@em3 since your changing the icon in the start menu to the vista one, maybe you should incorporate some more of the vista features into the next release.

such as the new toolbar setup, minus the file, edit bit, and just having the address bar and back and forward buttons,

and also making "Segoe UI" the default font, if changed manually it causes all the buttons for close and minimize to go all weird as it chnages the bar size.

Replys:

Imo all Vista features aren't good, at least not for XP. I'm trying to remake the windows completly for the black style. It's still a very early though, and I haven't got any idea what it should look like, so this might take a while.

Segoe UI is nice, but not for small font sizes imo.

Logon was removed. Will design a new one.

I've stated working on a Winamp 5 modern skin. No images to show yet, I want to complete more parts in the design first. I'm keeping it as classic as possible with a modern look. I will need help with the coding once the design it is done.

Well since KoL's is a clone off a Vista style interface, then i imagine he is using Segoe UI

but so what its Microsoft's new font, and its slick. em3 and anybody else is entitled to use it cause its a MS product not a personal item of KoL's

What's next?

I hope your not thinking of having Menus, Windows, and Icons, that'd look like KoL's too!

Grow up, get a life, enjoy LE4 as it should, and back em3 for all his hard work.

I was feeling lazy and didn't want to check to see the font name of Kol's theme to se if they matched. Segoe UI looks like crap on my Dell 1704FPT 17" monitor. Its washed out and faint looking. My opinion that it shouldn't be used and in no way thought it was Kol's property.

Don't F'ing tell me to grow and and get a life! :angry: Excuse the hell outta for thinking we could offer opinions/ideas in this thread :rolleyes: If I was slinging insults at Kol and em3, then you would be justified. You GROW UP AND GET A LIFE!

Black style will be improved in next version. It was to gray imo so I'm making it darker. It will look awesome. :)

wow. i can't belive i just discovered this theme.

would it be possible to make the whole task bar the same black shade as the start button? i think that would be perfect.

Common guys this is em3 thread not mine. If you want to talk about the font used in my theme go to my thread :D

btw denzilla my theme use 3 different fonts. If you dont like one you can chose one of the other twp.

    • 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 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.
