I did have the opportunity to use it for a few days so thank you for that :D . My original idea was to stay with Windows XP until SP1 is release or more themes are available for Windows Vista. Unfortunately, I needed to use IIS7 for my work so I had to upgrade to Vista :( . A consolation for me is that I have Vista Ultimate and I have already patched it to have maximum transparency. However, I can't get AveDesk to run in Vista so that is really frustrating.

Looks nice. Unfortunately, I've just upgraded to Windows Vista as I needed it for a bit of work I'm doing so no more Luna Element for me :( . Oh well, I guess i just have to wait until something comes my way... :whistle: :shifty: :laugh: .

@zeer88: You are right btw :p The orange need to be brighter. Someone told me that the orange looks to halloween-ish and the person is right ;)

@Scirwode: I'm glad you liked it :D Sorry to hear that Avedesk doesnt work. Goodluck with finding a solution for that :)

Regarding LE Black 5.1

Is there any possibility to get a substyle that the start button would be lit/glittered when pressed instead of being darken/shadowed?

Is it in plan to get substyle for different color than orange subcolor?

Is there any wip for that : (if none is it on the skinning planning?)

@Pippin666: I actually began working on skins for that dialog today :p It's going to be hard to release it cause it needs some editing in shell32.dll and msgina.dll. So I dont know how I should release it :) With Windowblinds you can enhance the skin with antialiased corners etc. And other cool things :)

I'm just very curious, is using a skin like this one under WindowsXP Pro vs Vista 's gonna make any difference in therm of visual quality?

I don't think it does. looks like it does on XP for the most part. exceptions are the shell style and the start menu are the vista style. probably can't do much about that until the new version of windowblinds.

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
