I can only get the basic Energy Blue color scheme, not the homestead or metallic. Any particular reason? I also don't get the close, minimize, and restore buttons -- I just get the regular ones for the Royale theme.

Oh, and I really like the theme, but I still like the thinness of LunaQQ better. You should make a thin bar version, and just shrink down the orb along with it. (Y)

It only has blue for now and buttons are back to default until those are 100% fixed.

The green button looks really good but i think it would look better less gloss and way less shadow so it flows into the bar aswell.The bar would look good alittle bit thiner and the button alittle bit samller as well. Compact start menu with the similar look of vista 5270 look, then in my opinon it would look perfect for what it is.. :)

You can change the bitmap with stylebuilder.

Final Star button will be in the next version, there will be lots of changes so might take a while untill it's finished. Also thin version will be added into final version. For the start menu, im considering to do it like vista if it looks better than original.

I like the Green start globe, but I LOVE the Vista style buttons, even if they aren't lining up quite right, so I'm going to stick with 1.05 until they return

Great GREAT VS man, just what I needed to make my x64 system stand out over my x32 systems,

much thanks :-D

^Yeah, I'm all over this theme. I prefer a more neutral color for my OS widgets, but I've grown tired of trying to have a consistent UI when most software designed today assumes that you're running either Luna Blue or Royale. I think Microsoft has been the worst offender here. Some of their stuff just looks like hell if you're running anything other than Royale. (Windows Desktop Search, Microsoft Money) So I've caved. Energy Blue adds some really nice touches without drawing too much attention to itself. Love the tabs. Love the scroll bars. And those caption bar buttons from 1.05 are just too sexy.

There's about 50 new bitmaps from vista also fixed the start button shadow. I forgot to fix toolbar buttons so those might not look so good in 1.0.7. Keep the msstyles named as Luna so you'll get themed toolbars in for example ms office.

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
