Thanks for the comments!

way2quick: Anything you find that resembles the original Luna theme hasn't been skinned yet, I released the beta early so I could get feedback on application compatibility, and find other bugs. Thanks anyway (Y)

trasher: Disabled buttons will be updated, and the orange widget hover is done on purpose.

mole: You're limited with the flash button, as you cannot change the text colour. I've found the flash to work well, its dark and its easily noticed, and looks nothing like the active band. Will be staying for now.

alright then. thanks for the reply b0se, i'm sure ill get used to it in time lol, i just do so much at once sometimes its so hard to tell sometimes cause the default xp (which ive always used lol) goes bright orange so i know someones talking lol.

It's nice and I'm going to give it a try, but the concept looked better IMO. It was much simpler (the Start button was just text, for example) and the min/max/close buttons were neater. I think the black close button in the concept goes better with the theme because it matches the black yes/ok button and the scroll bar. Mousing over the scrollbar turns it orange, which obviously doesn't match this blue theme. Is that done on purpose or will it eventually match the theme color, which in this case would be blue? I think it would work much better if the scrollbar mouseover did match the theme color. As of right now this theme reminds me too much of b0se DMX because of the colors, a theme which I used for a long time, with parts, such as the start menu, task shape, and min/max/close buttons, from a couple other themes. Those are my thoughts on the theme from comparing screenshots of concept and beta one and for using it for a couple of minutes.

Yeah I do think its coming along nicely b0se (Y)

But I do agree with imtoomuch. It would be great if it was as simple as the mockup, or at least resembled parts of it more.

It is only a beta though, think it will end up being great no matter what :)

Just registered to ask you to please be my dad.

The only vs to take me away from XPMC :p

gj man keep it up :)

edit: i know its prolly a pipedream, prolly not many ppl who use their bar on top, but any chance on getting the tabs/grey line switched for us :p

What's this XPMC theme??

Would love to see what it looks like!

Awesome work, ross. I like the whole concept alot.

Here's my 2 cents of constructive criticism though, just my thoughts:

1) i dont like the gray bar at the bottom of the task bar. Feels.. weird.

2) the resize grips should match the color of the theme. orange for orange, blue for blue. Just my sense of aesthetics.

Thats it pretty much. Other than that, Im impressed with your skill, as usual. I still remember the first themes you released on devART xD

Id hope for more colors when you're done shaping the theme to match your idea :]

1. You'll get used to it, just give it a little time. It'sprobably >the first theme you've used with a bar like that so it will obviously feel odd. I love it's and hence it's staying indefinately - its part of the taskbar design.

2. I don't like to saturate a theme in the same colour. 99.9% of every theme uses the same colour everywhere, and over the years that really (really) bored me. I like to add a bit of colour variety (while keeping it consistent) to keep things fresh.

My old themes, blimey. Come a long way since then! Remember b0sev1? *chortles*

I cant wait till it is released in black. So far my black mod is looking nice and I know for a fact that yours will turn out better. Since he said I could change the colors around this my progress on a black version. (dont worry bose it wont be released just like you said.)

    • I switched to AdGuard for this very reason. All my uBlock filters and user scripts ported over with no issues.
    • This is a hot take, but I only use "New" Outlook for 1 reason, the "My Day" side bar that shows your tasks and Calendar on "New" Outlook allows you to view shared calendars and not just your personal calendar. On "Classic" Outlook it only allows your personal Calendar. For my job, we have a group shared Calendar that shows appointments and scheduled tasks for the team and we don't really use our personal calendars.  
    • Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker by Taras Buria FIFA World Cup 2026 is kicking off in the United States later this week, and Opera, a popular cross-platform browser, is making it easier to track matches on mobile. Today, Opera announced a redesigned home page for its Android browser. The new home page is now "more immersive" with easier access to common browser features. Users can now customize Speed Dial icons (round, square, or squircle), enjoy a new weather widget with real-time conditions, and open AI Mode or a private session with a single tap. Additionally, the browser now has a built-in football tracker, allowing you to follow your favorite team without using dedicated apps. The tracker displays live scores, notifications, and statistics in a dedicated football hub. You can also check out line-ups, match events, and more. Opera surveyed its users, and 38% of responders said they plan to follow the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a browser. The tournament starts on June 11 and ends on July 19, 2026. "By providing football fans with instant access to live scores alongside a more considered design, we’re ensuring they are never more than a tap away from the action, even when they can't watch live," said Tim Lesnik, Product Manager at Opera Mobile. For Opera users in the United States, Opera runs a contest, offering them a chance to win tickets to a match in Miami in July, Android smartphones, PlayStation 5 consoles, smart TVs, and Amazon Vouchers. Users can participate by posting on social media with the #OperaFandom hashtag from June 12 or by signing up on the official Opera website. Opera will announce winners on July 3. You can download Opera for Android from the Google Play Store using this link.
    • That definitely doesn’t match my experience with using Outlook. I use the new Outlook with a local account, connected to a email account, that absolutely isn’t connected to a Microsoft account without an issue.   I used Thunderbird/Firebird once, lost some very precious emails and memories, because of the way it stored emails. Swore I would never use it again, it technically wasn’t the fault of Thunderbird, but an extension but the underlying reason it failed was due to the message format.
