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 :)

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

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. ;)

    • EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
