I loved all the previous Luna Element releases, but this one I don't like, the start button is nice, but it could be more defined for lack of a better word. The highlight color I'm not really liking. And the light blue ring around buttons also isn't doing it for me. I'll be sticking with LE4 till there's some update, but thanks for sharing EM3.

I like the selections even though some icons turn green/yellow, it's light and easy compared to the heavy look in LE4. I can't make it all perfect. The theme is finished so if there is something you don't like you'll have to fix it yourself. To be hones I think most startbuttons people make doesn't match. They totally destroy the flow of the theme.

A very nice theme. I have 4 slight comments. The pane color in "Wireless Connections" & "Search Companion" is not matching the theme:

And the "Selected Items" Color (light blue) somehow feels awkward when you use the black LE5 style. Lastly the green progress bar seems out of place - maybe make it orange like the pane headlines?

Can these be fixed / modified in an update?

Here's an answer to part of your question(s):

Lovely theme! but I was surprised to see that it had the same small flaw LE4 has. When you go to Search, the left section where search companion is is blue, even in the Black style. (Check attached screen shot of the area I'm talking about in Blue style. I can't post a screenshot of the actual problem in Black style coz I fixed it by mingling with ExplorerBar Gradient colors in ResEdit)

This is the area that needs to be fixed for Black style:

[ExplorerBar]
BgType = BorderFill
BorderSize = 0
ContentMargins = 12, 12, 12, 12
FillType = VertGradient
GradientColor1 = 140 170 230
GradientColor2 = 100 135 220
GradientRatio1 = 0
GradientRatio2 = 255

I fixed it as:

[ExplorerBar]
BgType = BorderFill
BorderSize = 0
ContentMargins = 12, 12, 12, 12
FillType = VertGradient
GradientColor1 = 38 40 51
GradientColor2 = 44 48 63
GradientRatio1 = 0
GradientRatio2 = 255

here are values for Full Startbutton Set.

You can change them in ResEdit opening theme file and open TEXTFILE folder in left column.

you need to change values in

NORMALBLUE_INI

NORMALBLUEC_INI

NORMALBLACK_INI

NORMALBLACKC_INI

Open NORMALBLUE_INI and find in text:

[start::Button]

BgType = ImageFile

ContentMargins = -56, 105, 0, 0 <--- change this values to -65, 128, 0 ,0

Open NORMALBLUEC_INI and find in text:

[start::Button]

BgType = ImageFile

ContentMargins = -56, 90, 0, 0 <--- change this values to -65, 113, 0 ,0

Open NORMALBLACK_INI and find in text:

[start::Button]

BgType = ImageFile

ContentMargins = -56, 105, 0, 0 <--- change this values to -65, 124, 0 ,0

Open NORMALBLACKC_INI and find in text:

[start::Button]

BgType = ImageFile

ContentMargins = -56, 90, 0, 0 <--- change this values to -65, 111, 0 ,0

You use that annoying search companion? :p I would never notice because I use the classic 2000-style search instead of the Windows XP default. (When I'm not using their add-on Desktop Search Utility)

If your fix works, nice one. ;)

Is it just me or does it look the same as alot of other themes?

I mean it's nice, but just as nice as all the others are.

If i'm wrong then i'm sorry.

Just a bit perplexed.

nothing in particular sticks out about this theme. i don't understand what all the fuss is about.

to me the 2nd one was the best, and even that wasn't much more than a luna mod. it just seems to be getting worse and worse the more it is worked on.

    • Fun fact: There are more Warhammer 40k games than there are stars in the universe.

    • Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
