None of my DeviantArt downloads are working anymore and the administration hasn't responded yet.
All my downloads are still available at [link]

Ok..i'm new with this(guess you never heard that before^^)
I just have one question, how do you create your own theme in aston?
I got the basic aston shell, with three theme alternatives...so my question is this; do you have to download an additional program to create a theme?
I would really appreciate an answer

Hi RobinHM,
If you're looking to install new themes for AstonShell, it's a pretty simple procedure
1) Download an AstonShell Theme (zipped) from DeviantArt, AstonShell, (or my site: [link] ).
2) Unzip the file into your \Aston\Themes\ folder.
3) Within Aston, activate your Theme-Manager (set as one of the default icons in the left tool-bar), and then select the newly installed theme from the list.
4) This should have any new themes installed.
If you're looking to create your own unique theme from scratch, I recommend you check out SacRat's excellent tutorial at the AstonShell web-site. It's the definitive authority on the subject. This does entail a whole lotta work, but it's always worth the knowledge and experience gained.
Hope this helps!

I my God!... I just downloaded it, this one is simple ASTONISHING!!!
Since I like most the themes related with high technology, I had chosen "Regeneration", coz' I like the way how it looked.
But after watching this 1... I simple loooooooooooove it !!!!

heretic-X, make sure you're using the latest Aston build, and have the Aclock plugin installed and enabled. Not really sure why AltDesk isn't coming up, although the skins are available here at [link] or at AstonShell's website [link]
Lemme know how it works!

hey just also let you kn0w that i think there is a bug in y0ur theme, it shuts down ar0und 4 h0urs of running and it makes you restart y0ur comp...and about the clock....heh i f0rgot to install aclock when i got it >_O''

mrbiotech In reply to heretic-X [2004-04-28 04:09:19 +0000 UTC]
That's not a theme issue, heretic-X. It's a plugin. I recommend you selectively disable single plugins to isolate the problem. I suspect that AstAmp may be the culprit, or if you're also running Amonitor (which causes mine to lock up every time). Running PNG intensive themes on older machines seems to choke 'em up.

heretic-X In reply to mrbiotech [2004-04-28 13:07:53 +0000 UTC]
hmm it might be amonitor then because, you said it l0cks your comp up....and i have a very new computer, a 2004 Dell..and your Ast Amp is a skinned progie you have done...let me kn0w when y0u kn0w what it is, all i kn0w in 4 hours or so it says run time error and then it goes all blank and then My Documents come up 0.o

YUP! That's the exact problem I get whenever attempting to load Amonitor! I'm not the only one with the problem! Kills my Windows immediately, and then opens up My Documents. Brand new Toshiba Laptop, too. Y'know, the funny thing is it doesn't do it on my older 1Ghz Athlon W2K desktop. I wonder Amonitor just has problems with recent XP builds?
Regardless, I've notified the plugin developer through the Aston forums. Hopefully we'll get a version that works, 'cuz it's a great plugin to skin. Pity I haven't been able to run it stably. Thanks for keepin' your eyes on this one, heretic-x!

Nieman, thanks for your extremely generous comments! Was a fun one to make in LiteStep, and porting it over to Aston became easy since the introduction of PNG images. I think it turned out way better than originally envisioned due to suggestions and careful prodding from friends.
Musicala10, Some crappy drawers are excellent skinners. Get the hankerin' for skinnin'? Just give it a shot; sometimes you'll amaze yourself (best advice every given to me, so I share it with you).

Fucking Beautiful!
I love the graphics, the textures,.. everthing. Great colors, awesome layout, and incredible navigation... sometimes I go for the more graphically intense I like it a lot. Love the WP that you made for it as well... good shot! My favorite are the items in the bottom corners: the clock and media player controller.. out of the way, and look good, and they're the two most important items to me

Thanks for the comments and suggestions! Smanic, I'll take a finer look at that clock (thanks!).

That's pretty clean looking, where did you get the LiteStep theme from? I'm running LS and would like to take a gander.

Hi, Richard!
Going to see this baby in action.... 100% completed.
All works perfect, there isn't any bug. Nice animation and awesome toolbars. Great port to the Aston. The only thing i would fix is the Aclock skin (round edges are ragged)
