I think it's because you've changed the fonts.

First of all, congrats for LE 5 - this is the best Element theme in my opinion.

There are some small problems left, at least one of them could be easily fixed... :D

1. The first one is from an app called Total Uninstall.

2. The secomd one is from Where Is It?. If I remember well those big buttons weren't present in LE 4.

3. The third one comes from all programs (file managers) with dual panel techonology. As I reported in LE 4 thread, you could change a little bit the colors to see better which is the active panel.

4. As you can see in first and third picture there is some blue space which shouldn't be there when you make a screen capture. This is the worst problem in my opinion. :(

All those are application issues exept for the first. Screenshots will get that space at the top because there was no way to control the text posision in the captionbar up and down. If I didn't add the extra space the text would be to far down.

@shaywood and people posting regarding the new startbutton: His work is based on mine. A mix of the old beta square startbutton and the final v5 startbutton.

This problem can also be found in Windows Media Player. When you switch to full mode with the Menu Bar. Looks really ugly and out of place!

Can someone tell me how to make the font of the taskbar buttons bold?

And how to make the font of the logoff and shutdown buttons bold too?

...and how to change the tooltip colours in the actual file, not by usng display properties?

I don't know what to change in the ui textfiles :s

These are the only things left I need to change.. :D

I made a slight mod to the previously posted black "menu" start button. I didnt really like the yellow highlights so I chnaged the color to white and the hilighting style somewhat. Here it is.

Its kind of hard to see the highlighting here but once its in use it looks great. Hope you like it.

Can you please mod one for the normal taskbar? I use normal because when I minimize WMP it expands the compact style. Plus the compact style and that full startmenu just don't mix.

    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.
    • If only Windows would have a toggle switch labeled "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible. Awesome idea!
