Below is a [b]rough draft[/b] of what I want to do for an XP Visual Style... Took me 2 hours and I\'m just wondering what everyone thinks of it.. I would feel pretty bad if I just went and made it and have it not be used because of ugliness.... So is it [b]YAY[/b] or [b]NAY[/b]?
Thanks in advance! /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

Maybe make the grey task bar a gradient to look a bit more metallic, and the quick launch icons the same as the tray (bottom right)? It looks odd with everything on the taskbar appearing to stick out, except the tray.
But yeh, carry on with it. Things can always be changed if people don't like them

[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]I agree with sp9c on the taskbar, it looks like a depressed button where as everything else looks like an "up" button (phj33r my technical terms).
Apart from that i think it looks good, but something that might go well would be create the theme, except for a background, then hold like.. an official contest to see who can design the best looking background to match the theme, then include that background in the theme download, if you catch my drift. (Note, havn't thought that through really, it's up to you lol, i'm just throwing whatever ideas i get).[/b][/i][/color][/font]

I didn\'t, this is a [b]Rough Draft[/b]
/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> This is like a copy where I\'m going to make corrections, improve things, and add more things. When I\'m ready to make the theme I\'ll be using [b]StyleBuilder[/b] from [url=\"http://www.tgtsoft.com\"]TGT Soft[/url]
