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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bug fixes and updates:

14-06-07:
- Fixed classic color scheme.
- Fixed password box in the logon screen. It still had blue corners.

17-06-07:
- Added the new blue active-button. Active-buttons now looks different then hovered-buttons.
- Changed the HotTracking color to the correct shade of orange.
- Fixed the blue shadow that was behind the "Welcome" text in the logon.
- Fixed other minor color "bugs"

18-06-07:
- Added a shellstyle cause the demand was high.
- Made the hover in the columns in detail views more noticable.
- Some minnor unnoticable color changes.

20-06-07:
- Updated the shellstyle text and arrow colors
- Fixed the useraccount dialog colors in the shellstyle

23-06-07:
- Fixed the blue searchpane to black
- Changed the brightness from "pressed button". It fits more with the theme now.

Nope sorry for my english :\ I mean 'to fat' in the vertically size.
I dont need superslim tiny taskbars/upper win frames, but you one is imho really fat But I like the colors and your prof (art)work. I am photographer. Fat bars/winframes "eating" my 'job area' on desktop.

Please think about the realy necessary vertically size of taskbar and of upper window frame. I mean, its "more mm" to big for the fonts and icons in the taskbar on your screenshot (for example).

It can be little bit smaller with exactly the same usability.

I already thought about that There's a compact style included in this skin. Right click desktop > "Properties" > "Appearance" > then at color scheme choose "Black Compact". That style has a smaller titlebar and a smaller taskbar

Let me know what you think about it

This has been SO worth the wait. I wasn't sure I liked the orange start button at first, but the more I use it the more it grows on me. Lovely work.

Jamush In reply to chocolatemuffins [2007-06-15 14:40:33 +0000 UTC]

haha thanks Great to hear! Lots of people want a green startbutton but I'm glad the orange one is liked as well

BeeHaa In reply to ??? [2007-06-15 13:13:13 +0000 UTC]

very very fine. looks good. BUT taskbar is unnecessarily broadly. Upper window frame is also unnecessarily broadly.

Jamush In reply to BeeHaa [2007-06-15 13:16:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks What do you mean with "broadly"? If you mean to "shiny" it has the same "shinyness" as LE v5.1 Blue.

in my opinion the blue version is better than black, but black is better than all vistamod.

ThreatDown In reply to ??? [2007-06-15 01:22:11 +0000 UTC]

Amazing theme, only two suggestions, one is that the theme feels unresponsive because when you hover over a button that is already slected, unlike the previoys LE themes it does not change at all (Before the color around the button would change color) which at least bothers me. The other is the flag on the start button does not look very good because the left corner blends right into the orange.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Jamush In reply to ThreatDown [2007-06-15 10:17:47 +0000 UTC]

The startbutton looks OK here cause I clearly see a shadow between the 2 orange parts. They dont blend here. As for the "active" button it's intended to be like that. I might change it later but I'm not sure though.

Oh, what about coloring the close button orange like the start button?

Jamush In reply to JohnDoePyrate [2007-06-15 06:32:44 +0000 UTC]

Why? The red button in blue isnt green either right?

True, I just thought it'd look cool.

JohnDoePyrate In reply to ??? [2007-06-14 21:49:43 +0000 UTC]

Sweet! If you want a shellstyle and you have LE5 you can just copy the folder called "Shell" from "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\LE5" to your Luna Element v5.1 Black folder and it will work and it will look awesome. I love the logon btw. Any chance of releasing a skin that uses buttons like it's shutdown button? Oh and the welcome text still has a blue shadow.

I already had a mockup for those 1 month ago. I compile those but I have to make some buttons for them first

xmovingpicturesx In reply to ??? [2007-06-14 21:18:41 +0000 UTC]

This is simply amazing. I've always preferred the black version, so I had to resort to using LE5. Could you use the default (green) start button? That would make this perfect.

Jamush In reply to xmovingpicturesx [2007-06-15 06:31:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. And no, cause that doesnt fit in with the rest of the theme.

I have tor ecant. Switched to 120DPI and the Start menu went straight to hell. Truncated words - all the crap that have always plagued the Luna Element line.

Thanks Capricorn (and em3). It's looking great.

There is a very, very small bug though:
EdgeLightColor = 241 239 226
This is still 'creamy'. This should be set for example to 240 240 240.

A BIG "Thank You" for for finishing it. I have only one little suggestion: Could you change the orange startbutton and arrow in the start-menu to green ones? Otherwise, it will look a little bit like the "ZUNE"-Theme from MS.

Jamush In reply to Lustmusket3000 [2007-06-14 19:49:44 +0000 UTC]

Thanks and you're welcome

I wont make mods. People always want different startbuttons, progressbars etc..
I dont want to sounds hars or anything but I just want people to use it as it is.
