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.

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
