awesome job on this, saint dark. using it now, probably for a long time too. smile.gif

edit: the font makes the download dialog look rather.. ugly. i don't want to change the font, since i'm afraid of throwing the caption bars and stuff out of whack. :\

Woohoo! Using it now!

Because the original background color is light grey, its only purple when the mouse is over and the text color cant be changed in that actions

and btw, mods, please, edit the first thread post too with the following link, remove the current one:

This is incredible. But, would it be possible to have the fonts just one notch larger? Thanks alot.

Sorry, but the fonts cant be larger because:

1.- The caption bar size is very small, a larger font canīt be displayed correctly

2.- The font was designed to that size in mind, any larger size, /xept some xtra large sizes) looks terribly bad

3.- This is a minimalistic theme
