Very nice work Crow, I was wondering when we were going to see some of this new stuff. It seems everyone's work is just the same stuff right now. Don't get me wrong there is alot of talent out there, but nothing original.

Being new to this, does one have to have a theme manager to install these visuals? I understand that I need to patch the uxtheme.dll file but is it necessary to have a commercial theme manager to install these?
Thanks |

no as long as you have run some kind of uxtheme.dll patch you dont need anything else. Just extract the theme to c:\windows\resources\themes\
The folder structure for the theme is intact in the zip file so if you extract everytything with the "use folder names" option checked in winzip and everything will work. or if your useing native zip support in XP just extract it. and it should appear in the display properties on the apperance tab. |

Very beautiful VS. Thank you very much.
Can you make a Tahoma version? There should be something in your VS that make the icons take more space in the launchbar. Most of time, I have 4 icons visible in the launchbar with all other VS. When I use yours (Obsidian III and PixLuna III), there are only 3 icons visible. Can this be fixed? |

Wonderful, Thanks.
No big deal for the Tahoma font, it's minor. SegoeUI looks really good with size 9. Do you have time to consider making a PixLuna color for ObsidanIII? A kind of best of both worlds :-) |

Any news? Hope you have time to work on this. I am a fan of your VS. I have seen several Longhorn VS on neowin.net. In my opinion, for dark VS, your Obsidian3 is the best. |

Thank you very much for taking care of my request. No I am not the person you mentioned. I don't know anything about art design or VS. I am just an amateur who appreciate good design. I am also thrilled about the idea of having Obsidian3 under different colors. I hope you really have time to work on this too. No rush however, I am a patient client. Please take care of your more urgent business first. |
