Ok....only issue I found using the theme, is the Start Menu.
1. No theme, should require you to risk hosing your XP shell (Explorer) to use it. If you do use the patch, WFP (Windows File Protection) screams bloody murder. Some right click menu extensions that change the shell, may or may not be affected that could cause the shell to crash. Use at your own risk.
2. Without the patch, SM links such as My Network Places and Printers and Faxes simply don't fit within the confines of the small mouseover images. No matter what font you choose.
3. If given multiple choices as this theme does, it confines you to use it specifically. "Normal" options leave you with buttons that don't fit. i.e. Turn Off Computer.
For an otherwise, FANTASTIC theme!!!...with great potential, shouldn't be shackled by a shell patch. Too risky...with no guarantees the shell changes aren't causing any security issues.

Great skin, amazing...however it breaks the Google Desktop sidebar (essentially wipes it out). Obviously not your concern, but I can't use it. Awesome work!!
... Killer Skin man !

This is absolutely beautiful. I can only imagine how long this took. Five stars all the way. I did have to tweak the places list margins a bit, but well worth the effort. Looking forward to the Deluxe version.
BTW, I tweaked the carbon version logon to fit 1680x1050. If anyone wants it, and continuum2 doesn't object, I'll send it via email.
Shame the stars don't go higher than 5

I'm not sure if this bug has been mentioned anywhere else, if it has then my apologies, I'm running windows vista and when I apply this skin it messes up the start menu. in a different way then the patch is for, since I ran the patch and it didnt change anything. the area where the most recent programs list is becomes larger then the area ment for it in the start menu when I hit the "all programs" button. other then that I think this is a great skin, I waited for it to be realised and havent been disappointed at all.

this is really a beautiful skin, you've done some great work.
I need a little help setting it up though, if you wouldn't mind terribly.
I followed all the readme's, and I downloaded Styler to install the other part of the skin, but for some reason I can't get all the parts of this skin to work (I.E.: the windows shut-down message, the shellstyle, etc.) is there a part of the zip that I should put in styler as a theme as well?
anyways, if you could give me a quick step by step runthrough that would be great. I have WindowsBlinds and I have Styler so I should have everything I need for this one, I'm just relatively illiterate about this stuff.

You need WindowBlinds 5 to get it to work properly.. which version have you got installed? The shellstyle problem seems weird as this cannot realy have something to do with my skin, my initial thought is that you have a lower version which doesnt support perpixel borders.
- Goto your WindowBlinds directory and DELETE the VisionZero Folder. (solves weird issues)
- Double click on the skins file (this should install everything you need)
- Copy the Styler Toolbar Folders "f.e.: VisionZero - Special" into stylers TB\Skins Directory
Thats it.. the logons and wallpapers are not that hard as i guess

Screw these self-titled "master skinners", patting themselves and each other on their backs.
YOU are a master. I've been using this skin since you posted it.
