Watercolor Emico: Silver

So.. almost a year after I've started working on this skin the 1st style is finally done. This version contains the Silver 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 Silver" to "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes".
Right click the desktop > properties > appearance > then from the first drop select "Watercolor Emico: Silver"
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:

Looks good! And professional.
:iconparalexlx:
Nice. I think you should have waited longer before releasing the first version. It would have been better to have all the colors in one pack.

I've talked about this with the beta testers and it turned out that the way it's going now is better. If I didn't release the Blue version I would've stilled worked on that. I was constantly searching for things that I could make better.

Looks great.. well done. :)
