Ah, the color was changed though :s

Is this what you mean?

The LE4 close button (and also minimize and restore buttons) had a "closing animation" where the button would tilt if you pressed it. It would be cool to have this again in LE5 with LE5's slightly adjusted colours.

Yes. I've been waiting for FOOOD to reply to a request to use his icons in the shellstyle :/

Just in case he didn't receive the PM I'll resend it (as he has been online today, but hasn't replied).

EDIT: I've just revised FOOOD's policy on using his icons, I believe I can use them without asking permission, I'll release the second version of the shellstyle soon, which will use some of FOOOD's icons. This probably explains why FOOOD didn't reply, if he has a problem with them then I'll remove them :)

Sprocket, you should read FOOOD's policy again, he doesn't allow any usage of his work without his permission. Remove the shellstyle from deviantART and wait for his answer,please.

Hi em3,

i found an little error on on taskbar in LE5 and LE4.

I love your work since LE3 and use it every day, but since LE4, and also in LE5 it has an iconsize-error in taskbar on my thinkpad.

I attach an image that describes my problem. If i use LE3, the icon fit exactly.

Hope you can fix that in LE 5.0.4.

Thank you for your great work.

best regards

!llum!nat! :rolleyes:

^I think I know what the problem is and I'll try to fix it in the next update. In the next update I also plan to include alternate seletion colors since a lot of people requested it. The only question is that since there only are 3 spots in the Font List where I intend to add this option I must chose to add compact startmenu or not to the alt. colors. Or if someone know how to add more stuff to the font list, let me know.

THANKS EM3 for your nice support :laugh:

Well, you could always add it as a different Colour Scheme altogether, because you can have as many of those as you like. (I think) As for the font sizes, not too sure about that. However, I remember you putting in Compact Start Menu's and Alt. Start Buttons as different Colour Schemes in your previous versions. Maybe thats the "workaround" to the problem.

@!llum!nat!: Sorry, don't now how to fix the issue with the battery icon. The values I suspected was identical on LE3 and LE5.

That sounds bad.

Here are two pictures of LE3, one of them in thin and the another in normal style.

Perhaps it helps you, if you see it self.

!llum!nat! :huh:

Since I don't have a laptop to test this bug on, you could try fix it yourself perhaps. Use ResEdit (from tgtsoft), open the le5.msstyles (located in windows/resources/themes/le5). Check the TEXTFILE folder and open the file you use. Scroll down to [TaskBar.BackgroundBottom] and change the SizingMargins values to 0, 0, 2, 2. I think that might work. But if I would change these values in the official version people who use multirow taskbars might get upset. Then again, these values might not fix the battery icon anyway. :p

Btw. I saw your mail earlier. It was in the spam folder, therefor I haven't noticed it until now. :p

    • After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in may areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
