Description: Liquid Light Theme (basic and advanced versions) for Aston Shell -*read the readme file on this one*- Resolution: 1024x768 only Included Customizations: Taskbar, Main Menu, Quick Launch, Right and Left Toolbars, TopPanel, DCClock, Desktop Elements, 4 Wallpapers, complete set of custom cursors, custom icons for Recycle Bin, Rainlendar Skin, Windows color scheme. Also some neat advanced features in the advanced version (though using the advanced version will require some extra tweaking on your part - see the readme file).
I have tried to create a theme that is very useable but strange enough that it would seem very alien to someone not used to it - I also wanted to get as far away from the standard as I could. I tried to leave plenty of room for customization. This theme is not bound to one wallpaper, I have included several small tileable wallpapers that work well with the theme but you can surely find other images that work well also. The cursors I made for this simply must be seen. Enjoy!-D

Thanks for the comment the slight roughness to the graphics is partly because I did not want the theme to be bound to one wallpaper, Had I made it so it only worked with one wallpaper I could have given much slicker look to much of the liquid (fake transparency and smoother edges). It was a sacrifice I chose to make. Admitedly I may have rushed a little because I wanted to finish before my trial was up ;D. Next Aston version is rumored to support (*drool) PNG files. Look forward to more polished graphics in my future themes - now that I got one out I won't feel such urgency and can take much more time and care. -thx you :)

Would be great, except that the water splat bar is not very customizable.

Not sure exactly what you mean by the water splat. You should be able to link the areas in it to anything you like. I tried to keep the text labels general (ie. "raster" instead of "photoshop") so you could link raster to all kinds of things and still have it make sense. Liquid Memory will be out soon though and with v1.9's png support I can do way slicker transparent water. It will be called liquid memory because I am not going to label anything - instead the mouse over glows will be color coded. So it will be more customizable.

Awesome! I have jumped from theme to theme, but could never really settle down with one, till now. This has become my favorite! It's nice having plugins that are integrated so well and it is still very configurable and customizable. Also looks great w/The Tide Turns wallpaper (thanks Modulis)! 1 suggestion and 1 request, suggest: not setting "work direc/target path's,on the "droplets" and Toppane it took me forerver to reset them to my machine:) and Request: RAINMETER SKIN..... Please? Thanks Much! jelliot
