Unique,

Great work so far! Congrats on the start button, it looks GREAT, as does the task bar!

However, the following things still keep me from using this as my permanent theme:

- Selected tab backgrounds and button hover color (use XP's defaults here, they look better and would go well together with the blue)

- Verdana font (make it Tahoma in all substyles for everything, like the XP default visual style)

- No thick taskbar substyle is available (This is a MUST)

- Start menu item spacing is WAY off (I wonder why this hasn't been fixed since the original Luna 2)

- In Original style, start menu item text is cut off

- Where you DID use Tahoma, it's too small (I think you still kept it size 7, it needs to be size 8)

- Title bar text is not bold (I think it should be)

- No shell style has been implemented (probably not top priority right now, but later on)

Get these fixed and this will become my all-time favorite and permanent visual style.

Here's a screenshot illustrating the Start Menu problem:

@ dacris2000: All great points...most have already been stated but I guess if we post them enough times, they will be put into the working version.

And about the shellsytle, have you tried using mgartner's shellstyle with this one? It's a good one to get you by until unique releases his...

good point, I will include it as the shellstyle until the arrival of the final

Right now, you can only use mgartner's shellstyle if you choose the "Original" color scheme. Could you correct it so you will be able to use the shellstyle in whatever color scheme you choose? Thanks!

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
