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.

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
