Hmm I like the theme but well... does it need to scream its name at you from everywhere? I hate themes that have thier name everywhere

I'm not the greatest mathmetician, but I'd say 4 out of 17 skins isn't 'everywhere'

Hippy,Great work again.I love the Desktop X with the dock built right into the taskbar.Just one problem.The date and time text is off center on the 1280 version.Other than that it is flawless.Totally disagree with John Wayne,but he can't even spell definitely.

Hi. I bought it and really like it. I certainly look forward to more stuff from SkinPlant.com!
KW88 and Digital3000 - What you need to do is make sure the skin is in it's own folder inside the 'Program Files -> Sysmetrix -> Themes' folder and it must be named 'Solara_large'. Hope that helps. Let us know!

Ooh - nice. I love the 'no button' task buttons - makes a nice change. Cool orange edge as well. Good work fellas.

Nicely detailed suite. Not my colors, but I do like the wallpaper. I really like the Cursor XP skin here at Wincusto. I saw the screenshots too, and it looks like you done quite some work here.
