Watercolor Emico: Olive

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.

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

How to install:

Extract the folder called "WE Olive" to "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes".
Right click the desktop > properties > appearance > then from the first drop select "Watercolor Emico: Olive"
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. (Now idea how to fix this yet)
* In some webbrowsers the buttons might be resized the wrong way. (Browser bug)
* Multi row taskbar does not look good in the Modern substyle. (Theme)

Modification:
For personal use only.

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

Bug fixes and updates:

16-04-09:
- Added the shellstyle

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

Wallpaper that is used in the preview is Grass Rainstorm.

Nope. There wont be any other color versions. If there where other color version to be made, it would've been made by me.

Nice VS... I'd love to see a dark version, maybe a sleek black version. That would be cool too. (I like dark stuff, but I look nothing like someone who does)

Something like this: [link] ? Or do you mean a dark version of Olive? If you mean the latter then no. The Emico series are finished. There won't be more color variations. Also, I personally hate Emico: Olive.. It took me longer to finish then the other version because of that reason. I was totally bored while working on this one.

Yes, I have your Emico Black version, and I like it, but... it's not the kind I'm looking for. Do you plan on making any black themes, with some red on them at all in the futur? I put you on deviantWATCH in case you are.

I was looking at some Windows 7 style desktops. I found a taskbar that looks the correct way, but it's not released yet. When that's done I was gonna use that, and use a dark wallpaper, like the ones I have now. I like stuff that looks like it was painted, or drawn. It's really cool.
