^Thanks :D

Here's a wallpaper that I've found today on deviantART. I've been using it since and I think it looks very nice with LE Black. And I wanted to share it with you guys :)

Here's a shot of it in action:

Nice find. Looks good except when looking at the bottom where it looks really fake. :p

Stylebuilder stil "breaks" it yeah. It removes the compact startpanel files.

@Smeltn: That goes nice with LE Black. I was about to use the same before I saw the wallpaper I'm using now :p

@acies: That goes nice as well :)

I don't know why a lot of people are complaining that not having a shellstyle in a theme is the end of the world. I'm a Multimedia developer and whatever I do I must follow the client's wishes as it is their product, but in this case I'm paid to do it. Since Capric0rn is doing it for the sole being that he enjoys it should be enough. It is his work and he is entitled to do whatever he feels is best for him and his theme, and you have no authority over him for it. Be grateful that at least we're getting a theme that not only looks good, but functions really well. If you are really that desperate in getting a shellstyle, the best way is to create your own shellstyle, or better yet, create your own theme if you feel you wish to criticise other people's hard work. It is one thing to give a suggestion but it is another to order a change just for the sole being that it does not suit you.

Dude, you have it all wrong... AFAIK the old LE's were made FOR others to use, em3 accepted ideas and criticisms. Every idea or criticism I've seen here has been replied with an 'i cba doing it, make one yourself' attitude. If someone suggests something and you don't like the idea then say so, but don't jump down peoples throats and tell them they are ungrateful for suggesting something that may improve the VS.

About the shellstyle, if you don't want to make one, don't. I'm sure people that can be arsed will make their own, and those who can't will simply use another VS...

I think the color of the old shellstyle should be changed just a bit to match the new shade of black and then be included in the theme, a completely new shellstyle is not needed. If the Black colors in the old one were changed just a bit it would go perfectly.

@Phixion: em3 made the old LE's for himself as well and he just shared it with the public. He accepted advice and critisism. I do that as well. I already changed the things that people said where wrong and I thought that needed to be change. But telling me I SHOULD add a shellstyle etc is not advice or critisism, that's just telling me what I should do with my VS. And I think I know best what needs to be done with the skin. Sure I take advice etc but I'm still the once that decides what I should do with it. And Scirwode didn't have it all wrong. I really did make this skin cause I like to do stuff like that. I took over em3 his project cause he asked me and the demand for it was high. And I would have been stupid to say "no" to him.

I already made a shellstyle as you can see a few pages back but I wont include it. Since I already said that and I know, I said I would ignore things about it. It's the same as ViperAFK said. The old shellstyle with some color changes. I dont remember people whining to em3 about him not including a shellstyle in LE v5.1 Blue. But that's because the old shellstyle had the exact same colors as the new VS. Since the Black style is totally new the old shellstyle doesnt fit anymore and need to be changed.

What Dock skin is that? Also could I get a link to the wall?

Dock skin is one I am making just for this theme because I couldn't find one I like. My first time making a dock skin so let me finish touching it up and I will release. Should be later today.

Wallpaper is one I found somewhere. I do not have a link, when I get home from work I will upload it and share the link.

What icon package are you using?

Pip'

Using the Super Tango pack found on these forums. Updated, using the Tangerine set.

I really like that dock theme too! I will look forward for the release. ;) Are you using RK Launcher?

Capric0rn and em3, thanks for this great visual style! I used LE5 Black till today, it was my favorite VS, but I like this one even more :)

The Super Turbo Tango Patcher (Of Doooom) isn't an IconPackager set but a shell patcher. It replaces the system files containing certain images with the appropriate Tango! Icon equivalent. For more info visit the link below and you can ask any other questions there.

There ya go :)

Yeah, I noticed that too. LE v5.1 Blue as it as well. It's an IE bug so I cant do anything about it unfortuantly. Thanks for telling me :)

You can fix it, if you change this Parts from ImageFile to BorderFill:

    • Wow, Microsoft IS cooking lately... This only shows that they COULD improve, they just chose not to for whatever reasons. That obsession with AI was destroying them from the inside out.
    • BATorrent 4.1.0 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 4.1.0 release notes: A community-driven release: everything here came straight from your reports and requests. It closes the remaining gaps with qBittorrent and fixes the Windows settings/tray/splash issues several of you hit. Fixed Settings now actually save. A whole class of preferences — speed limits (and the alternative limits), max active downloads, seed ratio, listen port, max connections, DHT/uTP/encryption, VPN interface, kill switch and proxy — weren't being persisted and reset to defaults on every launch. They now round-trip correctly. (Thanks to everyone who reported "the upload limit always goes back to 0".) Splash and tray toggles stick on Windows. Turning off the startup animation (or "close to tray") no longer reverts — the Windows registry stored these booleans as integers and the UI was misreading them. Close-to-tray hint. The first time the window hides to the tray you get a one-time notification, so the app doesn't look like it vanished (Windows 11 tucks new tray icons into the overflow). macOS Dock icon size. The icon filled its canvas edge-to-edge and rendered larger than neighbouring apps; it now uses the standard safe-area padding. Native file picker language. The "Torrent file / All files" filter in the open dialog follows the app language instead of being hard-coded. Added — qBittorrent parity Alternative speed limits toggle — a turtle button in the toolbar flips your throttled limits on/off instantly, independent of the scheduler. Follow system theme — switch light/dark automatically with the OS (Settings → Appearance). Pre-allocate disk space — reserve the full file size up front to reduce fragmentation (Settings → Downloads). Recheck data on add — optionally force a hash check when adding a torrent, so existing or partial files on disk are detected. Port status indicator — a 🔴 dot in the status bar shows whether your listen port looks reachable (UPnP/NAT-PMP + listen state; fully local, no external check). Add torrent from URL — File → Add torrent from URL (Ctrl+U) fetches a remote .torrent and routes it through the normal add dialog. Export .torrent — right-click a torrent → Export .torrent to save its metadata file. Already there (in case you missed it) Watch folder — auto-add .torrent files dropped into a monitored directory (Settings → Files). This release just surfaces it. Incomplete files already carry a .!bt suffix until they finish. Under the hood Regression tests for the settings-persistence and Windows boolean bugs. A new Qt Quick Test harness covering the startup splash and the design-system widgets.

    • Disabling open on hover, great! That was so stupid! They need to do a fix, where if a network share is disconnected, it doesn't hang when opening "This PC" for 20 seconds.
