When I got XP, I couldn't wait for WB4 so I could get rid of the "stock" skins. I'm sorry, but I don't like them. Of course, if you have Win98, you can look like XP. But, it's not for me...

I kinda like this idea, and you did a very faithful job. Nice 
One thing you need to fix though...
I noticed the text on task bar buttons change color when you roll over them, and on the Silver skin (for example) you can't read it while your cursor is over it.
I loaded the REAL .msstyle that Microsoft made, and chose the Silver skin. I noticed the taskbar rollovers on thier version does not make the text color change, it stays black, and therefore you can read it while your mouse is over it.
I hope all that made sense. If you can get hese little things worked out, it would really be appreciated (maybe even add startmenu rollover states, for "all programs", "log off", "shutdown computer", etc... just to make it better than the original, hehe.)

Thanks PlumbDrumb. I'll fix that along with some other tweaks to make it more faithful to the original. If you or anybody else knows of anything to correct, just tell me and I'll fix it and release an update eventually.

I can not believe this thing got 41,000 downloads LOL LOL
I know why, cause its Luna... and its XP... and now it has custom colorization.
Dang, now what do I do with my Luna port? I better make it special. Its got to have something unique... but what?
work work work... oh and good idea.

I really like your skin! Is there a way or can some make a skin that has the blue taskbar like XP, scrollbars, the green start button, and change the color of the right click menu?
Thanks in advance!

I did a little tiny update that fixed some things that bothered me, but are probably unnoticeable to everybody else, such as the glyphs on tool window buttons. If you find something that could be changed to make it more like the original Windows XP style though, let me know and I'll fix it.

Great Skin, I really like it...but I'm having this little problem when maximizing and minimizing a window. For example, when I try to minimize a window to the taskbar, it sometimes automatically maximizes itself and pops up. Conversely, when I try to minimize a window to the taskbar, it pops back up and maximizes...sometimes I've tried clicking on the minimize button on the top right hand corner of every window and nothing happens...has anyone had these problems or is it just me?

THe great thing is that you can have the, um, snazzy look of XP, without actually having to have all the crap that comes with XP cos XP sucks

Having a "pure" XP style on-hand is handy fpr "per-application" settings, when you need a specific app to look like XP for testing purposes. However, its replication of XP style is inaccurate _at high resolutions_, where XP would normally apply an extra-large font to the title bar and expand the size of the title bar buttons. Is there any chance an "extra large" port could be grafted onto this skin as a selectable subcategory? Thanks in advance.

Hey man, i have win200sp4 and this skin runs great!!! 
, the only problem with your skin is that, in blue color (sub-design) i can see some mo"#$%& fuc$%&# blue dots on the corners of the window buttons (close, minimize and maximize) update this skin and try to fix that bug, this skin is too good to have that thing on the buttons
it's so crushin'

for user badone2ya, it's easy, erase all that crap of data and re-download the installer, then reboot your computer, but, there is one thing, when you download the program, you must save the installer on a suitable place on your computer, then you can reboot...
note: the files maybe are damaged or corrupted, tht's why i'm tellin you this option, and trust me, i've had the same problem when i downloaded the installer and it fixed this way...
