I'm really a fan of how the new LE5 looks to be honest with everyone. I am really in love with the subtle differences that exist in this version compared to previous versions.

The inactive titlebars look great compared with the ones in LE4 for instance. It's nice and dark, like it's lurking in the shadows.

The hybrid progress bar looks very cool as well. I love how there's not as much of a gap in between the bars when it fills. Plus the solid bar looks really smooth and consistent as opposed to LE4's look. LE4 you could really tell that it had a 'stretched' look instead of it being consistent throughout.

Scroll bars have been improved and catch my eye better than previous LE versions. I love the start button, but then again I was already kind of using this in LE4, just positioned differently - as shown here

That's just some of the cool changes that I've been enjoying the most - though I could name many more. I'm a fan of em3's work and hope he continues to work on Visual Styles.

Keep in mind that we can't all be satisfied by any one person's work. If there's something that you don't like about the theme, you guys should start learning how to use ResEdit or ResHacker. It would take less time to make the change yourself instead of posting 1 thing you don't like about a VS in this thread.

Just my unemotional opinion, so take it for what it's worth.

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
