The taskbar is finished. What I might make changes to is the buttons in the toolbar, mouseover and stuff like that.

@Everyone:

I'm also thinking about making the black style have gray background like Royale instead of the creamy as people call it. What does everyone think of that?

I don't understand.

What is creamy/gray? What background are you talking about?

Ohhh - please NOOOOO!!! This color combination looks already perfect - please dont change it!

Another question: In the black style the taskbar buttons looks like they have a different margin at the top and the bottom!??! So it looks they are not vertically centered on the taskbar?!? Does anyone noticed this too??

For comparison: At KoL?s 5203 Longhorn theme the buttons looks centered...

And is there a chance to remove the 2 pixel height space above the window caption bar, you will get, when you take a screenshot from a whole window...somebody mentioned that already in this thread..

Surely, Mick. I forgot to mention you in my previous post. :o

You have my apologies... I've just dropped a line on the upper part of my page mentioning your name. Sorry.

I appreciate the mention, I'm glad I could help you out. :cool:

@Archangel,

Anyway you can "gloss up" your colored alt.start button? While it looks great, it seems a tad flat looking compared to the cylindrical shading of the task bar. Just a small request if you're in a giving mood one day. :)

i sure will do it! im a perfectionist, that was really nagging me for a while having a 2d image over a 3d one :p but right now im busy working on a website for my dance team :D so i'll be a lil busy until the release tomorrow, until then hold yerr horses

^ Ok, the theme is finished as it is now then I guess.

Although the LE4 is absolutely GREAT, I am so looking forward to your next project. From what I saw I think many more will be blown away by it. CAN WAIT!!!

Oh man, snooze and lose. I would have put my vote in for the grey window treatment. I was just updating a machine this weekend that's running Microsoft's Royale theme. I was thinking that the grey/blue hue of the windows and widgets would compliment the black/blue of the LE4 caption and task bars.

Oh well. You won't hear any complaints from me. LE4's tight.

Please, no. "Creamy" background is one of the foundations of Luna. Without it the reason for calling your style "Luna Element" will be lost in some way. Please, don`t do it. :)

Wow, I seem to be in the minority on this one. Don't get me wrong. LE4 is rad, just as it is. I just don't think em3's suggestion would be a bad one - for the black style. Check it out:post-126370-1126049819_thumb.jpg

    • 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!
