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.

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
