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.

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
