I agree. The selection colors should be colors that are already used in other parts of the VS. Light grey is used nowhere...

There are a lot of stuff in the theme that has no color. I thought that the gray looked good becase the menus are white. And the blue text gave a nice feel to it imo. Btw. the tracksliders are gray when you click on them. :p

it's funny... been using 5 all day, and can't let go of 4. I think it's the green start button. After all this time with 4, it is actually distracting me.

How crazy is that?!

I do like 5, but I can't leave my lover, 4. :blush:

Peace,

Matt

ps

oh yes, I also hate baby blue with a seething passion. Oh well! But, seriously; I consider this a new art form, it's not like I want to look at Guernica all day, and it's not like I want to watch the last episode of Twin Peaks over and over again.

For all you looking for a great wallpaper:

I really like the new "Luna Element 5" release I just don't particulary care for that "start button".

I thought the earlier idea with the square "Start-Button" with no text was perfect (others I believe agree on this also. The Vista Orb concept also being thrown around, although I find less original then even the one out now), this new one is less original IMO. Due to the fact that it resembles Windows XP Media Center's. I thought it was more original with your previous idea since this visual style represents an improvement in Luna's visual concept, and not just using what already exists with a slight change.

I'm not trying to cause conflict here, I truly appreciate your effort and find the Visual Style to be 99.9% perfect in my eyes, I just really prefered some of your earlier concepts such as the previous idea for the Start-Button, I also slightly prefered the dotted resize box in the corner over the one with lines.

Your originality truly shows in this update and shows improvement and evolution from the previous "Luna Element 4". However, I felt those two previous concepts showed more originality.

I realize that I could edit this on my own for personal use, and might do if more free time is available. I'm just throwing around some of my thoughts, I know you can't please everyone.

Here is a test version with another selection color. Icons don't turn green and it doesn't look to bad imo. Try it out and let me know.

FYI Only blue version is updated.

Nice change..but you should really apply this to the black scheme mate. And dont forget about the menu drop down arrow color when you hover over it in the black scheme.

em3 nice skin i've finally gotten back into skinning after 3 years (using them that is)

To others: How do I change the start button icon? using ResEdit? I just see a lot of text values to change, anyone know of a guide I can follow?

And anyway to change the light blue selector?

Thank-You

Yeah, I'll create a simple one and upload it to LEnet tonight. It's not hard at all.

You guys don't need to edit it or change the theme itself to fix the highlighted icons, all you need to do is right click your desktop, choose Appearance. Click Advanced, click the box that is titled "Items". Then switch it to Selectable Items. Then put Color 1 to Dark Blue, then Color 2 to white. There you go, fixed. Awesome theme EM3. :)

i love luna element :) its the bestest

I myself just like a style shell, and a custom start button. Thats about it.

the LE4 Black start button was the greatest IMO, Imma try to mod it for the blue.

LE3 Royale was also a favorite of mine.

Great work Em3, I love it!

Cool done this however instead of black I did a grey colour.

Anyone know how I can make the blue selector I get in the start menu a grey/black colour like in LE4?

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
