shaywood Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Start button mods LE4a for LE5 *please note for use with blue compact sub style [Start::Button] BgType = ImageFile ContentMargins = -63, 60, 0, 0 LE5 Left aligned SB *please note for use with blue compact sub style [Start::Button] BgType = ImageFile ContentMargins = -63, 65, 0, 0 If modifications are not allowed I will remove the post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Actually, I think this is a step backwards from LE4. The start button has too much contrast. Make it smoother, and easier to look at. Also, the squeare buttons are sooo last century. Why not just change the start button to a windows flag, with no background? So it looks like its part of the taskbar. I think that'd look better.

shaywood Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 @blackice - A start button like that would take litterally seconds to do, if you could find the "vista flag" resource that em3 used :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad_Griffith Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 What I'm asking myself is if all these mods are being notified to em3 so that they can be uploaded on lunaelement.net. Otherwise, it is just a complete waste of time for mods' creators and pretty uncomfortable for mods' users. A suggestion to em3 concerning lunaelement.net: why not dividing the downloads in categories? For example LEX-StartButtons / LEX-Shellstyles / LEX Colour Selection Tips etc. (X = releases from 1 to 5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malisk Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 It looks nice, but I like LE4 better for now. I think LE4 looks more coherent in style, as for start button, scroll bars, and buttons. I think LE5 is a bit too "mixed up" with the Vista start button and shiny scroll bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proph3t Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Not a VS bug. Send a bug report to Microsoft. How come some themes don't have this 1px bug then? Such as XPMC which I am using right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha_omega Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 How come some themes don't have this 1px bug then? Such as XPMC which I am using right now. This is app and theme dependent. In Firefox for example you have to remove the 1px for yourself: http://cheeaun.phoenity.com/weblog/2004/08...bar-tweaks.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
