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"...)

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.

    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
