Hey Boxx
Was reviewing your work, quite an extensive portfolio! Can I ask why you aren't, or haven't, expended some of your creative talent in skinning XP?

Renegade: I am trying to learn how to skin Window Blinds at this very moment. I must admit, I am finding it very hard. I must have a mental block or something 
I have almost finished making my first WB skin, but I find that I get so caught up in the mechanics of the thing, that I forget about the design factor! And so my skins look pretty crappy. Maybe when I am comfortable with how it all works, I can apply my meagre design skills to it. Don't hold your breath though.

Looking forward to it Boxxi. If they are anything like your DX themes your WB skins will be great. If you need any help let me know.

There's a little problem making themes for a different screen sizes. If you make a theme for 1024, in 1280 sees the graphics little, in 800 too big! When i make a new theme, i use ever the 1024, because is the most used. If a skinner wish to create a skin available for different screen sizes, can't use a wallpaper in desktopx, because the displacement remains incorrect when you changes the screen size! I have some themes you can use in 800x600 try them (maybe some objects are very very big, or the objects are displaced

I hope this helps.
The reason that most themes are 1024 and above is that people are buying bigger monitors all the time, and 800 seems to be dying out. People make themes for the most popular resolutions and don't tend to consider people like yourself, which is unfortunate. I hope you find a nice theme at 800x600.
Oh, I just remembered, I have a theme on here called "DX interface", it was made for 1024, but I have a version at 800 which was specially made for someone, and I never released it. Take a look at it, and if you like it just mail me here... [email protected] and I will send it to you.
