Luna in Whistler 2416, 2419?

Post by Soulfur »

So we know that Whistler 2415 was the first known build to include Luna, as seen here:

So since Whistler 2416-2419 included Watercolor, I thought I'd ask, wouldn't it be logical to assume that there's some way to enable Luna by a registry modification or a hidden file?

A quick look in the Resources folder would show that Luna was not present in any leaked builds until 2428.

To my best knowledge; Lab06 builds mainly focus on the user interface side of things, hence why 2415 shows an early Luna theme. Builds 2416 and 2419 are from the idx01 and 02 labs, branches that mainly focus on distributing recompilations of builds towards TAP/OEM partners, and occasionally public testing. Because the latter two builds are from a different lab (idx), the enhancements from Lab06 builds haven't been implemented until later on.
