Gotcha.

Reasons: 1, 2

"I just think it would end the annoyance of inconsiderate people"

So.. they are allowed to annoy us with making rips based on our stuff and uploading them? If they just start respecting the decisions we make maybe all the annoyance will stop.

It's all how you look at it, I guess.

Would you like it if you see something that you've worked on for so long, maybe a year, to be all messed up by someone else? It's nothing but disrespect to the artist that made the theme. That's what I think about it. Sure I've made mods based on themes but I don't go posting links to it.

so i'm looking to change the fonts using resedit or reshack, anybody that can help?

I use resedit; Open the "msstyle" in Resedit. Go to "Text File" & choose the style. Then hit the "Edit" button, which should open it in Notepad or something. Once in Notepad hit "Ctrl+F"(Find) and type "font", just go down through the file changing the font/size things to the desired one.

That's the way I do anywho.

There's not going to be a LE SE. Only a totally new LE which you can find in this thread a few posts back :) And there's no ETA set for that either. It's hard to set release dates for a visual style.. just so you know.

What I've never understood is why people feel they have to release their mod, especially when it's against the original creator's wishes. So, you created a mod to suit your own needs, good for you. If you like using your own mod shouldn't that be enough?

Sorry for furthering the mod issue, but I felt the need to mention that.

Yeah, I have no idea why they feel they have to release it. It's not like they have made their own skin :/ They SHOULD make their own skin instead of modding one and releasing it. It's so much more fun that way as well.

Edit: It seems that the ripper posted in the link 1 page back has finnaly been dealt with by deviantART. They've banned the person that was constantly posting rips.

Hmz haven't posted here in a while...

But looking at this topic, it still sounds like everyone is on the 'i-know-i-cant-release/upload-mods-but-i-do-so-anyway-and-i-like-to-complain-about-this-afterwards-altough-i-knew-i-couldnt-release-it-from-the-start' bandwagon...

like Cap said, creators of theme's make their own rules for their OWN themes..these things should be respected, whether it's a theme or a painting made by picasso.

Rules are made to be followed, not to be broken by some people who'll start complaining afterwards, even if they know the original creators don't like mods to be spread over the internet.

Just be happy with the themes people create here, and respect the fact that they don't allow mods to be distributed (only for own use...).

Sounds like people wan't to distribute other peoples stuff to get good comments and positive feedbacks on something they didn't originally created.

Hi guys, i'm a long time LE user... i'm in love with it lol.

Anyways... i'm making a mod for it (using StyleBuilder) and wanted to ask how to make the compact start panel to work, since when importing it seems that it gets lost in the process.

Here is a pic of my desktop, hope you like it :)

Oh! and also: how do i change the active caption text shadow? any ideas?

For a compact startpanel, you'll have to change the sizing margins from the places panel and the default startpanel size. The text shadow can be found inside Skinstudio. I don't know where exactly since I've never used the latest version.

IMO, This is the reason why em3 doesn't allow people to release mods.

LOL, it's a WIP... besides, it doesn't have to suit everyone's taste since it's foe personal use only :p

(And the .jpeg really screws it up)

True. Whilst it's not at all to my taste, I guess it has potential to look reasonably good (although I of course prefer the originals). Is the start menu meant to stick out like that?

Nope, start menu is pasted there from another screenshot, i wanted to show the active caption on and off.

The main "inspiration" for this color scheme comes from the XBOX 360 colors, also i wanted to have a LE theme that resembles the original silver Luna theme.

But yeah, it's kinda hard to get used to this colors, especially coming from black :p

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.

      Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.

      It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
