@Zoom7000: When you activate shellstyles it breaks the Explorer windows. They use the lisview image which make the window look nicer IMO. With the shellstyle that image isn't used, then the toolbar wont look as nice as without the shellstyles.

@IceBrewedBeer: I know what you are talking about without the image ;) The blue in the theme is intended to be there. It wouldn't look nice with only orange.

The hovers on the checkboxes and radio buttons are orange. If I make the blue orange as well it wont look as nice :)

Hi, i've found a nice wall that perfectly fits. Try this: http://zone13.digitalgrafis.com/files/inte...01024_notxt.jpg For my screen (1280x1024) i used it centered not stretched.

@Capric0rn: Very nice work, only one little thing: the entries in the context menu 'sent to' in Explorer are nearly unreadable.

Here's my current shellstyle (based on Stolen VS):

And as requested, this is my foobar config and the required plugins... It's just a mod of the one made by em3 so the instructions are the same...

m4.pui / default.pui

(To download the files, click on "request download link" and then on "download file"...)

@Unbreakable: Scary.. your mod looks the same as a mod that I made for foobar while I was testing LE v5.1 Black

@acies: It'squashed down other wise we would had to remake every single image for the compact style. For you the systemtray and the taskbar buttons are looking different then the actual taskbar when you are using the image that you are posting. The margins are off for you know as well. So I advice you to use the default taskbar :)

@The rest: I might change something for the buttons so that there's a seperated image for the active and hovered items. The way it is now really is intended so I will talk with em3 about it :)

^Dont know yet. I'll talk about that with em3 as well.

To the people that say that the orange from the windows flag is blending into the startbutton to much; Why dont I see that? I see a clear shadow between both ornage parts. The orange in the windows flag is RED btw, in the middel of the icon it's orange. So it must be monitor settings or something cause for me it's not blending in to much at all :/

And one other thing I dont understand is why people want a green startbutton. That doesnt fit in with the orange that is trough out the hole skin. There's not a single green part in the skin. If you add green to the skin there are to many different colors IMO. But that's just my opinion about it.

I dont want to sounds hars or anything but these are just my thoughts about it :)

Feel free to comment me about these things :)

I always hated Microsoft and their Orange Zune Style that seems to have got the Orange into popularity. I personally prefer the way the start button is in LE 5.0.5. It's black and blends in to the taskbar, and only when clicked (or hovered over) does it become green. I find it much better than the Orange but that's just my opinion.

If you don't want to change the Orange, maybe just change the start button so that it is Black and only becomes Orange when clicked or hovered over.

Just a suggestion.

Yea I noticed that, I changed the taskbarband and the taskbartray aswell and it seems to all work nicely.

I agree, if you just have it black and make it orange on hover it would look great. But I don't know why people want a green button on a black and orange theme :rolleyes:

    • 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.
