^ I would like to have these buttons too. The start menu looks weird on my french windows.

Btw this is by far the best theme ever!! Awesome work em3!

I would like to update my logoff/shutdown dialogs but I am really busy these days... So it might takes some times before I release a final version of the dialogs.

What's the deal on Mist again, em3?  You're going to release that different from LE4 right?

Yeah, I'm also interested in this Mist project, give us some predictions em3!

I'm glad it will be a different VS. So I'll have more theme choices besides Royale and LE4 :)

If there is anyway you could help me to get my Startmenu like it was in LE3, with just icons (no text) in the compact version of the skin I would much appreciate it.

If need be, I can mod my files, just tll me what & where.

thx. :)

I know but all of my progress bar were block syle... and I prefer the full one.

This hybrid progress bar isn't used much. In fact, for recent VSes Luna Element 4 is one of the few, besides the default Luna, that takes advantage of it.

I can name two examples where block style progress bars are problematic:

- In Opera 8, the text painted over the progress bars is hard to read if the progress bar style is block style.

- Some programs show precise values in scroll bars. Using block style for progress bars isn't such a good idea.

For smooth style progress bars:

- When the value of the progress bar is 0, a small amount of the 'filled' up part of the progress bar sticks out, even though the value of the progress bar is 0.

Since it is up to the application developers to decide what style they want to use, a hybrid progress bar is ideal. You get this in Luna Element 4.

But for those who still insist on smooth style progress bars (I'd admit that the 'bug' for the smooth style progress bar is far from annoying) just ask someone to mod it. Luna Element 4 won't be like earlier versions with nearly 9 substyles. :wacko:

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • 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.
