I'm disappointed with this release; V4 is amazing and the compact alt.start version has been my default theme for as long as it's been about, yet this release is full of lots of little annoyances and as a whole just doesn't gel... the start button for the blue theme is just hideous. NEway, I still think you're a great artist and look forward to the next release - I hope it can be as good or better than previous versions.

ok, but i have only changed those buttons in the screenshot, cuase there all i use:

Make a copy of the shell32, use resedit to open the copy, and replace each of the bitmaps 204,205,214,215. then save and use the replacer to swap it with the original... then reboot

thanks to Han_Solo :)

some strange thing:

Black Compact + Normal (font) = Normal Start Menu

Black Compact + Alt Selection Color (font) = Compact Start Menu (should be normal i suppose as there is compact start menu option font choice)

(( same for Blue Compact ))

i really like this style!

the thing is i want to use compact windows style + normal start menu

I couldn't edit my last post.

But i'm going to make that compact startmenu normal (the one that's called Alt Selection Color) :p

So if you want I can send it to you when i'm done with it Suicide.

I prefer the alt start button from LE4 (the "abstract" white winflag--sorry, can't think of a better way to describe it). Anyone know where I can get a version of it that would work for the compact/black substyle of Le5? Or is there a way I can extract it from the LE4 msstyle using ResEdit? I'd like to make a run at using ResEdit to change the start button in LE5...

I'd like one of those suckers too, cept for the Normal Black, not compact.

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.
    • 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.
