Ev0 XP

Description

Ok this is a visual style that I was meant to release alongside my Windows Live Messenger skin also called Ev0.

Sadly I wasn't able to fully realise it as i got a new pc with vista on it and left it. All the skin needed was a shellstyle.dll and a white version made.

This version is usable, though it has no shellstyle so I'd recommend downloading a no shellstyle shellstyle since those fit this theme better.

Anyway yeah it matches the windows live skin found here:

I might pick up the pieces of this visual style once Vista skinning gets happening so yeah who knows what will happen :).

Enjoy

Any comments or fav's appreciated

P.S for those wondering the wallpaper shown here was part of my desktop at the time and isn't included with the visual style but can be downloaded here : [link]

ok in your notes you state that we need to download a shellstyle.dll file. This is what I did. I put the msstyle file into c:/windows/resoureces/themes/Ev0, then I downloaded the shellstyle.dll file and added a new folder into the Ev0 folder naming it shell like the other windows theme files. Your skin shows up fine in the display properties but when I go to apply it nothing happens. It just goes to windows classic style. Any ideas?
