LE5 Left aligned SB

*please note for use with blue compact sub style

[Start::Button]
BgType = ImageFile
ContentMargins = -63, 65, 0, 0

Actually, I think this is a step backwards from LE4. The start button has too much contrast. Make it smoother, and easier to look at. Also, the squeare buttons are sooo last century.

Why not just change the start button to a windows flag, with no background? So it looks like its part of the taskbar. I think that'd look better.

What's holding you back?

[andy_rose]

great buttons shaywood! thanx :)

[shaywood]

@blackice - A start button like that would take litterally seconds to do, if you could find the "vista flag" resource that em3 used :)

a start button like that would be grat :)

What I'm asking myself is if all these mods are being notified to em3 so that they can be uploaded on lunaelement.net. Otherwise, it is just a complete waste of time for mods' creators and pretty uncomfortable for mods' users.

A suggestion to em3 concerning lunaelement.net: why not dividing the downloads in categories? For example LEX-StartButtons / LEX-Shellstyles / LEX Colour Selection Tips etc. (X = releases from 1 to 5).

It looks nice, but I like LE4 better for now. I think LE4 looks more coherent in style, as for start button, scroll bars, and buttons.

I think LE5 is a bit too "mixed up" with the Vista start button and shiny scroll bars.

i agree with you. we're going to have a topic like LE4 one..too confusing..too big.. :wacko:

[Conaire04]

I love the theme :D (modded start, fonts)

Could you possibly send me this mod, if thats ok?

[JAbad28]

Isn't posibble to fix this jagges, only way is change color more darkner, in other themes is the same problem.

@gaabrysz - You mean this startbutton :)?

How do I change the start button to this?

[TCA]

i like the other start buttons 2-3 pages back.

[proph3t]

Not a VS bug. Send a bug report to Microsoft.

How come some themes don't have this 1px bug then? Such as XPMC which I am using right now.

This is app and theme dependent.

In Firefox for example you have to remove the 1px for yourself:

i don't think it is possible to remove the icons on the right, but i never tried.

i'll try right now and see if it's possible. might be something simple like changing the content margins.

edit: yes it is possible. I just tried it.

see...
