If I wanted to use the Windows flag for Emico then I would. Like I already said, I want Emico Blue SE to have it's own logo to suit the theme. The Windows flag is being used in lots of themes already. Also, the Watercolor flag is the same flag that Windows 2000 has which looks ugly.

Sorry for the double post but I wanted to have some opinions on this start button:

And yes, it's a Windows logo. It doesn't mean that I don't want to use an original logo. I first want opinions about the current one because I kinda like it :) This would be the hover state for the new start button (if it's going to be used).

Very nice looking shade of blue. I'd prefer just the logo without any label or borders, myself. Will this new Start button be for just the new blue version, or for all of them?

@Yochanan: In case you didn't know, this is for Blue SE. There aren't going to be more color variations of this version. Using just the logo will look to plain in the taskbar. I tried it with the start button that's in the current versions and I constantly felt there was something missing.

IF I'm going to use this button there will be only 1 variation of it. Which is icon + text + borders. Removing all this will make it look like the alternative start button from LE 3.

@SoapyHamHock: You haven't seen the start menu yet ;)

@Spartan Erik: What do you mean "other than the golden yellow" (which is actually orange)? It's not possible to use other colors in the taskbar. The new resize bar is green so using the same green on the start button won't look good. It's either the Orange sides or no sides at all. And removing the sides is not an option so they will stay. The normal state has blue sides.

Thanks guys :)

I noticed that I'm not even keeping my own promises :p I previously said that I wouldn't show of new buttons etc but yet I did. So therefore the start button is the last teaser that I'm giving.

Excellent :cool:

I personally like the "Start" text, though "Menu" would work well too.

Yes, you still haven't released the shellstyles even though you said it a few weeks ago :whistle: :laugh: !

On topic though, I quite like the Start button but is it only for Blue SE or for all the previous themes? Because I can't see how the gold border can fit into the other themes, especially Olive.

I've never given a release date for the shellstyles :p The only one that's currently release-worthy is the blue one.

Blue SE isn't an updated version from the current Blue version, it's still getting a new name. The stuff in Blue SE is for Blue SE only and will not be made for the previous themes. The previous themes are considered finished once the shellstyles are ready to be released.

I'm sure that not everyone will like Blue SE because lot's of stuff is totally different then the previous versions.

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

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
