Description A professional theme made for developers and XP users who are at their PC for long periods.

Added a totally new sub-style:

XPMC Induztry.

A dark theme with black widgets, but not too dark. Most dark themes before too much over time; XPMC Induztry has purposely been left with light elements (such as the main window and all 3D area's). A perfect mix!

- Normal and compact versions.
- Matching wallpaper for each.
- Simple and elegant shellstyles.

See the readme for more info.

And more importantly: I hope you enjoy using this theme!

(Note: XPMC final will be released within the next month. It will have colour variations of both XPMC and XPMC Industry, along with matching Winamp and Trillian skins).

* I highly recommend using ClearType.

Great theme simple, elegant but easy on the eye.

Any chance for an icon set?

Yeah, can't wait till you upload the final version of this... been using it solid for the last year. Hate to say it but the winamp skin by frostedflames sucks, and I'd love to see your final package released with the extras included. I appreciate your effort at something you give away for free to so many people, you have a kind spirit.

I really like this theme and its subtle pixel bevels. It's certainly ergonomic!

However there are a few dealbreakers that I've pointed out here: [link]

brilliant theme.

i really like the Induztry colors, but dislike the rounded corners of it.

how about the classic look with the Induztry colors?

OK, maybe "bad form" to reply to my own post, but I found two matching Trill skins, in case anyone is looking:

Simply XPMC Induztry - [link]

Still would love to see the final version of XPMC, though.

Hello there !
Great theme ! Just one question : is it possible to modify some file to have *ALL* fonts in tahoma, not only in the explorer or windows, but also especially on the taskbar.

phusion [2005-12-27 02:30:21 +0000 UTC]

ah very clean style here.

i don't think i'd change anythign in it. only minor bug i found was that the default window size of "save as" dialogues truncates the bottom left icon (usually network icon) but you can resize the window and it saves its position so that is no big deal.

maybe some more colors?

I have been looking for a new Visual Style for a while and am exactly what you describe (a graphic artist who stares at his PC all day long) so this one is perfect on the eyes.

Just one query though, is there still plans for a Trillian skin? I'd really like to see it happen

Excellent skin, easily the longest-standing skin I have applied.
I ended up remaking it for my phone - just wanted to get in touch to see if you minded me posting it, full credit to you of course!
tdf @ ezrs dot com if you want to go over it

Again, nice work.

do you know how hard it is to find a simple and beautiful visual style, whose detail is clear and sharp - never excessive - throughout?

nearly impossible.
Top work with this style.
