[VS] LunaIII

[Mr. Black]

This is LunaIII. It is a modification of the great LunaII Visual Style by M. Gartner

There are several changes to it, infact, too many to list. Most noticably I have added a shadow to the Window Titles. Many, many elements were changed.

I did this a long time ago to suit my tastes and how I wanted LunaII, and since seeing the popularity of LunaII now, I'll let you all have it.

Shellstyle.dll is also modded with new images.

Enjoy!

DIRECTIONS:

Place the LunaIII folder in your \Windows\Resources\Themes folder. You must be using StyleXP or the ShellStyle Hack to use this.

NOTE:

I have constantly tried to contact Unique but he keeps saying he will get back to me, never does, then never emails, or answers emails. So i'm just releasing this, i'm tired of playing games.

IF YOU RE-DISTRIBUTE IT, GIVE CREDIT TO ME AND M. GARTNER

Good looking stuff... trying it now. Looks somewhat familiar tho...

[ring0]

i'm not noticing many changes :huh:

i made a modded version a long time ago too, but didn't think it was good enough to label LunaIII...

[Jessterw]

Edit: Nevermind. :rolleyes:

[username]

i like the old startmenu with the user pic (Y)

need to fix the color of the selected start button though

[athlonforce]

looks good will try this later ;)

[Bant Veteran]

so this is released without permission?

[aggrophobik]

I agree w/ username, I'm not too sure I like the start button. Seems like it could be a pixel or two higher, like the "non-enhanced" version. Also, it doesn't look that great when moused over. I like it better w/ no mouseover effect, also like the non-enhanced ver. On a good note tho, the start menu itself in the enhanced version is great. Will you be doing anymore modifications to this, say, the start button?

so this is released without permission?

Mgartner gave his permissions away to unique, who isn't doing very much with it so what's the problem if the original author does not care? :huh:

[Smitjel]

The shellstyle for the Enhanced Blue version doesn't work for me...

Could you also fix the content margins in the original versions as well?

[Tran]

Well the author now is unique so I think he might care a bit. Aside from that, mod or no mod, there's not much difference to be called LunaIII - more like LunaII Mod.

[memNOC]

LunaIII?

yipee

[unique]

Mgartner gave his permissions away to unique, who isn't doing very much with it so what's the problem if the original author does not care? :huh:

oh, my bad, for a second there I thought that 'unique' meant me, and not everyone. I have given no permission to this...may a mod pls close this down, regardless if I am able to work on my version or not...for those who care, the vs is coming along, but I don't have too much time right now, moving and all. But this weekend should prove to give me some free time, I apologize, but I have more to do right now then sit @ my comp and theme. unfortunately.

and what emails did you send me? ONE PM like 2 months ago, which was so vague and all you said was something to the effect of 'how's the theme going?'

anyways. no permish. I don't want to play games.

god unique, its just a theme, and its not even yours at the base so just let him do it man.

[edit] also, considering w have waited weeks for an update to your theme isnt really tolerable, i know your moving and i sympathise but you have had constant delays getting this theme out and considering the amoutn of people eager for an update and eager to actually have their suggestions listened to i cant blame them for releasing mods of "your" theme [/edit[

[GrandMaster]

well, at least Mr. Black doesnt have any trouble with the start button...

mods might close it down, but im gald i downloaded this theme while its still up... otherwise i would have had to wait ages before unique completed another beta =\

[biko]

Unique you made the taskbar smaller and changed the window buttons over a period of 3 months....way to go.

I would hardly call this theme your own. Had M. Gartner known you were going to invest more time into making up excuses than working on his theme, im sure someone else would be in charge.

Just pass it on to someone else and end this tradegy, but not until first replying to this message with one of your famous "why dont you stop existing" replies.

Nice work Mr. Black.

[Bant Veteran]

ah the mature thinking of theme hungry neowinians.....

[scowl]

off the subject a bit.. but bant do you have anything in the works? :)

Nice work Mr. Black.

by far the funniest reply ive read on neowin, had me lmao

[TruBD]

nice work

[Smitjel]

Hardly the case bant. If unique didn't have time to "theme", he shouldn't have taken over the project and claim the permissions as his own. Simple as that.

[TruBD]

well its his theme now unless someone can get a hold of M. Gartner

True that.

I edited my comment at the start of this thread simply because I didn't want to get into the childish bickering that often appears here anymore, however I find it amusing that because a person has a life outside of the computer and creating/modifying a visual style to appease the want-more's, this person no longer has the "rights" granted to him by the original vs author. Life does not always allow us to do everything we want to do or as we planned to do. I've never released a visual style/theme, even though a number of people on this board have seen works-in-progress from me on numerous occassions. Why no releases? Because life happens.

And all this bickering from people who are getting excited over a vs that hardly justifies being called LunaIII. As I originally stated (in my edited post), LunaII.b might be a better name. *shrug* I'm probably getting into something I knew from the start was pointless, but the attitude people have anymore is disconcerting. So much for civility and common courtesy.
