Updated to 2.0




Here it is, the VS version of the fantastic Windowblinds skin "Marina" by Koop. This is as close to the original as msstyle permits. It features 3 start menu variations, 7 colour themes to choose from, and YZ dock backgrounds to match.

Cleartype makes this skin titlebar font be smoother, so if you got an LCD i recommend you using it or if you are in CRT's just give it a shot: Cleartype Tuner & Enabler for XP.

UPDATE:
Firefox scrollbar fixed
Startbutton smoothed
Added extra fonts
--Tahoma
--Verdana 7pt

UPDATE 2:
Lots of bug fixes, including the foobar slider bug, thanks to heylove. She was a great help. Big thanks to Koop for all of his help (he's put almost as much time into this VS as I have)

Is it just me or are the fonts uber small when you apply this one? I can barely read them on my screen, I did install the included fonts also, any tips? I really love the look of this style!

ahahah

When I first made this, it had mostly frutiger font. Koop wasnt too happy about that though, since it's supposed to be a direct port.

STATIC_RIPS
Amazing .. this is the only VS to sway me away from my own .. good job
tmf2
Looks good with the exception of the tiny font.
OmART
Oh well, regarding to fonts, its using the tiny font cause thats original XS version, and Idont know, but It might be easy to mod it in stylebuilder to use another font, anywyas the frutiger (caption bar, taskbar) font will look better with cleartype enabled smile.gif

Matt0 tought that icon was generic enough to not get people moody, and I agree, as for another start button and the default ones check out HERE but youll need to convert them to PNG's and then put it into the theme
matt0
My words to omar were:

"This start is generic enough for everyone to use, the people who are picky enough to not like it, are the people who have stylebuilder and usually mod most of their themes anyway."

Wow this is nice, I wanted to use this for WB but I really don't like WB. Nice work to koopey to creating the orginal and nice work to matt0 for porting. thumbs_up.gif
skincritic
thumbs_up.gif great work even tho the windowblind version has some extra things that the msstyle format cant touch, it still gives the original feeling, and that ergo color, OOOOHOOOOhhhhHHH!!!
