Description
Thanks to em3 for giving me permission to finish and release this skin.And thanks for the help while I was working on the skin.
As a long time LE fan, it's very cool to release my own version and share it with the rest. Some parts are made by em3 though so I cant take credit for those parts.
Anyways thanks em3 for letting me do this!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes" and create a new folder called "LE Black".
Put the *.msstyle into that folder.
To use this theme you need to patch the Windows system file uxtheme.dll. You can read about how to do that here: [link]
If you want to use the included Logon place 'logonui_black.exe' in C:\ and run the included logonui_install.reg.
Bugs
Before reporting any bugs try and think of and explaination why the bug occurs and don't assume immediately it's a VS problem. Here are 2
"bugs" I know of:
* Black text background for checkboxes in some applications. (Application bug)
* In Firefox the scrollbar glyph doesn't change color on hover. (Firefox bug)
* Multi row taskbar does not look good. (Theme)
Modification:
For personal use only.
Don't forget to let me know what you think
This theme is concidered finished, so if you don't like it, don't use it.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it's the best theme I have used...
About the "invisible text" bug of Windows, if a text color change is not possible, can you change the background color to make the text visible?

The only fix is a different selection color. I'm not going to change the selection color cause it will break the theme colors. There'll be to many shades of black.
Changing the background color of a menu doesn't help a thing. The text will still be black and the selection as well.

I really like the theme and the logon but WHY is the start button ORANGE????
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just find it really jarring. It clashes with all the wallpapers and icons I have on my system. I MUCH prefer black or green.
I've gone back to Luna Element 5.0.5 but its not AS black/shiny as 5.1
oh well...

LE5.1 Black has the orange startbutton because it's the design. Using a black one wouldn't fit at all.
And since there's no green in the theme at all a green startbutton would ruin the hole theme. The orange startbutton is used cause tornado5 and I took inspiration for the colors from the Zune theme.

There arent going to be more LE version then Blue and Black. LE Black 5.1 is considered finished. My next theme (Watercolor Emico) will have more color substyles

Is there ever gonna be a new Luna Element Black theme or is this the last?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can't release unless there's a major update for LE 5.1 Blue. 5.1 Blue won't get a major update ony a color update. Black 5.1 doesn't really need a color update.
Why do you wan't an update if you don't mind me asking it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well cuz Luna Element has had 5 style updates already and I was wondering if this was gonna be the last? Will there not be a Luna Element 6?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Well.. I guys I shouldn't have talked so soon about the updates. em3 is updating LE 5.1 to a new version number. I hope this gives you enough info

em3 isn't going to update 5.1 to 6 on XP. There are to many bugs in the XP skinning system. LE SE will probably be the last update.

Go into Windows Explorer and type in the path. The .msstyle file is the skin.

Did you install the right patch? Did you place it in your Theme folder? Did you try double clicking the *.msstyle file?
Just read the hole page from my link.

I am a great fan of Luna Element since version 3. I waited so long for the Black version of Luna Element 5.1, but I have to say there's something in the colorscheme that disturbs me (too orange?).
Even if there's something I really don't like about too-royalish-VSs I must say I find the colours in Royale Remixed by oddbasket simply beautiful
(link: [link] )
Maybe someone could release a mod?

IMO there are so many themes like this that have blue highlights, it's refreshing to see another color. I disliked the orange at first (preferring the original Lune Element green), but once I got used to it, I won't accept any other.

Read the comments :/ Mods arent allowed and the skin is finished as it is. The color scheme is a choice from em3 so you'll have to accept it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, ok... yep I didn't read all the comments
Just wanted to express my opinion...
cheers,
