using it at work right now and loving it. very usable, and professional looking. :D

but i personally loved the shorter caption buttons as opposed to the taller version in the final, i think the shorter version made it look sleeker.

other than that, looks awesome, thanx for sharing.

LOL first off, he's the dude that tought he was ALWAYS right, then i put him down dirty with a quick analysis of how badly wrong he was. Now he comes around saying this theme was taken from Alienware's theme? Man, do I have to put this guy down everytime he disses em3's work? I think im too lazy to right now, but im sorry, darkstar is #*&@$@! compared to LE4, uhh, just watch, page views, replies, and ranking will put fl@sh down so dirty he can't come up for air :D

I imagined he was one of the usual trollz who likes to appear when the occasion permits. :)

Great theme - clean and professional...

Using the black style

But I would prefer another startbutton, maybe like the rectangular one, somebody has posted in the WIP thread. And maybe a color-separated tray area.... :whistle:

[EDIT]

and maybe the taskbar could be a little bit smaller, so that the elements are centered on it...

...and the startbutton has too much glow in "pressed-mode"

[/EDIT]

Just my thoughts...

Thanks, most of you for your nice comments. :D Here are some replys.

Damn!  Awesome work, em3! (Y)(Y)(Y)

Can I have a link to the cursor you're using in the screenshot, please?  :D

Visit my deviantArt gallery. :)

Black styles still have blue taskbars when the taskbar is on the left or right hand side of the screen. But a fantastic style!

Yea, sorry about that. Didn't think anyone wound use the vertical taskbar. Anyway, I'll fix it in the next release. :)

my only one sugestion I prefer more old START button, exept this everything is superb

The old startbutton was to plain boring. The new one is better imo, because of the added light it doesn't look so flat.

Again EM3 I love your themes :) it almost attains perfection apart from one thing, I was wondering if you could possibly make some buttons for ultramon which is a multi monitor control application cause as you can see the extra buttons it adds look unsightly in LE4 they looked fine in LE3 due to the normal size of the buttons on the title bar.

Do you need like a skin or something. PM me with more details how to make them.

Nice work!!! What icons are you using?

As always, this theme ROCKS!!! I'm loving the black!!  :ninja:

But can I make a couple of suggestions? Can you add an alternate start button version, like you did with Luna 3? And in the black version, alter the scrollbar colors to grey, instead of the common light blue?

Anyway, thanks a lot! I'm sure thousands of people around the world will use this wonderful VS. And great work!!  :woot:

P.S.: By the way, what set of icons does anyone recommend to use with the black compact Luna Element 4?

586464392[/snapback]

No alternate startbutton. Read more here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...ost&p=586389273

As for the scrollbars I actually made them gray at first but then I changed my mind because I thought the light blue looked better.

umm.. so because im not #%@^ ing in my pants like the rest of you im a killjoy?

haha, ummNO.. im right.. and erm3 knows it. He KNOWS he used some ideas from alienware, and altho he will deny it of course, he still knows it.

All u have to do is check out Darkkstar by alienware to see the similarities. anyone that knows anything about themes and \ or graphics will notice.

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...093&hl=darkstar

i cant help it if most of you are blindingly unaware of other themes that came before this. Not my fault or problem.

586464415[/snapback]

Like I've said before I DO NOT use WB so I wouldn't know. I have not seen that skin before either. I got the tilted button idea from a Winamp skin (883 Bionica v2).

small problem......ive used reshack to customize my explorer.exe such that my start button instead to "start" says "RAWpower" but when i apply this VS the start button says "start" again....whys that ?

586464433[/snapback]

The explorer.exe startbutton overlay (text and flag) has been removed. That's why you don't see your custom text.

Nice job em3, the only thing that I didn't really like was that the compact titlebars seemed a bit small.

I will probably be using this for a while! (Y) :D

586464615[/snapback]

Imho it's great that the titlebars are so small.

Hopyfully they stay like this.

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
