Very nice. Great Job!

I don't care for themexp.org these days. Seems like all their newer themes are packaged with adware.

For what it's worth...

I've been running XP since beta, and I have NEVER changed the visual. Until I saw this. Nice skin, Krezno. Now to find something complimentary for Trillian.

Where can I find that background?

@Krezno if you want the people to know your work you have to upload your work on other big sites, or that it's what i do

anyway very good job man i really like it, specially the one called "Black K-OSX". i was searching for a theme like this for many places

as @knewman01 suggested where can i find a matching wallpaper for "storm"

a bit off topic krenzo but your sig is too big compared to the current msfn rules:

QUOTE

5. Images in signatures are limited to 300x100 and 80kb. Members with slow connection can disable other members signatures when reading posts by going to: My Control - Options - Board Settings. Also, flash sigs are not permitted. Avatars are to be a maximum of 100x100 pixels. You can enter max 4 lines of text in signature or signature image and limited to 1 line of text above or below the image. If your avatar or signature goes above these guidelines they will be taken off and the member contacted via PM. Any signatures found to be attached to a thread and used as a signature host is not allowed on MSFN and will be removed.

lovely wallpaper thanks

@Wasim, i think he's not annoying anyone with this sign. that rule it's to prevent high bandwidth signs, and it's only 22,4kb. anyway you can disable to show any sign on your CP

edit: new desktop thx Krezno,

Hi there,

@pit thanks

@`Felix` it's not a .theme file, it's a visual style so go to your %WINDIR%\Resources\Themes\Storm and double click storm.msstyles

@Krezno
the sig is actually pretty nice.

@Wasim
i really dont think MSFN really cares at all.... its not tall, not wide enough to extend the size of ANYONE's web browser window,
AND the image isnt being stored on MSFN's servers so they couldnt care less about the bandwidth it is taking up.

[EDIT #1]
and its an actual 'signature', its "informative", not just a normal picture of random crap...

When i do that - the display control applet opens and nothing appears different and then i click on ok and nothing changes.

For anyone out there using Desktop Sidebar, this visual style goes great with the Royal Black Knight Compact skin for DS. Makes for one classy looking desktop.

I tried downloading the background and I am not getting anything? Anyone else having this problem?

and, how do you get the search bar to work and the floating "my computer" ?

Seems I was too late in downloading the wallpaper to accompany your Storm theme, which by the way is probably one of the first Visual Themes I've ever used -- I know it sounds stupid, but I've rarely seen a Visual Theme worth the effort applying before.

Is there an alternative address where I can grab the wallpaper?

Thanks in advance.
