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

anyone mind pointing to me how I can mod this into LE4?

it's really nice.

:D to em3, really nice style. love it lots. haha. can't wait till my friends see my desktop again. haha.

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.

It's a shellstyle, you know like the task bar on the side in explorer...

(I have my icons a bit messed up, do not look at it)

@ boz: please, release your shellstyle! :)

original, always own mock ups (mine) :D i was wondering, why do you always leave a 1 pixel space on the bottom of the button? i understand the top part...

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.

    • I think they still believe it but are realizing that those statements created massive backlash and impacted adoption. I personally think AI, if used regularly will give you back about 30% of your time if you are an “information” worker.
    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
