tehmemories Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 The LE3/LE5 Hybrid is amazing. I hated how the regular LE5 wasn't as dark as your Hybrid. Although I have a request. Can you make a substyle with LE5 close-min-max buttons? I love the new buttons a little more because it still is XP looking but not :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the new buttons a little more because it still is XP looking but not :p Yeah I was thinking about keeping them suckers except I am not all that great at editing images, that means I'll have to recreate those buttons which may take a little more time. The reason I must recreate them is because they have that fugly shine line through them which wont match the smooth as milk bar that is part of the LE3's side of this hybrid.

blefaritis Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hello. I think I found the most unusual problem with LE 5.0.5. If I click "Search" in Internet Explorer toolbar, IE stops responding and its CPU usage goes to 99%. If I close IE through Task Manager, change style to "Windows XP" or "HmmXP" and try that again, it workd normally. Changing style to LE, IE crashes again. Can anyone reproduce this problem? Bye.

JustGeorge Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 How would I go about making the highlighted section white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMEGA_RAZER Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 ^^^ Edit the BMP file called "STARTPANELMFUBACKGROUND.BMP" and make it whatever funky shade of white you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArChAn9eL Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 ^^^ Edit the BMP file called "STARTPANELMFUBACKGROUND.BMP" and make it whatever funky shade of white you want. Yeah that'd do the trick, but IMO the white would look so out of place when shrouded in all the black... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGeorge Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Maybe cream then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArChAn9eL Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Maybe cream then? Well, practically if I go brighter than that shade of black, it'll make that silver line on the top wacked out because I didn't actually recreate the graphic so it wont have the same transparency and gradient (The black and the line are attatched if you look at the graphic). I'm not really that great at creating graphics right now, once I'm done with these LE3/5 buttons, I will be stuck over as to what kind of start button there should be...

JustGeorge Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Just a couple of suggestions: 1. Theme is slightly too black. Maybe lighten it just a hair. Its very hard to see the smooth gradiants because its so dark. 2. Re-adding the gold lines in the start menu would polish it up a bit. Good work nonetheless :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tehmemories Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 That just doesn't look right. When it's black I think it's easier to see the icons/names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArChAn9eL Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Yah, I have to agree with memories there. As for the hybrid, I finished the LE3/5 captions, yay :D Just need a secksi start button... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom7000 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Well, these are just some of the start buttons I've accumulated over time: And this is a black template just incase you want to do your own: Credit goes to all those who designed them. Not sure who's who, Sorry! I personally quite like the 3rd one. However, a coloured version of the Alt. Start Button from LE3 would look brilliant!
