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THE FOOBAR2000 CONFIG IS OUTDATED AND NOT INCLUDED ANY LONGER.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- Foobar2000 config removed because it's very outdated.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.

An outstanding visual style. I prefer slanxp 2 over slanxp 1 and 3. I tried many skins (windowblinds and visual styles) in the past. This one has the absolute wow-factor and is highly usable. Thank you for sharing your work.

well...
i see, that you updated this skin a lot.
but i dont understand...
why the close, minimalize buttons are not in the center of window header.
this buttons are below from center with approximately 1pixel.
i think, you should have to replace your buttons, or resize your buttons.
...
dont forget, i like your works. only i am maximalist in this things.

I've been looking for a theme to compliment my Samurize config and wallpaper scheme, and SlanXP 2.0 fits in flawlessly.

I did notice, though, that the original SlanXP had a compact start menu (only icons in the right column). This was one of the things that I liked about my old theme. Now, I love SlanXP as is, but would you consider adding the option of a compact start menu to this version?

I installed the fonts in the right spot, but AvantGarde is showing up a lot more pixelated and chunky-looking than it does in your preview image. Is there a way to smooth it out like that, or is it just the way it's being displayed on my monitor? The other fonts appear fine.

Other than that, great style.

I installed the fonts in the correct folder, but I'm noticing that AvantGarde is pretty chunky and pixelated compared to the smooth text that appears in your preview image. Is there a way to make it appear smoothed like that? The other fonts show up fine.

Other than that, great style.

Let me just say this: In no manner of exaggeration, I've been using the same theme for the past two and a half a years. Then, I see this, I knew I had to switch. This is quite a wonderful theme, reminds me of a Ubuntu theme I've seen recently. Props to you, this is a great theme.
