Artist's Note
Pure BBX Mercury skinning, here. Everything is redone, from the Shell32 to the Objectdock icons. This looks kinda like a 1940's or 50's Sci-Fi retro theme. Nothing revolutionary, but its a smooth style, and the best XP port of William Bart's award-winning BBX Mercury for OS X.
VS: BBX Mercury X by Shalayer (amazing port!)
Icons: MMX Mercury by Mikkel Madsen (mmicons.com)
Objectdock: Mercury skin
Rainlendar: Shadow (also available in BBX skin)
Winamp3: MMD3
Winamp 2.9: BBX Mercury
QCD Player: BBX
Sysmetrix: BBX
Wallpaper: from the BBX Mercury Collection, by William Bart (find these on Wincustomize.)
Shell32: BBX Mercury by GrandMufti
YZtoolbar: MMX Mercury (HWG)
CursorXP: BBX Mercury (not visible in screenshot)
Comments/Criticism welcome, as usual.
By the way, if anyone can find me the "BBX Max 2" wallpaper (in Imtoomuch's screenshot), I'll buy them dinner . . . next time they're in Toronto :-) NOTE:::: MERCURY BBX LOGON SCREEN AVAILABLE AT: XPthemes.com.
NOTE: This version of BBX Mercury is a direct port from the OSX version. There are 2 vesions, one for OS 9, and one for OSX. This version is based on OSX. See it on Shalayer's site, Plexal.

Cool, but the 128x128 trash icon would have made it buttah. and start using smooth edges on those screenfonts

sorry that it tooked so long for my review. but i thought long about it: a whole suite, right? First the one thing that disturbs me. The little planet (maybe for your ie??) icon in the right of your dock. hmn. i don´t know what i should say. you know.. i am not a big fan of 3d art and silver effects and all that. but that doesn´t matter. it is your desktop. and for that it is just awesome to see that people helped together to make a suite even with a shell. AWESOME! but i cannot give you more points. custo 100% you´ve skinned every app a normal person needs. but. no skin is from you. i am sorry. no offense. YEAH FEATURED !!!!!

que tal vc aprender outra lingua, alem de usar o ingles? e me desculpe, soh uma mente doentia para achar que eu e o juniperus somos a mesma pessoa... me desculpe, mas vc forçou demais nessa. Alem do mais, a internet eh livre em termos de linguagem, nao eh apenas o seu ingles que impera. Tenho tanto direito em escrever no meu idioma quanto vc no seu. Agora, se vc nao se esforça pra apredender o meu idioma, pq eu deveria fazer isso por vc ? Grata e ateh mais ver :)

Nice theme, I like this... seems genuinely quite useable & functional while remaining sleek and sexy.

Awesome. It's a shame you didn't post a link to download the visual styles and icons. Very good nonetheless.

Wynton, you're right . . . I suppose I need to go into the registry to get the 128x128 trash size . . .
BTW everyone, wincustomize wallpaper section is down, and that is basically the only place you can get BBX wallpapers (they have ALOT) until the bbxstudio site is completed Download the Wincustomize SkinBrowser that is offered there (I think you need membership, but it's worth it.) It's easy to use, works justl ike your web browser with some cool features, and allows you to browse and download all wallpapers on the site. The download id free, though it is shaerware. Not too costly, but it's good even if you want to get some hard-to-find walls.
MOJO: I'm just showcasing the skins :-)
IMTOOMCH: You like Red Lobster? :-)
WOW, this made featured!!! Thank you very much :-) UPDATE::: Ok, then it's steak at Zorro's. :-) Victor: He also made it for OSX. He got permission . . visit his site and you'll see 2 versions....
as I said, I put those players ob to SHOWCASE the skins, nothing more. This version of BBX is a direct port from the OSX version. Shalayer released this after he released the port from OS 9
