(ehm... griffith :D :p )

Black version is coming tomorrow afternoon. ;)

And the link works to me... dunno why not to you :unsure:

@ Freedom77: Excellent idea. I'll try and decide (maybe I will release both versions).

@ Midnight Mick: I don't know why but everytime I try to register to DA, it says I'm banned. I've never registered there before, maube it says so because I'm behind a NAT (my ISP, Fastweb, provides only this type of connection).

^ Oh, sorry. I read wrong. I though I read that he wanted me to make it. Go ahead wratho, make the theme. You have my permission.

Tested and: shellstyle fits badly in white; same for a (soft) grey scale I tried.

I'm going to stick with the original gradient and start to work on the black version.

Youve got to keep the title bar size at 26. When you change font face or size this value usually changes, so before you click OK set it back to 26.

Thanks a lot!

got it working :)

Thank you em3 for the excellent vs. (Y)

Here is my little *personal* mod I did.. if em3 will consider it necessary, I'm sure he'll include this himself.

I think userpic should be removed from compact version as well.

This is realy nothing special, just desaturation of 'golden' elements and some background added to startmenu. :)

They both have appeal in different areas. Some prefer the olf LE3 start menu, while others like the Vista look of LE4. LE4 also lacks a soft shaded variant of LE3. That doesn't mean LE4 isn't complete, just different. I can see myself floating between the two for a longtime. All other VSs tend to get cheezy and old over time and em3's work hasn't.

I dunno what to think of it...its beautiful :p

The one thing that i liked better in LE3 is the start menu colors, i don't really like how its white where the frequently used programs are and i loved the old highlighted menu item color as well. Its still an awesome improvement though. Nice work em3, you could teach microsoft a thing or two :)

    • 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.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
