new xp theme by me! (pics inside)

[Corrado]

hello nice people, i've been slaving over this lil xp theme for a day or two now and it is nearly nearing completion. I just need some help on a few things (like how the hell do you change the font colour of inactive windows when they are shown on the startbar). I wanna get a release out as soon as possible so you can enjoy it (if you like it that is :D)

any critisicm or feedback would be welcome, except the kind that is like "your themes suck, go back to sucking off your dad" type things...you know the ones ;)

no need to flame here. even though your jpeg compression is really REALLY horrible, your theme actually looks like a keeper. i like it. maybe you could just make the start / taskbar buttons a little bit brighter, and the window buttons a little bit darker. so that their colors would match and all. good job anyway :)

[Corrado]

sorry about that =/

i tried to compress it using normal xp, but the file was 500 bytes too big to upload here (doh!) Same with pshop so i had to use really terrible settings.

if someone can gimme some webspace, i can pass on a better quality image :)

as for the colours, they match pretty well when you use it imo, screenie doesnt show it tho

Looks good man, looking forward to it :D

This certainly deserves a commendation. Go ahead and complete the theme, atleast you deserve high praises for keeping the original WinXP theme intact. Why should window users have anything to do with Aqua theme which is a Mac theme and belongs to Mac users. If these demented folks want an Aqua theme on their window desktops, then I humbly suggest to all of them to be kind enough to switch to Mac. Windows should only look like windows, anything else is just a blind imitation. Win Xp themes are just beautiful as they are and there is no need to copy some other OS theme.

Purush You are 100% right to your opinon and I respect that.

I personally think that OS X looks better than XP, but I think the operations of Windows XP is much better Thats why I've been editing the Aquablue theme. You obviously don't feel the same but other might. ;)
