I'm a member of DeviantArt ( www.deviantart.com ) and until today, I always downloaded windows themes, application skins, and most recently, Shell Styles for the Shell replacement utility Blackbox ( www.bb4win.org ).

Today, I made my own themes, and one of them I am actually really starting to like, and I want to share it with you guys.

Everything from the what the titlebars look to how the menu looks, to how the clocks look were all taylored by me. Colors, sizes, even their appearance. It was my first one ever made, and didn't like how it looked at first, but now, it's kind of grown on me.

I've been running bb4win since it came out in 2002.

Nate: It's Windows XP professional. The Blackbox program fully replaces the Windows "explorer.exe" file with "blackbox.exe" file. It sort of acts like windows, still runs all the programs (I haven't had 1 incompatible program yet), and it looks like Blackbox, which emulates Unix. There are other shell replacement programs out there. Another common one is Aston.

Mikochu, that's a sweet style there! I'm liking it alot! Whats the name of it?
