The only thing sitting on the taskbar other than normal WindowsXP stuff is LClock, and I've tested with it disabled. I don't use Windows Media Player, so that can't be it. I typically run on Autohide, but I've disabled it for the screenshot, and the space is still there. The taskbar is locked. This is Black Compact > Compact Start Menu. The red is just to show the ~2px of space that I can't seem to get rid of.

Wow that's odd have you tried disabling Lclock?

Yes, my theme has been modified. Here are all the things that I can remember doing to it.

- Removed Start Menu User Pic.

- Shortened the Start Menu header to 24px.

- Changed Menu font to HandelGotDlig, 9pt.

- Changed Icon font size to 7pt.

- Changed Taskbar Top Gripper to 2px tall (from 4px).

- Reduced height of Taskbar Background image by 2px.

- Reduced height of System Tray Background image by 2px.

- Reduced height of Start Button by 2px.

- Thin taskbar mod detailed at: http://www.gfxoasis.com/board/lofiversion/...x.php?t802.html

The last four were done in an attempt to solve this "problem" which exists on a default installation of LE5. I don't really think this qualifies as a bug, but I'm still looking for a way to mod the taskbar so that those extra 2px go away.

BorgDrone, it is the default start button on the latest official version of LE5.

Cant the bold line be the problem?

If that isn't it it could be the font changing.

No, it isn't. Does anyone else mind posting a screenshot of their setup, using Compact Black/Compact Start Menu? It sounds like no one else has this issue, but I get it even on a freshly installed copy of LE5 with no mods.

Uh, lock your taskbar. That nothingness is the grabber thing to resize it.

Uh, no, it isn't. In Post 1003, I have a screenshot of the taskbar locked and not set to autohide. You can see that the extra space is still there on the bottom.

Haha, I'm lost then, it just seems as though LE5 hates your guts.

What icon pack are you running?

I have no iconpack. I use a custom shell modification script though, which uses icons from everywhere, so I'd never hunt down everyone to get permission for a release. Two of the icons in the screenshot are from the Elemental set by pAntoni, the Microsoft Office icons come from a pack on DeviantArt, the iChat icon is from the same place, and the connection icon was made by me.

Bummer. I don't think this is really a bug though, so I'd rather just treat it as a modification. I'd like to know how to mod this theme to get a thinner taskbar.

Why don't you just ask em3 for permission to release? That's not a hard task to do. I doubt he will have anything against it and probably include it on LunaElement.net...

Because if im not mistaken those buttons are taken from KoL's VistaXP, im not 100% if they're on other skins but i recall seeing them on vistaxp.

Nice mod, however, the Classic and Classiic Compact are both missing the red close button. At least when ported into WB there not there. Nice W Paper! Aleady had the vista sound but this is good for those that don't. Don't know how long the mod will allow your link to download as em3 has stated not mod's allowed for loading.

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
