I feel obligated to say that im using LE4 right now,and for the most part love it. but its my first time of using a theme like this, my top 3 were pseudo-os looking instead of eyecandy..

edit: how you can you guys like both LE4 and longhorn 5023 enough for both of them to qualify your top 3 spots. Aren't they more similar than diffrent..

Most of these themes are great looking and showcase a lot of skill by the authors, particularly the Luna Element theme.

However, as much as i like the look of most of these themes, they very rarely prove very useable on a day to day basis.

Luna element 3 was pure Genius and is my favourite. The gradient shading on the taskbar and start menu was nothing short of perfect.

Luna element 4 is a close second. The gradient shading is harsher and doesn't work as well as 3. Also, as good as the window buttons look, they aren't as functionally useable as those in 3. I'm using LE4 now, but only to see if i can get used to it.

As Em said suggested though, i'm going to start to try and make/edit Visual Styles of my own. I'm going to start with LE3 or LE4 i think to see what I can improve (before LE5 of course).

I bought SkinStudio, so i hope this is the best tool for the job.

Out of interest, what does Em of Luna Element fame use to make his VS's?

lol @ kol mentioning his own vs's :D

Reluna is not mine. Most of the time I use only my themes. Like grimman said, Im happy with releases.

Ohh and I need to add Tiger and Fresco to that list too :laugh:

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
