Black Mesa

download @ deviantART | mirror

And yes, there's a compact taskbar + start menu version included!

Update: I fixed the black text in the detail box in the shellstyle. It's now white, as it should be.

I like it - simple and a good shade of gray that can go w/ lots of stuff. :D

I can give you a hand in the shellstyle :) I'll take a look after work for you, if it's not in the uifile as 0,0,0 then it'll be in as "black".

Real nice work on the theme as well (Y)

I thought it was going to be about half-life. But nice vs none the less.

Nice! I've never used any "dark" styles before, but I like this one. Very simple and pleasant looking. I switch between styles every now-and-then but I always default back to Watercolor. I'll be keeping this one for a while though ;) Great work!

Those caption buttons are great. Too bad it's dark or I might have used it. Only other thing that's not that great is the start button IMHO. Maybe I'll try doing a personal mod in the future. :p Great job!

[UnnamedStone]

i like it, use it now :)

[christracy]

this is definitely a keeper VS good work. i too thought this was related to hl. whoops :laugh:

[Nocstar]

Yeah i thought this was going to be about half life as well. Not a bad visual style actually. Im downloading! :)

[Blaster]

This is an awesomely smooth theme! Good job! (Y)

[habtro]

[kombolcha]

very nice, but why are there two "shellstyle.dll" files in the zip?

It's the only way I could get the shellstyle to show up in the compact version as well. If I learn of another way to link 2 styles to the same shellstyle file, I'll do that. :)

I'm having trouble finding a nice wallpaper to match this theme. Valkrye, any ideas?

Eh, it was looking good until I saw the start menu and close/minimize buttons. Too colorful. Doesn't match the theme at all. Otherwise looks great.
