Someone said the startbutton was to plain. What about this? I like it. :)

Yeah, the light gleams look a lot better in that screenshot. This current selected Start Button nearly blinds my eyes :cool:

As for the beta itself, very nice. The black substyle's taskbar almost looks identical to the taskbar in, for instance, the Longhorn 5203 VS.

This is even better!

But the start button is great, taskbar, toolbar, everything is great! I just can't live with a theme with that progress bar bug... It must be fixable... there must be a way...

Tbh I don't really like the affect when you press down on the Start button on the Blue theme, nor do I feel that "White" is the best colour for the right hand side of the start menu.

I really like what you have done with the close/minimise buttons though, the switch effect. well done.

****ing amazing...

I think a thin taskbar version to be indispensable, tho... don't you think? =)

And, plz, remember the poor people who uses to have the taskbar on the top of the desktop! :D

I think this is great and you have done some brilliant work, the minimize /close buttons are amazing and I like their size as they are.

I did think maybe the taskbar could have been a little darker, maybe the colour of an active windows title bar so that the minimized windows sent to the taskbar stand out a little more.

I don't like the rectangular star buttons that were posted a few pages back but maybe the current button does need slight modding.

I'm really impressed with this version as I have with all previous ones.

I'm already in love with this. I do mourn the loss of the mist substyle, though, that looked awesome. I think the branding on the start button is a pretty cool idea, too. The start menu seems a bit bland after the previous Element incarnations, though. Can't wait for the final.

    • 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.
    • 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.
