UNITED COLORS UI is here! :woohoo:



! UPDATE 03.01.2013: For some reason download button sometimes doesn't show. Just in case, here's the download [link].
! UPDATE 02.26.2013: Sta.sh finally let me upload the .rar file, so now you can download it directly from here :D


Hey guys, i'm back again! First of all, sorry to all waiting for me to do this, i've been quite busy, but it's finally done.

It's been almost a year and half since i shared plusxp, my previous vs on which United Colors is based. This new visual style is almost a total redesign of plusXP, including some features missing and all suggestions received from you guys: (there are A LOT of changes, some noticeable, some not so much):

· 10 underline color options & 3 font choices (that makes 300 possible combinations!)
· a shellstylle.dll is now included (that was the most annoying lack of plusxp), which makes a perfect match for the style
· new menubars, startmenu, buttons, dialogs, scrollbars...
· instructions to get EXACTLY what you see in the preview, in your computer.
· a guide for customizing Findexer in the United Colors way.
· additional software recommendations (Findexer, Chrome & Firefox themes, some tweaks...)
· and much more!


What's inside the package?

and by the way, you don't need resource hacker or any other software in order to change the shell. Just follow those instructions and contact me if u still need help

You should read the instructions in the readme file. But just to simplify, copy the "United Colors" folder into Windows theme folder (/Windows/Resources/Themes). Then it should work propperly. If u still have any doubts or problems, feel free to contact me via messages. Thanks for trying United Colors!

One of the best skin for Windows XP. Nice.

Just for your info, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons look weird when we use Firefox without Menu bar.

Overall, it's very nice. You're a great artist/designer.

thanks so much! Yeah, i've noticed that... but it's actually an issue of that particular firefox theme. You may try some other black styles available in the theme page, i've tried a few more and the buttons work and look fine. Once again, thanks for your words :D
