They use WindowBlinds and IconPackager technology to do this.
Here's a screenshot:
You have to have a Gamecube to get these. I'm not sure if it's only applicable to Nintendo Europe or not. Will do more digging.

Looks like Nintendo Europe has released their Super Mario Sunshine visual style / icon suite.

lil to bright for me, but its still a very nice skin.
wonder if this could become a trend, id be awesome to see some more professional skins for games like Starcraft Ghost or something more techish. |

Yeah, in my copy of Mario Sunshine (released today) there's a Nintendo VIP 24:7 card with a pin numnber on it, I've now got access to the theme, screensaver and players guide. I've also got 455 stars (200 for regging, 5 for the visit and 250 for Mario)   . Now, lets see if I can grab the gamecube theme...I'm gonna install Windowblinds and this theme on Virtual PC on my Mac, that's a true test of Windowblinds performance skills

Ok, Frogboy, I've downloaded the themes, they were in a zip with 3 files, "SuperMarioSunshine.sdtheme", "SuperMarioSunshine800.sdtheme" and "SuperMarioSunshine1280.sdtheme". What are these?
Heh. I also regestered my gamecube, I'm up to almost a thousand points now, they can be used to "buy" things from their site such as screensavers for PC and Mac, T-Shirt transfers, Wallpapers etc. |

Visual style is just a type of skin - GUI type skin.
I like the term visual style because it helps distinguish between a MP3 player skin and a complete GUI skin. |

Aahhh, now come on.. That style is excellent. Exactly what I want to see from a professional skin. If I can get more like that tell me where, and what apps do I need??
As for Mario Sunshine VS, someone must have acidentally hosted that for a few hours inadvertantly allowing people to download it by mistake. Hint, hint. IM me at fil1976@hotmail.com if you have accidentally done this. |

Frogboy, are we allowed to ask for this theme from the members who have it?

These are the wallpapers I have in my "treasure chest" from Nintendo as a gesture of goodwill:
 I also have the Gamecube and Mario themes as well as something called "Nintendo Desktop Manager" so I guess that controls the themes. Here's a list of the goodies I have by default: http://idisk.mac.com/dazzla/Public/Gamecube.jpg |
