Okay, I made a couple more updates that I'll soon email to those who requested the theme. Please report any bugs on this thread so that I may address them.

*On the side, would anyone be interested in a Black LE with lil parts that would glow that neon blue that's used in LE5? Like say have the hover effects glow blue on the taskbar, programs list, tabs? This was just in my mind I don't know if it would interest anyone though.

@ArChAn9eL: Is it possible that you do a thin taskbar with compact start menu? Screen real estate is really precious to me as I'm on a 14" notebook. The old school smooth progress bar is a sweet add-on also :)

If someone could teach me how to make a compact menu that would be great, because as of now, I have nooooooo clue. As for making the thin task, I'm sure I can work something up :p

Open the theme up in resedit.

Then change the contentmargins from the places pane in the ini files.

For compact startpanel that is :p

To what values exactly? Or is that all I need to know? Well I'm way too tired to try right now being 1 in the morning and having class tomorrow. I'm passing out! Nights!

If you use your icons at 32x32 then you could set it to DefaultPaneSize = 0, 0, 58, 0

So bassicly it depends on how big your icons are.

the black mod is great so far. I miss the thin taskbar and titlebar, but it's your mod so i won't complain (i never complain anyway :p)

good job.

Don't worry I just finished the compact black. Enjoy it to your hearts content Mr. I Don't Complain :D Hope you are on my email list....

* OHH YEAH! I forgot to mention thanks to Capric0rn who gave me the values for the compact menu!

No problem :)

I forgot to mention that you have to change the values from the Userpanel and the Logoffpanel as wel.

You do? I don't see a difference though...but okay I'll adjust the values :D

*EDIT actually the values that you gave me don't match the original LE3's at all...I just left them as is, it's still compact so I don't see a reason to edit these values O.O

Well to those who didn't get my email, here's what I'm planning...

Okay, I'm going to be MIA for a while I go on a modding craze on this black theme. I plan to collaborate with a fellow Neowin member on making this a sick complete theme...as it isn't already (sarcasm). But yeah, here's the plan:

+ Add some other glow to the theme instead of just black and white

+ Implement more secksi radio, check boxes, those scrolly things

+ Fix up the startmenu's program list using Bant's techinque

+ I guess some other stuff that may come along the way

Welp just some FYI, ArChAn9eL OUT!
