Description
This is a complete remake of my first visual style SlanXP.It's a very dark theme that works good for us with very bright LCD monitors.
Each substyle is a font option.
SlanXP1 = AvanteGarde
SlanXP2 = Tahoma
SlanXP3 = Calibri
THE FOOBAR2000 CONFIG IS OUTDATED AND NOT INCLUDED ANY LONGER.
Any questions about Visual Styles? See my FAQ first!

UPDATE 7: (19/8 - 2007)
- Minor fixes to the captionbuttons.
- Blank shellstyle removed (It isn't needed).
- Foobar2000 config removed because it's very outdated.
UPDATE 6: (18/4 - 2007)
-Captionbar fixes. Resize problem fixed. This also makes the captionbuttons a lot more compact.
-Blank shellstyle included.
-Small update on the instructions.htm file for the foobar2000 config. (About the foobar2000.cfg file.)
Update 5:
-Foobar2000 instructions improved with screenshots too. See the instructions.htm file. I can't explain better than this, so there's no use asking me for help.
Foobar2000 is a very advanced music player for advanced users. If you can't get it to work after following the instructions I suggest that you use something else instead.
Update 4:
-Fixed bug when taskband buttons are collected as a group.
-More compact "all programs" menu.
-Other minor fixes.
-Better instructions and a config file for the Foobar2000 setup.
Update 3:
-CaptionButtons back to normal. Margins fixed. >_<
Update 2:
-CaptionButton background removed. Startbutton size increased.
-New wallpaper.
-Foobar2000 Config included. (Only code and images. You need Track Info Mod and Single Columns Playlist.)
Update 1:
-CaptionButton, frame and progressbar fixes.
-Calibri substyle.
-Startbutton fix on the Tahoma substyle.
-Other small fixes.

Might you have any FireFox skins that you'd recommend to go with this theme? My current FF skin worked well with my AlienGUIse theme, but not so much with this.
I suppose you use Opera, though, don't you?

I love this theme, but haven't got "Windows XP". Will you port this version to "Windows Vista" without the coloured start button. I know version 3 is for "Vista" but like version to 2 better.

I came across your work via Rainmeter and just put in on my machine. SlanXP3 is exactly what I've been wanting for a long time. Thanks.

psobel [2009-01-06 22:46:12 +0000 UTC]
Great visual style. My single issue is that the color of the taskbar does not continue if you have (like me) a double width. If I'm not making myself clear, just unlock your taskbar, and drag it up (assuming you have the taskbar on the bottom), and you will see a much darker color appear below the single width.
Would it be possible to fix this oversight? I apologize if this has been brought up before, I didn't read every page of comments.

Any chance of making this for vista, but so it still highlights the minimize and cross buttons with that yellow square, If so please do and i thank you loads because the other vista one wasn't good at all.

Very very very nice. Clean, compact, slick, and definitely not gaudy like most other XP themes. Good work. Using it now.
