Same color scheme as our 7 year old Age of Mythology theme. Which means our WMP skin would work quite well with this. Check it out: http://www.theskinsfactory.com/skinsfactory/?page=view&portID=93&portPage=6 Couple of comments about your theme... 1. The Ankh symbol needs some work. Seriously. I mean the theme is names Ankh, you could at least create the most beautiful and accurate design of one. 2. Next/Previous Arrow buttons: arrows are too dark if its in idle state. If its in disabled then its ok. 3. The green taskbar button looks out of place. Should have carried over the blue from the start menu to tie in the windows, icons and start menu with taskbar.

Even though I don't like real dogs (I know a dog is not a jackal, but they are related), I've always been partial to Anubis. :CONGRAT:

That can always be changed to suit personal tastes with Windowblinds recolor feature (one of the real benefits of Windowblinds IMO).

Can we get the WB without the encrypted graphics? I would like be able to hide the user picture in the start menu.

I too would like it unencrypted. Would be nice to have the option. :D Plus I could edit the theme and fix this annoying white line issue as I showed above. With the noise filtered mess its hard to see what I'm doing.

It shouldn't be left up to the consumer to fix design mistakes (mistake being a relative term of course). The green doesn't belong there. It's no where else in the theme.

It's not green for me, more of a light teal color. Nevertheless I agree it should be blue, another thing I could easily do with unencrypted images!

Still don't see it in Impulse  (:(

The "green"/teal color is based on one of the colors on the death mask of King Tut Ankh Amon, like the rest of the skin is, on the mask. It is used elsewhere in the skin, which this screenshot doesn't really show. Like on the back/forward buttons in Explorer in Vista. Misplaced? No. Design mistake? No. Unless you think that, and that's fine, but then you don't know which color scheme it's based on. Blue color is used for the flashing button. I suppose someone would argue to reverse the two, if they think the green one is soooo out of place.

I'm usually more of one for the dark themes but I am using this on my XP pc right now and think it's a really nice theme. ;)

I knew you created the theme. I can tell your style.

Like i said "design mistakes" are a relative thing. One person's trash is another's treasure.

Blue is more prominent as its on window frames, start menu and button. The flash happens so infrequently that the teal should have been designated for that and the blue should have had a more prominent placement. Just my opinion.

I dunno, im actually liking the teal. It is used in other elements such as the navigation buttons, the icons also have the teal color as well, yes it does stand out but I think thats what I like about it. ...Now if I could only fix this strange white line...
