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...

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!

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
