My first attempt at a .Text skin.  Thanks to Mark Wagner, that is.  He has a great “.Text skinning 101” page that I used to guide me through the process.

The inspiration for this first attempt was my XP “Bliss” Theme - the colors and the navigation bar should look slightly familiar.  Feel free to use this for your own site or to modify it to match your own desired look and feel.  Update:  I've created two additional versions of the theme - one matching the “Olive“ appearance of Windows XP and one matching the “Silver“ appearance of Windows XP.  Also, I renamed the original WinXPish skin to WinXPBlue to differentiate it from the others.

Download here (WinXPBlue):  http://www.roudybob.net/downloads/WinXPBlue.zip

Download here (WinXPOlive):  http://www.roudybob.net/downloads/WinXPOlive.zip

Download here (WinXPSilver):  http://www.roudybob.net/downloads/WinXPSilver.zip

Setup

1) Extract the zip file into a folder called 'WinXPBlue', 'WinXPOlive' or 'WinXPSilver' depending on which version you are installing..

2) See the README.TXT in each zip for installation instructions.
