[Released] 'Luna Element 3' Shellstyles


Recommended Posts

Someone pointed this out in em3's new shellstyle and it appears your shellstyles have it as well. Can this be re-colored? TIA :)

I'lll have a look into it but I have a feeling that part isn't in shellstyle.dll but in another dll that is part of windows\srchasst. With the ammount of coding in them dll's you could easily muck up or even loose the search companion which I doubt people will want.

Okay, Thanks for the insight. :)

It's for sure not in windows\srchasst.

I've tried other VS's right now to make sure it isn't and they skin "correctly" the search window. So it's either in the shellstyle.dll or in the actual visual style.

My bet would be the shellstyle.dll.

Well the "Search companion" colours are not in shellstyle.dll.

I just simply tried another theme that had the search adjusted, took that shellstyle & swapped it in place of one of mine in Luna Element 3 & the old search came back.

It's the Theme, not my shellstyle's, so it's outa my hands, sorry guys...

How do I use a shell style?

It's definately not rocket science and it's explained in detail in the readme in the download. But if you're too lazy to RTFM here's an excerpt:

How to use

"Element Classic Shellstyle"

Place the "Shellstyle.dll" into the following directory - C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Element\Shell\Classic.

When asked to overwrite file press "Yes".

"Element Normal Shellstyle"

Place the "Shellstyle.dll" into the following directory - C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Element\Shell\NormalColor.

When asked to overwrite file press "Yes".

"Element Royal Shellstyle"

Place the "Shellstyle.dll" into the following directory - C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Element\Shell\Royal.

When asked to overwrite file press "Yes".

"Royal Square Shellstyle"

If you like this version then I feel it's best suited in the same directory as the one above ("Element Royal?  Shellstyle").

How do I use a shell style?

Apart from the above post It should also be noted that you must change to a different theme before you try to chnge shellstles or XP will complain that they are already in use.

Excuse me for not realizing there was a readme with the download. But thanks for at least telling me how to do it.

Hey Mick, would you be willing to whip up some alternative shellstyles for the newly released LE4 Beta? Thanks in advance! :)

Tbh the Beta of LE4 doesn't reallydo much for me. I may change my mind when the final version comes out.

At the moment I'm sticking with LE3 though.

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
