X360A Darkby ~Skillet98

Customization / Skins & Themes / Windows Vista Utilities / Windowblinds for Vista

WOW. It's FINALLY finished! After around four months of work, my x360a skin is done! And am I ever glad... it was on my mind a LOT. The preview image already says quite a bit. So I won't go over those parts again. There are some things to note though.

0: This skin is currently for Windows vista and Windows 7 only. If you use it on XP, it won't work properly and many elements will not be skinned. I may release an XP version in the future, but I can't make any promises on that.

1: This is NOT an Xbox skin. This is a skin made for x360a.org, and while x360a is a site based around the Xbox 360, this skin was built to match the site's logo.

2: This skin has a lot of dark elements. As with almost every dark WindowBlinds skin, this can cause some problems with certain applications. Notably, this skin may make Photoshop, Windows Media Player, and Adobe Dreamweaver look a little odd when it comes to fonts. The applications should still be useable, but if you're experience any major problems, I suggest using WindowBlinds to set that program to use a different skin. Preferably, a brighter one with dark fonts. It will also work well with FireFox as far as the FF UI is concerned. Some sites use their own backgrounds for input fields, however and most of them are light. Because of this, it may be slightly difficult to see what you're typing on some sites. Luckily, these are usually few and far between.

3: This skin includes two sub styles. Most users won't need to worry about them. One is for anyone who wants to use the skin with the taskbar displayed on the top of the screen. It inverts most of the taskbar elements like the buttons and tray expander to keep it from looking odd. The second substyle is for users who would like to display their taskbar on the left or right hand side of the screen. Without this substyle, the clock would be unreadable.

4: As you can see this skin takes to alternate colors VERY well using WindowBlinds' recoloring option. If you would like to enjoy a complete skin experience, I suggest downloading my x360a Wallpaper pack from this link: [link]

Copyright crap:

The logo used on the start menu and the start button for this skin does not belong to me. It belongs to x360a.org and I used it with permission. The rest of the skin was built from the ground up by myself. Please, do not upload this skin on any other sites and claim it as your own.

Other:

I don't care what you say... I like the color pink.

Please comment if you download!

This is AWESOME, there's a dark 'n blue version of this? I would love a darkblue theme with this design.

Recoloring it in WB is pretty easy.

Sure. Be sure to send me a link to the final product. Especially if it's for Gnome. Might want to use it myself.
