I will post final in maybe 2 days. The only things left are the scrollbars for the black style and then the compact styles which I don't think will take to long.

Thanks for the update. The Beta is great and I can't wait for the final release. Anxiously awaits the compact / thin substyle.

The theme looks very nice, but will you be including a classic version? as in without the line through the taskbar. That's the best part I liked the luna element themes.

I too wished there would be a classic version without the line. I know em3 doesn't want to do a million substyles to accommodate everyone's tastes, but I still would love to see a classic version especially of the black style which isn't in the other Luna Elements.

I think little bigger buttons looks nicer and are easier to navigate.post-68758-1125281062.jpg

I support the larger titlebar buttons too, for all the reasons already stated by others.

I'll also second a lesser glow effect on the titlebar buttons and on the blue style's start button. It's just a "little" strong. :p

Also, are there any plans to add a glow effect to the start button on the black style? If so, please keep it simpler than the blue style's glow. The glow on the blue style is just too much. In my opinion, the black style has a more refined look to it, and should maintain that look.

About the explorer toolbars: now I noticed this:

Thanks, didn't see that, never use IE. But it's fixed now. :D

What programs do you guys use to modify the theme, like add a different start button etc?  I have PS CS2 to edit but what do you use to access the resources in the VS?

Stylebuilder or Resource Hacker. :)

Yea, larger captionbuttons might be cool but then those people who use the compact style would have to use the really small square buttons, since the normal size get to big for the caption. :p

Here is the black startbutton. This will have to do because it's really hard to make a good startbutton.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
