That's it. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/366542-luna-element-4/page/22/#findComment-586481144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGeorge Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Everytime I try to replace the startbutton with the buttons archangel made, I get nothing but static garbage. If I change them to bitmaps, resedit bitches about them being a different extention and they could have adverse affects and if I attempt to save, it says it fails to open them? WTF!!!!!????

Kegel Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Dudes...youre wasting your time. Use Watercolor 4.3...it is SO much better its not funny. Youll use LE4 for a while and realize it is too garish for every day use...youll want something less harsh. So save your time and stop using it now. Watercolor is sooooo much better. It kicks LE4's ass. You know it, I know it. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/366542-luna-element-4/page/22/#findComment-586481387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you sould try to reinstall it, if you are pretty sure to not have more than one resource opened at the same time.

When saving after replacing the resource, I get messages for each resource that it failed to open file. @Mad_Griffith: I'm using your shell style now, nice work!

Mad_Griffith Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 It has a soft royale glass by itself... so there is no need for a royale version, imho.

+Elі Subscriber² Posted September 5, 2005 Subscriber² Share Posted September 5, 2005 (edited) Ok here's what I got so far :) Link For Full Screenshot: Preview It Here and this is what I used: 1-) em3's Luna Element 4 2-) Kol's system tray arrow ( posted on this same thread ) 3-) DoS's compact Start Menu ( Posted on this same thread ) 4-) Mad_Griffith's Shell Style ( http://www.unprogged.com/neowin/ ) 5-) LClock V1.61a ( Neowin ) 6-) IconX free from Stardock ( For the desktop icons ) 7-) On Display by Microangelo ( For changing the desktop icons text font color) 8-) Wallpaper from http://www.socksoff.co.uk/walls01.html 9-) I used Resource Hacker and ResEdit for the tweaking stuff. Now I would love it if someone (Perhaps em3 himself ) would take it from here and make a full silver version of the compact mod :) I have been playing with Style Builder but no luck so far a little complicated and it takes a little time actually understand how to work with it, I'm willing to put upload this somewhere on request any takers?
