^ Import the theme in stylebuilder v2. Then find find the image you want to change by clicking on the navigationlist on the far left (not the text list). Then click on the image and press change. Not to hard. :)

Hi, my first post here...

I’ve used Luna Element for 5 months now, and am very glad to see a new version here, but was dissappointed at the lack of the alt. start button, so i tried to mod it in myself (although i don’t have experience with StyleBuilder...)

I tried to manually edit the style in stylebuilder to add the couloured flag (alt. start button) from the jpg posted in this thread earlier...

I went into StyleBuilder and created a new color scheme based on the Default scheme...

Then I went to Photoshop and captured the 3 images of the alt. startbutton and saved as a PNG file...

Then I click Taskbar and clicked the Start Button image, and click ImageFile and choose and point to the image file... the image becomes corrupt...

So i changed the PNG to BMP and it appeared correctly, but I compile and apply, I get an error “There was an error applying the visual style” and it doesn’t work...

Can somebody please either post a PNG of the alt. start button and instructions on how to add it in a new thread or can you please em3 create a version with alt. start button...

thanks, btw this theme is the best ever... (i just miss the alt. start button)

OK, here?s what i?ve tried, I created a new color scheme based on the Default scheme, didn?t change anything and compiled to .msstyles

Then I opened it in ResHacker, and changed the start menu image of the new color scheme to the alt. start button.

It worked, but I got this appearance, then I imported the .msstyle into StyleBuilder and was unable to fix it... Can somebody please help...

I'll have an update out before the end of the week with:

* Corrected vertical taskbars

* New taskbar scrollers

* Fixed a bug on startmenu (would be visible if you make the right side compact)

* Compact startmenu option for ALL styles (in fontlist)

* Smaller scrollbars by default for compact styles

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      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 Jawad96 · Posted

      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.
