@em3

have you ever thought about having the borders of the windows more like Vista?

also their is a big bug in LE4, the caption buttons are too much to the top of the window bar, yet the whole bar underneath when hovered highlights the button above, i think it would be cool if the buttons where centralised and the link area reduced to the same size as the buttons.

If I understand you correctly, then that is not a bug. The graphics for the titlebar buttons need to be that size so it can achieve the "glow effect" that appears to spread to other parts of the titlebar. This is a limitation inherent to MS visual styles. AFAIK, Windowblinds 5 is not affected by this as it uses a different method of skinning the OS.

yeah I was thinking about reluna's color for that part... but I remember it as gray, not as blue...

I've made this request before and respect em3's desire to retain the beige color, if he indeed still holds that position. However, I do a lot of graphic work in Windows and need a more neutral color for my application widgets so that it doesn't skew what I see while using say, Photoshop.

I took a stab at altering LE3 and LE4 so that they have gray toolbars. I really like the results, but I've not had time to do a complete job. If LE5 still has the beige treatment and if it's indeed em3's last theme for XP, then I might invest the time in the mod. For my use alone, of course.

Does anyone else get a bug in the progress bar with the current version of this theme? If a downlaod window has a window overlapping it (over it), the progress bar will go to 100%, but if you move the overlapping window, and click the download window to bring focus to it, the progressbar goes back to its right position.

then why are you telling us? :p

If em3 doesn't do the job himself, I'll stay with beige (though).

how can that be called LE5 then? just LE4 with fancys bits... :unsure:

Well that picture is from page 95 which was from a couple weeks ago, he's been making a lot of progress, since then. em3 I believe also said he had done various mockups of alot areas he wanted to change that he hasn't implemented yet.

I would assume at this point, he's in the process of applying those mockups to the actual theme, he's a busy guy though, so give him time, he'll give us an update when he's ready. The 5.0 name will be worthy of this update, dont worry. Be patient! :)

:laugh:

But you know we'll all still be here whenever you get around to releasing the piece.

[do you think that people will stop asking when it's coming out? no? me neither.]

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.

      Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon by Taras Buria Files, one of the best third-party file managers for Windows 11 out there, has received a minor update to version 4.1.3. The latest release brings a few quality-of-life improvements and new features, including an easier way to calculate folder sizes, improved tags, a new OneDrive icon, and more. Starting with folder size, File now has a dedicated "View size" button for each folder if you have the "Calculate folder sizes" option turned off in settings. This improves performance and allows you to see each folder's size only when needed. Note that folder size calculation could take some time depending on the number of files and their "weight." Next, Files can now retain file selection when switching layouts. While this change is rather minor, it lets you keep selected objects highlighted whenever you need to switch, say, from a list to a thumbnail layout. If you use tags, you will be glad to know that Files 4.1.3 makes it easier to remove all tags. You can do that with one of the following methods: From the context menu — right-click an item, open the Tags submenu, and choose Remove tags. From the toolbar — when the Edit Tags button is pinned to the toolbar, the same option appears in its menu. From the Command Palette — open the Command Palette and search for Remove tags. You can also assign your own keyboard shortcut to it from Settings. The final visible change is the new OneDrive icon. Files now pulls the icon directly from the OneDrive executable, which means the app always has the up-to-date version. As for the fixes, developers resolved the following bugs: Fixed an issue with extracting tar archives. Fixed an issue where the Signatures page would occasionally cause a crash. Fixed an issue where the Play action wasn’t available when a single media file was selected. Fixed an issue where Smart Extract would extract archives to the wrong location when switching tabs. Fixed an issue where tag search excluded folders when grouping by type. Fixed an issue where thumbnails would sometimes fail to refresh after a file was modified. Fixed an issue where a BitLocker-locked drive wasn’t displayed. Developers also revealed what is coming in future updates. Soon, Files Preview will get a new Tree View sidebar, allowing you to display folders in an expandable hierarchy, which is a popular way to browse deeply nested folders. Expect the feature to arrive in the preview channel in upcoming updates. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
