That's not bad, I just felt that without the 'dots' in the middle it looked a little empty. That doesn't look bad though, I kinda like it. :)

I'm sure someone with a little more image manipulation knowledge than me could do this, but maybe applying a flag-like 'ripple' to the final logo [similar to the default flag] might add to it?

did capricorn release the black version today? can't find anything in last pages.

No he didn't, but given he lives in Holland, he might still release sometime tonight in our time zones, which would be morning for him.

I've been using Royale Vista II by dobee for over a year now, but WE Black might become my new favorite. I like everything so far except for the orange. I guess I have to blame Microsoft for that. I'm used to a light blue so it just looks wrong.

Some highlighting is the 3D grey, some is black, and some is orange. For instance, when I hover the mouse over the menus in Firefox, it's black. When I hover over buttons, it's orange. When I hover over Start Menu folders, it's 3D grey. Could we have more consistency? I like the 3D grey best.

Why is the scrollbar on the left panel in Explorer not themed like everything else? Is that part of the shellstyle?

Also, I tossed in a shellstyle I like from Royal Red by TestyAmoeba, but it won't work with WE Black. I have it as C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\WE Black\Shell\Normal Color\Shellstyle.dll like any other visual style I have installed. It works with everything else. Any ideas?

Same here,I prefer blue to that bright orange anyday.

Orange+Black reminds me too much of LE5 Black.It's not bad...but I'd like to see WE Black as WE Black,and not WELE black. :D

I absolutely love Ergo. :) My fav blue for desktops.

@Yochanan: What do you mean with 3D grey and black highlighting? The menus have a grey highlighting for a reason. If I'd make it orange it would look just wrong. I'm following the same guidelines as the previous versions so I'm not going to change the highlight colors to a totally different color. I don't know why the grey menu hovers are inconsistent :s Look at the other styles and see how those are colored.

The scrollbar in the left pane is indeed skinned by the shellstyle.

The shellstyles aren't working because of the skin names. The folder names for the shellstyles are: BlackM, BlackC, BlackWM and BlackWC.

I already posted why I didn't add a shellstyle in the 1st post. I don't use them myself because they break the theme in an ugly way. I can see this weekend if I can make a quick shellstyle but I'm not sure yet.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
