Artist's Note

A smooth visual style in a choice of two colours (Marine Blue or Moss Green) with three modes:
- Standard - optimised for horizontal taskbars
- Compact - as standard with a narrow start panel places list (only fully supported at 96dpi with short logoff button captions)
- Vertical - optimised for vertical taskbars

The visual style has the following features:
- Fully customised 'All Programs' Start Panel item.
- Specific background for use by the Alt-Tab Task Switcher Powertoy.
- Rounded scrollbars (without any display problems at small sizes).
- Rounded progress bars (let me know if this causes problems in any applications).
- Support for both horizontal and vertical taskbars at any height or width
- None of the resizing or display problems with small windows often seen with the use of a control box background.
- Window dimensions and fonts can be customised via 'Advanced Appearance' options without causing problems. Please note that Title Bar sizes over 30 or below 19 are not fully supported.
- Standard DPI modes supported (96 and 120).

	report mailmerge says: This is a really brilliant skin. There's so many beautifulsubtle elements to it that make it unique, but nothing overboard. I love the Start Menu, but the All Programs doesn't work for me. Otherwise, I think it's great! Sun, Jun 17th at 07:07am (2 years ago)
	report -_- says: I've seen an older version of this theme before, it's pretty nice :) Sun, Jun 17th at 07:24am (2 years ago)
	report eragonian says: Not minimal, but superbly built. The vs you have created is good in terms of the end product! Sun, Jun 17th at 07:33am (2 years ago)

	report zoomZOOM says: The best VS I've ever seen. Good job. Fri, Aug 31st at 11:36am (2 years ago)
	report papa_miguel says: I downloaded this theme, ran the executable, and nothing changed. What am I missing? Thu, Oct 11th at 09:29am (2 years ago)
	report liquidstupid says: Miquel - you have to go into your appearance to set the new theme if you have another one installed. Btw, North - the sign of a great theme is not having to think about what you're doing... you aren't a pro by chance, are you? Anyway, brilliant stuff. Fri, Nov 16th at 01:28am (2 years ago)
	report shadowslip says: Very nice skin. I'll be using this for a long while many thanks ThemeNorth :D Wed, May 28th at 03:45pm (1 year ago)
