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 :)

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

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
