Thanks to em3 for giving me permission to finish and release this skin.
And thanks for the help while I was working on the skin.

As a long time LE fan, it's very cool to release my own version and share it with the rest. Some parts are made by em3 though so I cant take credit for those parts.
Anyways thanks em3 for letting me do this!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Go to "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes" and create a new folder called "LE Black".
Put the *.msstyle into that folder.

To use this theme you need to patch the Windows system file uxtheme.dll. You can read about how to do that here: [link]

If you want to use the included Logon place 'logonui_black.exe' in C:\ and run the included logonui_install.reg.

Bugs
Before reporting any bugs try and think of and explaination why the bug occurs and don't assume immediately it's a VS problem. Here are 2

"bugs" I know of:
* Black text background for checkboxes in some applications. (Application bug)
* In Firefox the scrollbar glyph doesn't change color on hover. (Firefox bug)
* Multi row taskbar does not look good. (Theme)

Modification:
For personal use only.

Don't forget to let me know what you think :) This theme is concidered finished, so if you don't like it, don't use it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bug fixes and updates:

14-06-07:
- Fixed classic color scheme.
- Fixed password box in the logon screen. It still had blue corners.

17-06-07:
- Added the new blue active-button. Active-buttons now looks different then hovered-buttons.
- Changed the HotTracking color to the correct shade of orange.
- Fixed the blue shadow that was behind the "Welcome" text in the logon.
- Fixed other minor color "bugs"

18-06-07:
- Added a shellstyle cause the demand was high.
- Made the hover in the columns in detail views more noticable.
- Some minnor unnoticable color changes.

20-06-07:
- Updated the shellstyle text and arrow colors
- Fixed the useraccount dialog colors in the shellstyle

23-06-07:
- Fixed the blue searchpane to black
- Changed the brightness from "pressed button". It fits more with the theme now.

Unfortunately I can't. I don't use Windows XP any more so I'm unable to give full support for these themes.

same problem as envyouraudience. Using WinXP SP3. I used newest patcher v8 than create LE directory and theme does not show up in Display dialog. (i can see in Themes directory that every theme has its own "*.theme file" but LEB it doesnt...)
thanks for advice

The *.theme file isn't necessary as it holds configs for different sounds, cursors, colours and such. What happens when you double click *.msstyle file?

Hm, then I don't know what's going on. I also can't fix it on my end as I'm not using Windows XP any more.

Perhaps a stupid question but; have you patched your system for it to allow 3rd party themes?

And thanks! :D
