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.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great!
I find another bug, not sure it is just my machine or it is in general. See the attached image, all text in my menu is black. It only happens to the "New" second order menu.

Great job, I like it.
Could you please make a Luna element style using the color setting (green) in MSN 8.5 beta?

I cannot create more LE styles. This black version is the only one that I can create.

Great job on this! I loved the older version of the blue that was never finished up, but the black is so much nicer!
I'm not sure if this is limited to what you can edit while creating themes, but in all of the ones I've tried in the last month to two months, the selected text color on the New menu (in the context menu) is the same as the background.
What's strange is that the other sub-context menus work properly. hmmm

"The older version of blue that was never finished up"? All the blue versions are finished.
I cant change the hovered text color in those menu's unfortunately. So I cant change that

But i have one problem: The dialogue field was always beige, and now its grayish... how can i switch that back? That was more fresh in my opinion...

no. you need stylebuilder and resedit as well

No, not really. Its very dull, and takes away form the workspace in general.

It's one of the reasons why I didn't even add a shellstyle in the main release. But people where whining about it on Neowin and that was starting to get annoying.

Excellent piece of work. Been waiting for this for a long time. Just find a small bug over the past few days. See the attached image, the column on top of the explorer shows all orange, even mouse hover on a specific column. The color difference between hover and the not hover isn't contrasty enough to make it distinguishable. If you can fix that, it will great.
Another small bug is at the log on screen, the icon does not show difference between selected and non-selected user icon or mouse hovers.

I have changed the hover image for the columns in the new update. I made the hovered images brighter

Wow! That was fast! Looks great now.
I just figure out another minor bug, sorry. I just find out the scrollbar does not show difference between hover on and non-hover on state. I am not sure this is a minor bug or just the way it is. But I recall the XP theme, when you hover a mouse over the scrollbar, it becomes slightly darker (but not as dark as when it is clicked).
Anyway, it is a really wonderful visual style, and very well refined. Won't change to any other theme anymore.

Nice theme, but the Shellstyles SHOULD be made for this. It may look better without them, but some people like the functionality of Shellstyles, like myself. Other than that bug, it's a very acceptable theme that I'd use for a long time.
