Knacki99 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Lovely theme! but I was surprised to see that it had the same small flaw LE4 has. When you go to Search, the left section where search companion is is blue, even in the Black style. (Check attached screen shot of the area I'm talking about in Blue style. I can't post a screenshot of the actual problem in Black style coz I fixed it by mingling with ExplorerBar Gradient colors in ResEdit) This is the area that needs to be fixed for Black style: [ExplorerBar] BgType = BorderFill BorderSize = 0 ContentMargins = 12, 12, 12, 12 FillType = VertGradient GradientColor1 = 140 170 230 GradientColor2 = 100 135 220 GradientRatio1 = 0 GradientRatio2 = 255 I fixed it as: [ExplorerBar] BgType = BorderFill BorderSize = 0 ContentMargins = 12, 12, 12, 12 FillType = VertGradient GradientColor1 = 38 40 51 GradientColor2 = 44 48 63 GradientRatio1 = 0 GradientRatio2 = 255 Where can I get ResEdit and which file needs to be edited?

Meister_Lampe Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hello everybody, It is a nice Visual Style... But what I would like is a Chrome-variant? Chrome with black or dark blue or titan? I think that would look fantastic... :) And the Taskbar could look mor "glassy" And a round start button also would be perfect. I also have a name for that: Chrome Luna Element or Luna Element Chrome Style ... Can't anybody make a mod in this direction? Or am I the only one who would oke this :)? How can I replace the Start-Button to one of the round one's on lunaelement.net? Best greetings, ML.

Orange Battery Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Its OK but not as big a step as LE4 was and I do prefer the previous start buttons so will be sticking with LE4 Blue and the modifications I made to it.

Joey992 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 It seems like people are really bent out of shape over this start button. I think it looks great, and more importantly, it's different from almost every other VS out there. My only gripe is the blue hightlight color. I don't have a problem with the way it highlights icons, I have a problem with that color blue in general. I really dislike it and a lot of the Vista VS's have it and it just annoys me. It's just a small complaint though. Overall, well done.

Mad_Griffith Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 got some questions for skinners (stylebuilder users)... how to change these parts: 1. The white arrow 2. The hover effect 3. (got no pic) The "selected objects" color I'd really appreciate.

You could compare it to watching tv in only back and white like they did 20 years ago or so.

Oh well, I think that trimming is a good idea! But I'd personally do that just for "Turn Off Computer". However, my primary aim would be deleting the "Disconnect" and "Turn Off Computer" hover background completely... but I don't know how to do that :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/425759-luna-element-5/page/8/#findComment-587124459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbreakable Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Mad_Griffith, this can be done only by editing some strings in explorer.exe (with ResHacker)... But this can be dangerous...

Legenda Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I changed to LE5 for now, but only until I can find a decent-enough Vista theme clone. Personally, I would have expected a bit more from LE5. I concur with others who have said this isn't such a big step from the previous release. However, I do give credit for the finish - so many great Vista theme clones are completely ruined by poor fihish. The edges are slick and clean. Window control buttons are a bit of a disappointment for me, but they don't matter that much. The black theme looks a bit bluish in my eyes (but I'm half colour-blind anyways so my opinion doesn't count). What I really, REALLY would hope is that the next version sees more Vista-like taskbar buttons (yes yes, I know, this is a Luna remake, but still!) and a white (or some lighter colour) window decorations. All in all, in terms of finish and care, LE5 is a great job. In terms of originality, well, maybe a bit more radical ideas wouldn't hurt.
