i like the theme but no matter what i did i couldn't get the start menu font to look good.

yes of course i installed the fonts and rebooted but still after trying all the variations

the fonts looked really crappy...so what am I doing wrong guys???

the theme isn't usable without the correct font...:(

any help would be appreciated.

Stunning. Simply stunning. Wish MS would get a theme like this (not their wishywashy hard to see ones) ... the colours and fonts work well, and the start menu rocks too! Oh, have to agree (in edit) that the colour changing progress bar is schweet too!

U need to turn on Font Smoothing from your Display Properties.

Should be fine then... :)

why would u ever have the taskbar into three rows?

Cause you want to. His is actually pulled to 2 rows. I've got mine pulled to 3 so i can see the date. Just like it better that way.

Looks like it only does that when i have my taskbar set in two rows!

Not one or three, really wierd, think you can figure it out?

Great theme otherwise!

thanx friend for the useful info...worked a treat.

sheesh what a noob I am...:(

although this cured my problem I'm not sure I like the "font smoothing"

option...I've never used it before and it seems to give the text a

blurred effect to my old eyes...:)

what would it take for me to replace the font with a much more

basic font such as verdana/tahoma/arial which will then enable

me to remove the font smoothing?

I have the necessary programs to do it I think but attacking another persons

work is something I haven't tackled before.

any help would be very much appreciated.

thanx for a great theme.

the green on the title bar just dont go with the blue, background tabs, could this only be fixed in a firefox theme? or is it changeable?

Woot, looks like a reboot solved the problem, who would have thought!

Keep up the good work!

About the wireless dialog box.. i've seen many visual styles that have problems with them. For some reason, they mess up or don't use the same visual style...

On Kresno's Blues VS, the background on the wireless pane is the bright pink usually used for transparency.

Then i suggest removing any fonts included from your fonts folder and it will substitute Tahoma for u , i honestly dont see any of these problems.

edit, yeah it works but the font is ugly when you use it in the theme... it's to big maybe you can make something that i can choose a font by my self? :unsure:
