[WIP] Luna Element 4

[Dazzla Veteran]

Really hard? That is a good start button! I've been using the black style for a few days now, hunting for bugs and it's a surprisingly clean and usable theme. One of the very few black themes that work.

Very nice love the start button!

I couldn't agree more! This start button is amazing! Very very beautiful!

This theme will blow people's minds for quite some time until Vista is released. I don't think we need more themes after this (I mean that we don't need other people's, but of course we could use more of em3's work in the future :))

Thanks Dazzla, welcome back. :D Haven't seen you for a while.

Yeah, I agree, haven't seen him in a while.

Good to have you in em3's topics Dazzla, very good :)

Now this is intentional I imagine, but any chance of some sort of subtle mouseover for the tray arrow?

[em3]

^ Maybe, I'll try it out.

This theme should win the title of "Best theme of 2005" of course unless LE5 comes out. :p

What do you mean? There is some kind of design awards here at Neowin?

Any news about the progress bar problem, em3?

[em3]

^ Yea. It can't be fixed without destroying the Vista look. So I desided to keep the Vista look and ignore the bugs.

[P!P]

I have a question, if on September 12, Microsoft releases an entirely new Vista look. Will you release a new verison of LE/VE? :)

[Dazzla Veteran]

Another thing, any chance of mousedowns on the vertical and horizontal trackbars?

I know I'm being a bit picky, but this has the potential to be one of the best themes ever released for XP. Stylish, usable, bug free.

[em3]

^ I don't know. I want to get this released as soon as possible. Imo it's a big deal that it looks the same as the hover image. But I'll do my best to come up with something.

I'd rather have a theme without bugs, even if this means making it a bit less beautiful. I agree with Dazzla, I want to have a bug free theme.

[em3]

If you want me to make the progressbar bug free the only thing that would be acceptable to me is blockstyle.

[hulkachopblocker]

^ I did'nt even know it was a bug. I thought wow thats pretty kool how you can see it a little.

Can you make the progress bar spell " I LOVE ALIZEE " when a download is completed?? :laugh:

My opinion: the smooth progressbars are better, even though there's the bug of having a small part of it show.

One thing I wondered for a long time: in the default XP Luna VS, it is possible to have BOTH types of progress bars - smooth and sectioned. It's up to the programmers to decide which style to use.

I haven't seen a VS so far that uses both styles. Well if LE4 could implement this, then great. :yes:

Oh and thanks for correcting that toolbar separator bug. :cool:

[ArChAn9eL]

what were the bugs, ever since i used the solid progress bars for le3 and le4 i never ran into a bug with the progress bar...

[em3]

^ Well. You can have both. But then you have to hack the theme after it's compiled. I don't like that. This is one of those things I whish they would update in Stylebuilder, but they havn't updated for years. :p

[jimbo11883]

A quick way would be to use Fills instead of an image for the PB. My whistler theme uses blocks in some apps, and other apps that draw their own version (FireFox) make them solid.

[Daninku]

Nevermind ... :whistle:

Nice VS, but please try to remove as much bugs as you can, since it wouldn't be a complete VS!!

[JustGeorge]

After this is finished, you should consider doing a WindowBlind skin complete with all the LE styles up to this point. Your prolly capable of alot more than what the limited msstyles engine can let you show.

Any chance of the color change in the start menu I suggested a few pages back?

Well, I came up with an alternative. Let's see what you and other people think. I like it.

I modified some values, and now the progress bar goes solid in programs where it's needed (like BitTorrent ^_^), and it goes blockstyle in some random ones (IE stays blockstyle, but in Firefox it's solid, so I don't know what's the rule). What matters is that it gets beautiful every way, and then the bug is gone. What do you people think?
