That's because there's no shellstyle in the theme so there are no settings for that part either.

Also, here's a teaser from the new toolbar buttons:

I think with the amount of people who don't like the 'Vista-style' shellstyle I put out, I'm also going to work on a left-pane [the default type] style as well. I've never built one of those though, so we'll see what happens. :laugh:

@Capric0rn:

I'm really loving the Watercolor Emico series! Great job! :)

But, I would like to make a little request regarding WE Black. I'd like to have an option of having grey highlighting on toolbar buttons as well as the blue. Kind of like the way it was on the toolbar buttons of WE Blue before you revised them. IMO I think it'll fit the theme better and coincide with the way the other 2 versions of WE are.

^I know someone that's working on that kind of a shellstyle ;) And no it's not me :p
^Here's an updated version of mine:

@russellc: Thanks! :D

Wow - that's not what I had in mind, but wow, that's amazing! :D

Fantastic!

I've been hard at work [kinda] on a left-pane shell, and this is what I have so far:

I still want to change the arrow-buttons , and the background color for the entire pane.

Yeah - that's exactly the kind of shellstyle I had in mind. Having seen Capric0rn's though, I have to say I prefer his :p

Modified the black version of the skin into "Black Glass", modified a RocketDock skin to match (top), and whipped up a custom Launchy skin as well (center).

The logon screen is pretty much final (Need a [?] button though), and now I'm hammering out the alternate color versions. Should be ready shortly.

Great minds think alike, I was making the same -

I'd like to redo it, but sadly don't have the time (sorry Capric0rn :() - hopefully this can give you an idea with the drop-down arrows :)

Radish?

why when I click right button of mouse, in black theme for example, and select NEW (folder, shorcut, etc), in this sub-menu the text is black and no change to white? I can't see the text!!!!

Sorry for my english

Thanks

Unfortunately, that is one problem with using a dark selection color. You will find this on every theme, as it's a Windows error, not a theme error. However, there's good news. That kind of selection appears very rarely in general Windows use, so you won't encounter it often.

Every menu except for the Start Menu is rarely? :blink:

@Yggdrasilly: Maybe you can use the arrows from the scrollbars? I don't really like how the blocks are being squashed. If that can't be changed you should base the shellstyle on the smallframes.

@tmr250z: I can't add more substyles to this theme. Well I can but I'm not going to because then all the other subtyles should also have the toolbar option. I'll think about the black toolbar buttons. I've tried them already but IMO they should have a color. I'll ask my beta testers.

@StarLion: What kind of color should the ? button have?

@Radish?: That's no problem. I think that Yggdrasilly should also ask you if he can release his version.

@Yochanan: He meant that the "New" menu is rarely use:p:p

Is that vista or what ? -,-

What's that winamp widget you're using ? And what app is replacing your quicklaunch ? Neat desktop :)

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
