Thanks Vector.  Those start buttons are tight.  They compliment the caption bar buttons AND the solid progress bars.

Hmmm

tbh I really don't think this style is the second coming like others proclaim. The caption buttons are quite nice...but thats where the improvments, imo, stop from 3.

The start menu is a monumental step back from LE3, even the 'compact' version attempts the takeover on your screen. And its not just big, the colours on it are inferior as well. The taskbae i'm not the largest fan of either, old style was better, again imo.

Not trying to down on your work, but after 380246802pages of hype, and whatever page this lands on here, I expected something a lil better (and I guess different). But its still a very nice style (like the mouseovers in the all programs menu)

The great theme about LE4 is that it's more polished and it gives a lot of potential for personal mods so you can make it look amazingly good. Everything looks just right (XP like but not too much Vista like either). A perfect blend.

With some personal modding I have an incredibly nice style to go between back and forth.

If you have the taskbar at the top of the screen.

@Boz: Please share the blue horizontal shellstyle I see in your screenshot. I like it a lot. :o

@Mad_Griffith: You have my permission if you want to post your shellstyle.

      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.
