mulder Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Only one thing will keep me from trying this...The fact that it says Alienware on it. :wacko: I wouldnt use a theme that says Compaq or Dell on it, why would i use one that has a company name on it? Is someone paying me for advertising for Alienwares way too overpriced computers? Just wondering...'cause ya know Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/298093-alienware-darkstar/#findComment-585635969 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IK47 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 looks mediocre from the screenshots, and even worse from Hypo's image. I never likes The Skins Factory's work.

Mutex Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Don't particularly care for most of the theme...I do, however, like the iconpackager theme it comes with. :) I'm not sure if the individual skins will be released...but for those of you who just want single parts of the theme (ie. just the wmp skin or iconpackager): Download & install > navigate to target location > rename Darkstar theme file to Darkstar.zip > uncompress the file > enjoy Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/298093-alienware-darkstar/#findComment-585641561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
