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.

    • 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.
