Nice work as always shaywood! ;)

I cant understand why em3 didn't give credits to you... It's obviously your startbutton! :|

Hi,

does anyone know what is wrong with the caption buttons?

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.

    • Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.
    • It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.
    • So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
