My Next WIP - ForeverBlue - Released!

Coming soon for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 will be a Windowblinds port and restyle of my ever popular theme called ForeverBlue. Originally created in 2002, this theme has had over 3 million downloads in its .MSStyles format for Windows XP. While trying to keep the original themes look yet still improve upon it, I hope to obtain a balance between the old and the new. Here is a preview of what it looks like so far...

 

ForeverBlue by LightStar

 

Comments on this would really be appreciated everyone. Thanks!

This looks great LightStar, but one question, how did you get the Control Panel to do that?

Uhmmm, how did I get the Control Panel to do what Philly?  If you mean come up as a menu, I just set it to display as menu in the Customize Start menu, Advanced tab area. It's Windows XP. ;)

Ahhh, Windows XP.  :S

Do you know if you can do the same thing with Windows 7? 

EDIT:  Yes you can, I just went and changed it to Menu in Window 7, cool.

Probably not changing it on XP RND, but definitely on Vista and 7.
