Freakin Awesome in 1.07!!!!!!! Major props!!!! LOVE the green start button and all the other changes made!!!!

A couple requests though if I may:

Get rid of that baby blue mouse hover over color, go back to the standard XP or do it grey like you did the toolbar. The background color of the startup tray, can you make it a color other than the rest of the toolbar like in Royale? When you have a BT symbol, a PcCillin, symbol, and a few others that are also blue, it's blue over load unless you make it a little lighter like in Royale.

Also do you ever plan on adding the wide vista style exit/minimize/close buttons like in 1.05?

Thanks!!!!!

Joni_78,

I noticed a couple of points you might consider. First, it looks like 1.07 lost the button selection recess that 1.06 had (see the first and second images below). My example here uses Firefox, but the same holds true for Windows Explorer as well.

Second, I wonder if you'd consider blending the gradient between the menu bar and tool bar a little more. I normally run Firefox without toolbar boarders (see userChrome.css code below) and the transition is a bit choppy (see the third image below). I realize that I am probably in the minority here, so I offer it as only a suggestion. Maybe if the toolbar separators in Firefox were lighter, as in Windows Explorer, then I wouldn't use the code below at all. Whatever color value in 1.07 that Firefox uses to draw those separators got darker in 1.07.

/* Enable flat toolbars */

menubar, toolbox, toolbar {border-style: none !important; }

Haven't tested StyleXP. Maybe it has some problems with SP2, dunno. Patch your uxtheme file so you dont need any external applications running in the background.

Great work Joni! I think that the colors are too much brights...can you attenuate them?

Thanx :)

Added Dark Blue color.

I'll fix those.

Joni, looks good. Although I haven't figured out how to keep it named as Luna. It won't allow me to delete the current Luna (keeps recreating it).

You dont need to replace luna, just keep it in the energy blue folder.

Joni, probably would have helped if I thought to double click the actual MSSTYLE instead of loading it through Display Properties.

Great addition with the dark blue. Although I like the regular. Thanks, again for such a great VS.

Joni_78,

Do you plan to eventually keep the msstyle file named Luna.msstyles? I'd never had the Luna theme applied to the Office toolbars before. Mainly because I never cared for the default Windows XP styles. Having used it for a day or two, not only do I think the blue compliments your style nicely, but some elements of Outlook are just easier to identify with Luna themed toolbars. Curiously enough, I tried renaming 1.08 to Luna.msstyles, but it didn't work with this version.

Found what may be a problem with the expand and collapse glyphs. When you expand, collapse, and expand again, they don't redraw properly unless the point in question is pushed off of the screen by the expansion.

This works correctly for me. Which version are you running?
