If you really like that sort of thing it's not too hard to modify yourself. The easiest way I have found is to use Windowblinds and SkinStudio. Import the styles into skinstudio and then you can just mix and match pieces from different themes, colorize them, etc.

I use this method to create the perfect LE theme for me. It starts with LE4( the best LE :p) as the base, and I imported the scrollbars and dropdown buttons from LE5. It's so easy with SkinStudio and no I don't work for Stardock, I just like to modify my themes and I'm real lazy about it.

Find shellstyle.dll. Go into the same directory as LE.msstyles. Create folder called Shell. Create folder called Blue (or BlueC), and drop the shellstyle in there.

Hello!

I tried to use a shellstyle posted here and followed the instructions above and didn't work. Little help here!!!

Cheers

Anyone has any ideas/suggestions? Or is this a bug that we have to live with because of the size of the buttons?

All the min/max/close buttons seems to work perfectly except when the restore and max buttons are beside each other, anyone have any idea on what I can try to adjust to fix this with Stylebuilder?

@amd2500+: What you want is not possible, it's a limitation of the Windows skinning engine.

The images that is used there is the same as the image that is used for a maximized window.

If you change the image to look nice for that tipe of windows it wont look nice on maximized windows :)

Thanks for the explanation. I guess the only way these buttons will look right with the windows skinning engine is for them to be all the same size? The reason I say this is all the other themes I've used with uniform sizing buttons don't have this issue.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
