Everafter v3 Visual Style for Windows XP by WB Skinner

Hi folks!

The response to Everafter has been great so before I describe the package, I'd like to thank everyone who gave me constructive and helpful input.. at Neowin, Deviantart, Bfarber, and IOE. Thats what kept me going on this project when I was ready to scrap it.

Everafter is a bright and original skin, easy to use but still has a unique 'feel' about it. This release (next one is final) includes several noticable changes:

- New tray

- New taskband buttons

- New caption buttons (close, min, max, etc)

- New tabs

- New Glyphs

..as well as several minor changes to alot of parts.

Also v3 has 2 new colors for a total of 3:

Oluv : Olive

Skye : Blue

PB : Peanut Butter

All the colors have thier own shellstyles and a compact-menu option for a total of 6 variations. I've included 6 wallpapers, 2 for each color scheme (1280x1024 jpg)

The final version of Everafter (v4) will include 2 more colors, custom icons, a winamp classic skin, a rainlendar skin and a sysmetrix skin... if anyone is interested in adding anything else to that package, please contact me!

please note the icons I used in this screenshot are not included. They were done by one of the skinning greats: Chadamus ... from his H2so4 (olive square ones) and Indemnity (all the rest) projects.. get them here: chadamus

- Enjoy! :)

Nice, tasty and minimal :)

I'm so glad I downloaded this and applied it cause the screenshot doesn't do it justice.

This theme is absolutely beautiful!

So much attention has been paid to detail, and you have obviously put many, many hours into this masterpiece.

I love the things like the unicorn on the taskbar tabs, the start menu detail, the plaque-like tab and toolbar buttons, the programs list in the start menu.

The scrollbars are beautiful and the tabs and toolbars are perfect.

The shellstyle is just omg, so nice and so original.

This is the best original visual style I have ever seen and you have done so much work WB Skinner.

I love this piece of art! thanks!

[WB Skinner]

thanks everyone! I think the download works just fine right now chris! :) ...and Saranity..yes I hope people take the time to apply it and give it a test drive ...maybe I will change the screenshot at DA to show more of the details.. :)

some trouble with deviant ... can you please give us another link ?

or attrach file here ? :huh: :huh: :blink: :blink:

[WB Skinner]

suicide ..yes I noticed the download does not work every once and awhile.. Try again in a few minutes.. seems to be hit-and-miss over at DA with my file.. I notified the DA staff about it. Unfortunately my own site is down for a couple days for a server upgrade and the file is too large to attach here (i think? - 1.3megs) Maybe I'll post it at bfarber.com and then update the thread..

Also Bmac, I'll probably post a better screenshot at DA shortly :)

[WB Skinner]

actually here: this shows some of the new parts the screenshot doesn't ;)

...and I posted the file at bfarber.com.. if you have problems with the Dev download try this one : Everafter v3 at bfarber
