Description For use with Style XP [link]

This theme is my first time skinning anything. Even making the cursors was a first for me. So, it's important that I get feedback on what I'm missing or what I did wrong.

The wallpaper is a modified version of my Sleek and Sporty wallpaper. [link]

I put a whole lot of time into this, been working on it for a whole week. So I hope you enjoy it.

NOTE: The Explorer Bar (the left-sided bar with the lists of common tasks) is unskinned. Although I have made the skin for it, Style XP doesn't seem to allow me to export it along with the rest of the theme. If you know how to fix this, please let me know.

And let me know if you experience any other bugs or irregularities.

I know a lot of people on forums and stuff that are using your skin. Why? Because it's absolutely FABULOUS.

I never submitted anything to themexp.org. I'm sure it's a rip because I've had my theme ripped on that site before. Can you provide me the link?

Have you considered making a slightly more minimal version of the visual style? I'd really like the for start bar to be a tad thinner...

I love this theme and I must admit that I too keep coming back to it. However there are only 2 things I would change about it:
1. Make a thin-taskbar version as I love thin taskbars (visit [link] for information about thins!)
2. Change the Start Menu username font to a funky one such as FungFoo (DK - let me know if you want this font - tres cool!) which looks kinda like modern oriental script but in English.

Otherwise COOL COOL COOL!

Sweeeet. Only suggestion I have is for inactive windows, a darker title bar would make them less confusing.

zulwarn-forever [2002-08-11 18:16:22 +0000 UTC]

am with the most of the guys ... it needs a taskbar colour ... try to make it going for grey to black .. it will look great and it will look better if u change the buttons in it like puting a dragon or somthing in the windows in the taskbar ... other than this it's great .... but dont take it in a bad way ... i think that it's not better than the styles made by chaninja [link] i think that u must learn from him to make it to the top ... but realy man it's very great ^_^

gizm0 [2002-08-11 07:45:12 +0000 UTC]

i tried the theme out etc, its a really good theme but i don't like the taskbar, maybe make it all black and cut out the grey or something

Thats the way i would like it

I'm not normally a fan of dark themes, but this one has both light and dark in it, and as such, despite being so damn pretty, its actually pretty good to use as well. I find a lot of Visual Styles look good at the expense of basic functionality, but not so with this one. Very impressive!

dark-bear-shmee [2002-07-28 18:37:55 +0000 UTC]

it all looks great, and i'd use it, if my styleXP hadn't expired, but i don't like the min-max-close buttons, they need a little more distinction between them and the top bar.... just black circles... hopefully they have mouse overs and click animations, if not, then they should most definitely be changed... no other problems, the rest looks great.

burstnibbler [2002-07-28 13:24:25 +0000 UTC]

As i am using a shell I dont see the task bar but the windows are great and if i were using explorer the taskbar would certainly suit my needs. this is great werk for your first style xp and am looking forward to seeing more.
