this is VERY awesome!!! I love the way the top-right buttons light up very much when I put the mouse on top of them.

and the progress bar is SO HOT!!!! amazing work! I can't complain about anything I guess! of course there are some bugs, and I'm not sure if we should report them or not. anyway, here it goes the first one.

the border of the "tick" when selecting a "row" with the tick, in GoogleDesktop2. there are probably other programs which will have this problem.

The is nothing I can do about that. It is the program that doesn't read the trasparancy.

Excellent theme.

Problems with Foobar buttons are gone... So it it possible to fix them. :p :D

I hope the start button will be reworked a little, it looks a bit common. But you said in the first post it's not done yet, so I really hope for something better.  :)

And a first problem.

all I can say is thank you for making the best theme ever better, I really do think Microsoft should come knocking on your door.

The key to designing a good theme is making it usable and not having the colours that after 20 minutes you get fed up with it, good theme is one you enjoy working with. But a great theme is one you love working with but when you are busy you don't notice is there.

Thank you.

Although this VS seems to be perfect for me, I have found a little bug in Photoshop CS2.

Good luck  :D

I tried to fix this but it seems I'm not able to. :( It's because of the new captionbutton style some stuff like this might get messed up. I tried other themes with similar buttons and the same problem occurs. :p

Great work!!!!, I notice only this

You are gonna have to live with that if you want the solid progressbar. :p :rolleyes:

Are you talking about the progress bar? I'm having the same problem.

About my previous post here: that white background near the buttons in Process Explorer shouldn't be there, that's what I was trying to say.

PM me and you'll get a new testbuild. I modded some values. It might be fixed.

About the white line. I added that so it's not a bug.

Thanks. I liked that modded startbutton you made. I'm thinking about maybe making something similar for the black version. :)

These are just so you can get an idea of what they look like em3, if you want me to remove the screens i will do so :)

No, you don't have to remove. It is good that people share their ideas of improvment. :yes: It is imo, that if people don't like something about a theme it is better they learn to mod it themselves. Everything shouldn't be handed out on silver trays. When they learn they might even get inspired to make there own themes and later release it as there own work. That is how I started with Luna Element. :) I'm not saying you should start making you own theme, but feel free to share your startbutton if people want it. As long as people mod it themselves I have no problem with it.

very nice theme.. got rid of the branding on the start button.. very anoying, other than that.. wicked theme :D

I only added the branding becuase I wanted people to update when I release the final version.

    • Microsoft: Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 finally stops trusting a critical system threat

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft: Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 finally stops trusting a critical system threat by Sayan Sen This week Microsoft released the Patch Tuesday updates for June 2026 with KB5094126 on Windows 11 25H2, 24H2, and KB5093998 on Windows 11 23H2. On Windows 10 22H2 it's under KB5094127. Alongside the announced release notes for the new builds, Microsoft has revealed another change that is coming to Windows with these new releases. It has been confirmed that custom folders are getting a significant change with the June 2026 updates as such folders or folder names defined by desktop.ini will no longer appear after this update is successfully installed. While you may inititally think this is a bug with the new release, Microsoft has stated that this is in fact "expected behaviour" in its new support article regarding this which Neowin spotted today while browsing. Essentially it's a security hardening measure such that custom folder presentations are treated as potentially unsafe whenever Windows is not sure about their origin and whether that desktop.ini folder can be trusted or not. Here is list of such untrusted files and folders: Files downloaded from the internet that carry Mark-of-the-Web (MOTW). Files copied from certain remote locations, such as some WebDAV or HTTP-based locations. Files on network paths that are not classified as intranet or trusted by zone policy. For those who may not be familiar, Desktop.ini is a special configuration file used by Windows to customize the appearance and behavior of individual folders. Basically Windows can read specific instructions stored in Desktop.ini instead of displaying every folder with the same default settings. This can be used to apply custom icons, thumbnail images, localized folder names, and such informational tooltips (infotip). The file can also influence certain folder-specific behaviors and properties. It is typically stored as a hidden system file within a folder that has been designated to support Desktop.ini customization. However, because Windows Shell automatically reads and applies these attributes whenever a customized folder is opened, they have historically (since the Windows XP days) presented an attack surface as a result of an unchecked buffer in the Shell component responsible for extracting custom attributes from Desktop.ini files. As such an attacker could create a specially crafted Desktop.ini containing a malicious or corrupted attributes and place it on a network share. So if a user were to browse that folder, Windows would automatically process the file, potentially triggering a buffer overflow. This could allow arbitrary code to run with the same permissions as the logged-in user. Hence a seemingly harmless folder could become a security risk when their contents are not properly validated. For admins and users alike looking to manage this behaviour, Microsoft has shared a few ways. One of them is to assign a trusted mark on the folder in case you are sure of its source. Secondly a policy can be used to revert back to the previous state. Finally, the MOTW can be removed too to indicate to Windows that this is a safe file. The company explains: Option 1: Add the source to Trusted Sites (Recommended) If the affected content is stored on a known internal or managed source, add that source to the Trusted Sites list. Once the source is treated as trusted, Windows processes desktop.ini from that source normally. This keeps the protection in place for other locations and is the lower-risk option. Option 2: Use policy to restore previous behavior Organizations that need broader compatibility can enable the policy Allow the use of remote paths in file shortcut icons.Enabling this policy restores the pre-June 2026 behavior for affected remote or untrusted scenarios. Option 3: Check for and remove the Mark of the Web (MotW) If the desktop.ini file has a Mark of the Web (MotW), Windows may treat it as coming from an untrusted source and block customization. Verify whether MotW is present and, if appropriate, remove it from the desktop.ini file. This can restore expected behavior, but should only be done for trusted content, as it removes the associated security protection. To remove the MotW tag, open PowerShell and run one of the following commands: For a single desktop.ini file: Unblock-File "C:\Your\Folder\Path\desktop.ini" For all desktop.ini files in a folder: Get-ChildItem "C:\Your\Folder\Path" -Recurse -Filter desktop.ini -Force | Unblock-File Microsoft has warned though against using a broad opt-out using the provided policy as it reduces protection against potentially malicious remote folder-customization content. As such the tech giant recommends trusting only controlled internal sources and keeping trust settings as strict as possible.

      By monterxz · Posted

      For some reason when EU forced Microsoft to allow users to change the default browser and search provider in Windows (also no ads for Office and the likes) - it was good. But when it comes to Apple - then it's bad. BTW, Apple would have gone out of business if Microsoft wasn't pressed by US government several decades ago. 😉
