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.

    • One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.
    • Each generaton has its exciting times and I was fortunate enough to be right there at the beginning of the PC industry.   I don't think any of us at that time realized how large it would become I still remember working on a TRS-80 with a green screen monitor that kept overheating and dying.     Also used some TRS-80 PCs with tape cartridge memory.   They worked but boy were they slow with everything being a very slow sequential read or write.  But heh, they worked though it wasn't long before they were repaced by the HDD. 
    • One Drive should be a four letter word. First thing I disable on my computer. If I want to upload something to the cloud, I use a cloud base storage, NOT microsoft. Oh but what about backup. I have done backups since floppy disk eras...it just comes naturally.
    • It does just not OneCloud. 🤷🏻‍♂️
    • Claude Desktop on Linux doesn’t have ram issues. Strange. 🤷🏻‍♂️
