love the new style, all the changes are nice. the new scroll bars look awesome, new combo boxes and drop down buttons, new tray expand button. new start button seems awkward at first, but i think i can be something i can like after i use it awhile.

don't understand why people complain about the start button taking up too much space though, it takes upt he same amount of space as a regular start button.

the only thing thats wrong with the default startbutton other than asthetics...

you cant just put the mouse in the bottom left and click without looking, it wont hit the button.

But the blue theme looks GREAT with the black start button from le4

Actually, you can. The startbutton actually covers almost the whole area before the quick reply. You can click anywhere in that area and it will open the start menu.

I really like this Visual Style, my personal favorite so far! I used to use Vista Media Centre VS, but I was waiting for this forever and I love it! I actually like the start button, maybe make it a little wider and it would be perfect, thanks for your hard work! Keep it up!

Good work em3, it's a nice VS. I just don't see what the hype was all about. Like a lot of the people have said here before.. the Start button is fugly, and it's not that different from LE4. The whole look is starting to get really unoriginal as well. LE3 IMO is the best looking out of the LE series. I do appreciate the effort you put into your work though.

Hmmm... very nice. I could say there were more positive changes to the VS than negative, so overall I'm quite satisfied.

My complaints would be the awkwardness of the Start button (that shape is... different) plus the highlight colours for the icons. That colour from LE4 was ideal, IMO.

My only grip is that I wish the windows flag in the startbutton were bigger. May I be so bold as to ask someone to make the flag within the startbutton bigger? I think that would end the okwardness of the startbutton. =)

I love this theme though, em3 you did a helluva a job on this. Much appreciated.

    • 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.
