So.. almost a year after I've started working on this skin the 1st style is finally done. This version contains the Blue substyles with a "Modern" and a "Classic" taskbar. This skin is based on the skin called "Watercolor". It's a skin that was being used in the beta's of XP.
I wanted to make my own skin so tornado5 aka em3 told me that I should try and make a new version of Watercolor. This is the outcome.
Extract the folder called "WE" to "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes". Right click the desktop > properties > appearance > then from the first drop select "Watercolor Emico" From the 2nd drop downlist you can make a choice between the "Modern" and the "Classic" taskbar. In the 3rd drop downlist you can make a choice between a "Normal" or a "Compact" start panel.
To use this theme you need to patch the Windows system file uxtheme.dll. You can read about how to do that here: [link]
"bugs" I know of: *Some palet frames arent drawn the correct way.(Application bug) *In some webbrowsers the buttons might be resized the wrong way. (Browser bug) * Multi row taskbar does not look good. (Theme)
06-06-08: - Fixed the palet frames - Fixed the palet caption buttons - Fixed the black text on the side taskbars to white - Changed the way the taskbar image is being stretched when using multiple rows. - New toolbar and placebar images
14-06-08: - Fixed the toolbar gripper in Blue Classic - Fixed the vertical toolbar grippers in Blue Modern and Classic - Fixed the placebar button in Blue Modern
If you feel like contributing to this skin with application skins then go ahead and make them. All you have to do is ask me for permission by email with a screenshot. My email address is: makeshift.grey@gmail.com.
Credits go out to all the beta testers. Credits also go out to tornado5 aka em3. Thanks to Des and Scirwode for helping me out with the shellstyles. Thanks to euphoricallydead for notifying me about some bugs after the first release.

We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".
The butter legion- a socialist movement/mass colab project I started, to trigger artistic change and evolution in Da artists (mainly my watchers), to make them more active and dedicated on DA. Now 170 people strong and growing... A "dangerous cult"? a "new religion"? "artistic version of fight club" or "communist movement"? You decide!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
