Microsoft releases new official VS
'Portuguese Discoveries'
Friday, January 14, 2005 by c242 | Discussion: New Releases
"Microsoft developed specifically for Portugal and the Portuguese speaking communities in the world a Windows theme entirely dedicated to the Portuguese Culture, with especial emphasis to the period of the Portuguese Discoveries. This global theme includes wallpapers, icons for the Desktop, mouse pointers and a palette of specific colours."
Seems like a variation of olive, to be honest and totally not my taste.

A screenshot would be nice. No point having to download the whole thing if it turns out to be something one doesn't like.
If someone would be kind enough to provide one, I'm sure others would also appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

On the other hand it isn't that much work to provide a link to a screeny

There are 3 variations of the wallpaper and some seafaring based icons & cursor. The screeny just shows one of the wallpapers and the colour scheme.

had a look at what the fuss is all about, got it for the walls mostly, but it fails to push the boundaries and doesn't compare with the skins artists provide to us on Wincustomize. Microsoft needs more vision and to elaborate on its luna style to cater for those poor souls who don't have Stardock software.
