{finestquality} Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Hi, thanks for your great theme. However, there has been a bug for quite a while which doesn't seem to be getting fixed, even with all the new iterations. Someone posted a screenshot early in this thread. Upon reboot, the start button is cut in half - i.e., the blue task bar is overtop of the lower half of the green start button. It's very annoying, and is rectified by right-clicking on the taskbar, selecting properties, and selecting ok. This brings the start button back to normal. Please try to address this in your next version. Thanks again for your hard work.

For me it look correct after a few seconds though, don't have to click on anything.

Melody Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Just curious, the latest Luna Element 3.1 LE3.exe is 295K. After installation, if I recompress the C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Element and ElementA folfers I got a RAR which is 1900K. And even bigger if I used zip Your exe has an incredible compression ratio, how is this technically possible?

one321 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I love this visual style. You can do whatever the eff you want to with the progress bar and I'll still love it. Keep up the good work!

For example shellstyle (12 times), and all the bitmaps in the msstyle file. The compression method is called LZMA. It is what 7-zip use. :) I have never used RAR, and never will. Just because it costs money doesn't mean it's better.

dauma Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hello ;) I'm new on Neowin. So I like very much this Luna Element 3 visual style. Can there be option to choose progressbar for future versions, like it was in LE 3.01? Everything is OK, but I miss that.

OrcoXP Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hey DMT welcome to Neowin! I wanted to let you know about a custom that we have here...

Zapster Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Once and for all people. I like the current chunk progressbar, and I know it looks good. It's just a matter of taste. If I had never used the solid bar in LE2 I bet not a singel one of you would complain right now. There is a reason the theme is called Luna Element. The current progressbar is more Luna than the solid one. Stop whining please, this is getting ridiculous. :p 586034649[/snapback] Even though a lot of us have been nicely asking for it, it's not likely we will see the old progress bar return. Check out the above comment from em3. Simply do what I do and use an old version with the smooth solid progress bar. It looks superior to the current chopped up one, in my opinion. Oh yeah, to quote the master, "please stop whining!" ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/322891-luna-element-3/page/22/#findComment-586045162 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGeorge Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 is there any version that has the smooth solid progress bar without that bug? 586045886[/snapback] Well, you're gonna get the Java problems if you revert back. em3, you might want to submit this VS to MS to see if they would digitally sign it for official use. No one in their right mind would look at this theme and not think its screams quality. Doubtfull anything would become of it, but hey worth a try!

bigl523 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 microsoft wont digitally sign this because you arent even supposed to be using themes to begin with ;) why else would you need to hack the uxtheme.dll??

Element is an amazing theme that should be appreciated without a hack. Yea,Yea...I know......
