Luna Element 5

That mod should be removed cause em3 doesnt allow mods.

Why are people not listening to the authers wishes.

I saw a mod released on deviantART a few days back as well.

em3 - how progress in LE 5.1 ? :)

It's been just under a week since he had his computer back, I doubt he can serve up magic overnight haha. Welp, I'm off to Cancun guys! Hopefully when I get back I'll get a delightful suprise with LE 5.1 :D

Today I got employment at a company I worked for last year. I pretty sure I'll get to stay there the during the following months as far as December hopefully.

Still haven't gotten my XP licence. I'm 90% sure I'll get it on monday.

Other than that. My mockups are still not done for LE5.1. I'm still working on/checking whether the royal shading is correct or not. It's pretty good right now but I want it to be prefect in this final version. There are a lot of other stuff I still haven't started working on that will have to be updated, for example tabs and scrollbars. I was also thinking about creating a new cool login sound, that will be played when Windows starts. That might not happen but it would be cool. :)

[Jamushroom Veteran]

That would be cool indeed :p

So you dont know yet how long we have to wait for the release?

Dont hurry the release btw :p

[DoS]

Yea! That would be an amazing idea to join your 2 great talents you've shown us in these past years =)

Does anyone like this startmenu? I'm thinking there should be no user image or username if I use this one. And only text in the right pane.

[dreamon]

yes yes I like it, and +1 for the no userpics idea :)

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Please make that as an alternative Startpanel.

Cause the username and userpicture kinda grew on me :p

Other then that, it looks stunning.

[chavo]

Just my 2 cents on the start menu. I think the whole Vista only text thing is really dumb. It's the one thing I don't like about the new Vista UI. It really makes no sense and takes longer to associate the button with the icon, the text only is even worse. Microsoft nailed it with the XP menu.

[Suicide]

no need for userpic/username = true

+1

[Mad_Griffith]

I think username and userpicture should be visible in the final release...

[Punio4]

My vote:

No picture, maybe tiny username, and yes to icon-only compact startmenu... Iconless is less intuitive.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I've got one question, is the size of those shutdown buttons possible?

[DoS]

I don't mind staying without the user pic, but only text in the right pane without icons? The icons really shouldn't be removed at all, never, noooo, all in my humble opinion =)

[Tweaker]

I cast my vote for no user picture but yes for the user name & icons with text.

[ckempo]

Keep the userpic.. in my opinion.

[Tweaker]

Here was another great start panel with a smaller user pic area.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Look at his older LE versions, he has a few compact versions that looks like that :)

You are absoultely right! I forgot all about that.

[sn00pie]

Been using LE 2 for a few days now, best LE if you ask me. :)

Me too :yes:

I customized my LE5 and really think it is the better. If we speak of unmodded, original LE, my favourite is the 4th edition for sure.

[em3]

Calm down guys. I will test it, with the user name at least. Might look weak otherwise. If it doesn't look as good as I would have hoped it's back to the default menu design.

I too didn't like the right pane without icons at first, but then I saw this theme and then I thought it actually looked pretty clean.

I can't test it until next week though.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I modded my LE5 to the new startpanel.

I've got mixed feelings about it, I like it with the icons.

Havent tried it with the username but will do that.

But I still really like the "normal" startpanel very much, so I hope you will make the new startpanel as an alternative version if you are implementing it.

I have a version with the new one mixed with the old one as well.

That looks nice to :)

I hope this all made sence :p

I'm back to the unmodded version before I get used to the new one, the all the joy will be gone before it's even released :p
