PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU POST!

Luna Element v5.1 Blue, is a Windows XP visual style and is inspired by the WinXP default theme Luna. A few parts are still in original design so I can't take credit for everything. This theme is also inspired a little by the Windows Vista GUI. It's a nice combination of old and new in my opinion.

To use this theme you need to patch the Windows system file uxtheme.dll. You can read about how to do that here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707

When you have patched uxtheme.dll you place the .msstyle in desired folder and run it.

If you want to use the included Logon place 'logonui_blue.exe' in C:\ and run the included logonui_install.reg.

This VS includes 2 styles:

* Blue

* Blue Compact

1 update is in development. LE v5.1 SE. Changing the shade of blue.

Bugs

Before reporting any bugs try and think of and explaination why the bug occurs and don't assume immediately it's a VS problem. Here are 2 "bugs" I know of:

* Black text background for checkboxes in some applications. (Application bug)

* In Firefox the scrollbar glyph doesn't change color on hover. (Firefox bug)

* Multi row taskbar does not look good. (Theme)

Mods and application skins...

Sure, no need to contact me about it. A link to my DeviantArt page is appreciated.

Don't forget to let me know what you think :)

    • FWIW this whole 'universal printer driver' challenge has been around since the 1990's! Back in the day it was ADOBE that held the mantle via their portable document format (PDF) which provided the most fidelity between your-layout and your-printer's-capabilities. By the 2000s, Microsoft went with XML-defined formats -- namely XPS. Alongside the [possibly transient] format, and combined with USB standards, the document driver models were evolving. A new generation of hardware adopting different/outdated security models prevented Microsoft from 'forcing' the industry to utilize a single 'Universal' printer driver. Every major OS generation (and obsolescence of older hardware/vendors) moved the needle further along... until 3D Printers (esp. by mid-2010s) changed the maths again! While standard documents had attained sufficient compatibility across OS + printer scenarios (and the slow death of Fax support), there were two major shakers to the hopeful calm: open 3d model formats, and subscription-based printer resourcing (HP and Epson are mostly guilty here). With a sense of calm in the printing industries (whatever is left), there's hope for another push for standardized printer hardware drivers... until another printer hardware trend wrecks havoc and custom drivers become requirements...
    • Can you tell me what the difference between the Moto G and the Moto G Stylus is? They look similar.
