*visual style
*Shellstyle

For alternatives shell, Unzip the file that corrisponds with the font you choose,Place the unzipped folder named "Shell" in the folder with the visual style.
The default font for this theme is Corbel. It requires cleartype to be activate to be displayed correctly. To activate cleartype, go to display properties, appearance, then click on effects. Choose cleartype under "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts"

Beautiful theme. As far as the lack of comments go, yeah, Customize.org doesn't seem the same anymore.

it seems to me that the caption buttons could be closer together and also moved to the right a bit...also, if you made the start button smaller, meaning keep the existing graphic but lessen the space on either side of it, it would look better imo.

very nice on a whole tho. definitely one of those vs's that would go great with the tango patcher.

Nice theme mate
I have downloaded like 20 themes in the past couple of months and this is definitely in my top 2

my only quibble is that when I highlight text i sometimes can't see the text
e.g. on encyclopedia dramatica

If you put up any more themes etc. please drop me a note

Hi, i Like it alright, but it's hard to distinct a window over another maximized open window in the back. It's confusing! But still, i like it. Good work. Mybe just give it a lighter window color?
