This is my favorite winstyle!!
but i've just a little problem :
I use a french version of winxp pro and the name of the Start button is "DΓ©marrez" (french word for Start). When I use this style I just see "arrez" on the left of the button and this is quite dirty
if anyone know how to fix it, tell me...

IMHO, it shows some resemblance to the LongHorn XP Theme, but that's just the preview.

I've been looking for this theme for a long time, since I've been using the Winamp skin ever since I found it off of 2advanced.com 's site itself. Great work; it really fits the 2A style.

Well, when you make a 'theme' its generally based on what you got the theme from, and seeing as how the whole 2Advanced website uses Arial, i used Arial.

The font sizes are small because i like them small. Switch over to the 2Alarge variant theme to get the taskbar and caption bar heights to a more common size.

devninja [2002-03-12 07:40:41 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, some of the font sizes are a bit messed up. Otherwise I really like the theme. You should move over to a Tahoma or Lucida Console font instead of Arial.

You have to edit your explorer.exe amd take out the start text and the little picture. Next time i update the theme, i might edit the theme file so you don't have to do this, but until then...

Finally we're getting some nice, original skins here on DevArt, not just different colored Lunas. The screenshot, however, is incomplete... You should show a window or something.

That's not exactly what I meant, I wanted it incorporated into the explorer shell, so it was actually in every open window of 'my computer' and 'ie' and such between the toolbars. Thanks for tryin anyways

~devninja - You can use it like i have actually I've done nothing more than place Winamp straight across the top of the screen, and just stretched the playlist out as far as i could to get it to fit between the small icon in the left corner and the close/minimise/restore buttons on the right hand side.

Thanks alot again for all the comments too, i didnt think it would be very popular to be honest

Easily the 2nd best skin I've seen. It could be a tad more complete, and not so small but I'll live. I'm using it right now and loving it.

Great job, I like the start button/menu especially. True I tend to like the lighter stuff, but this looks really professional

I was already using the winamp skin, so I thought something looked familiar when I first laid eyes on this visual style. I wish I could use winamp in the format you have it in in that pic, as part of the explorer, right below the explorer title bar, above the file/edit/view/favorites/tools/help buttons. Now THAT would be cool.

Thanks for all the great comments people, i've been having a think about making another theme - based on the new HSV GTO/GTS www.hsv.com.au - Maybe.

Yeah, Live in Shanghai, China is a great track, you can find it on www.audiogalaxy.com - plus theres heaps of others.

Sweet, looks great, and even better that you've actually beaten out all the pr0n on Today's Deviously Rated Deviations.

Hm, what's this I see? Paul Oakenfold Live in Shanghai China? I'm a huge Oakenfold fan and I don't have that track...

Kindof neat looking. I don't really dig the font, but it's no big deal.

Keep it up.
