Artist's Note
here it is, i think its finished. based on Aero's extremely cool litestep theme, international. the all-dark themes are still sort of hard to use, since making a black theme in stylebuilder is next to impossible (*.3dcc files are included, since SB cant change the menu font color as far as i can tell), but they're as close to perfect as i can get them, and if you feel like hacking your favorite programs to change the base text colors then you go right ahead. otherwise its all pretty solid. as for the font, if you find it difficult to read in most of the menus and stuff (or if you just have to have your lowercase letters), you can turn on large fonts and it will change some specific fonts to tahoma, and extra large will make all the rest of the fonts a size bigger. dont yell at me asking for this font to be changed but this one not, all the fonts that change to tahoma are linked in SB, sorry. I'm more than happy to hear about any other bugs you guys find, preferably through email. The font used is included in the zip.... have i written enough? okay, have fun :)

Very nicely done port DoorinD, this adds a very important piece to the suite. For those of you who like dark desktops, this is it.

Excellent skin! The caps are a bit harsh when not changed to xtra large. I personally would like to see a start menu where you can read the words "my docs", "my comp" etc. But other than that I love the concept. Excellent variations of the color schemes. Well done. Where can I find the wall?

this is pretty f'in awesome. love the 5 substyles. wish there was something where you can make it choose between Swis, Lucida grande & maybe tahoma, something like that. ***** in substyle #2 & #3 i get a weird mark on my taskbar, looks like a scratch. know anything about this? ***** yeah Doorin, it is always there as in i can switch back and forth and it's still there but it is only for #2 & 3. Does it matter if I have my taskbar at the top of my screen? I don't see how it could make a difference but ya never know.

it looks quite nice but the international layout has such a great potential for a visual style so this could have been done better, sorry.

it's nice, but for soe reason my start panel is appearing about 50px below the taskbar.... very odd... I just checked, and I htink it has something to do with placing the taskbar at the top... Caesar, it's a copy of the taskbar image you're seeing.... if you stretch your taskbar, you'll see... I had the same problem...

nicely done, should of taken a bit more time on it though.
also ive got a question, when i apply the theme the font it came with is not smooth, its allmost as if its set to pixel or no smoothing.

well i think it's hella-tight. A much needed change from carbonpro, lol. I love the optionboxes, and the start menu icon looks sweet.

a good port. holds true to the concepts aero established with his theme. i do have a little bug in the taskbar though, dunno what that's about.

When first load it up (right after I extract it, while other apps are running), my 'puter froze. Could there be a bug? I was afraid you people might use the swiss font, it just never did look good on my screen. But that ain't your fault. On to the windows, maybe it's because it's black or maybe not, but the windows looks "indented". Are the windows broders beveled? It will look better if the whole windows is flat and smooth off at the edge (not to mention being closer to the original look). More noticable detailings on the startpanel may make it look sharper. And the "panel has a gap while on top" bug is acutally fun. If you are going to update it, maybe different world map for the startbutton and startpanel background may make it sweeter. Over all a nice solid adoptation thet has room to improve. Strangely where is the all-black version> But hey the text box are black with black text. Yikes!

looks awesome... one thing though that i did notice in explorer the plus/minus icons are backwards... it's a plus when the path directories are closed and a minus when their open? isn't it supposed to be backwards? i'm thinking it'd be cool if you used arrows but that's my own thought. either way it's a cool looking suite all together... now i just need a WA5 modern skin ??!

Proves that simple is always best with a splash of style.

I love the theme, but for some reason, it keeps slowly removing my icons. First in the quick launch bar, and then in explorer. I can't figure out why.

Totally love it, allthough there should deffinately be oone with ligth interface and dark buttons, and perhaps the military issue with explorer backgrounds also "camo", like brushed metal... that would be a perfect 100 points.... ;-) excellent!

freesample - you need to turn on cleartype. go to display properties, appearance, effects, and change to cleartype. || Caesar - is it always there?|| agent orange - yeah, the other taskbar placements are trouble, i'll work on them for an update.
