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

I'm using the latest version of PanelsUI and the window title didn't change when I loaded this config. To fix it I added the following in Preferences -> Panels UI -> User Globals:

$settitle([%artist% - ]['['%album%[ CD%discnumber%][ #%tracknumber%]']' ]%title%)

^Black didn't look as nice. And since there already is blue text in the theme, I thought it would look nice to use that for a active button as well. If I use black more the theme would look to plain and depressing. The checkmarks in the checkboxes etc. have to stand out more then text and such, just like the active button. If they are black they look disabled.

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

I ported this Theme into WB5 and modied the Startmenu slightly and changed the highlighted text color which got rid of the invisible text. The shellex is a Vista shell that I'm experimenting with.

Like I said on Deviantart (I'm MystShadow20xx):

Nice theme, but the Shellstyles SHOULD be made for this. It may look better without them, but some people like the functionality of Shellstyles, like myself. Other than that bug, it's a very acceptable theme that I'd use for a long time.

Not to sound all arrogant and stuff but I'm seeing a TON of misuses of the term 'bug".

A bug is something in the skin that is either not functioning properly, causes something else to not function properly, or is an overall problem that the original themer did not intend. If the themer INTENDED to have something in the VS than it is a feature. Just because some people do not like that particular feature does not mean that the skin is broken or there is a bug.

I personally think that the buttons look fine as they are but the blue active button is really nice. I'm really not to fond of the black one. It's really nice looking but does look like it's inactive and if the skin has so much black than it really makes things boring.

Just my eight cents :)

There are many Shellstyles in other VS's matching LE Black. We should take LE Black as it is. Capric0rn did a great Job on this Theme and it's his Decision about the Shellstyle.

    • 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.
