Longhorn Fusion for WindowBlinds

Here's a theme, for WindowBlinds XP, that I've been working on for months. This is a Longhorn Fusion M7 port off of the original Longhorn Fusion skin for Windows Vista.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to install:

To install the skin, make sure you have WindowBlinds* installed. Then, extract the LonghornFusion.wba file to anywhere you'd like and double click it. Now, wait for a balloon to confirm you have successfully installed Longhorn M7.

To install the Styler skins, make sure you have Styler* installed and extract both the Longhorn and Longhorn Jade folders to C:\Program Files\Styler\TB\Skins\Styler's.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known bugs:

No 48px icon startmenu quite yet. Will be released in a few days.

Window Frames can't be resized diagonally (such as pointing the cursor at the corner of the window and drag it to make it larger), I had to sacrifice this for perfect dynamic shadows.

And that's all I know of for now. If you find any bugs, please report them to me immediately or ASAP (as soon as possible).

Modifications of this theme may not be released without prior permission. If permitted, modifications must include credits and link[s] to the original product. Release of modification without any prior knowledge, let alone permission, is absolutely unacceptable and legal action shall take place. Modifications of this theme may also be used for personal use.

This release of the Longhorn Fusion port contains a few styler skins to fit the Aero and Jade substyles in the skin.

Needs to fixed up a bit:

-Jade substyle

To include in next release:

-48 px compatibility for all 3 substyles

Shellstyle:

I integrated a shellstyle that had the capability for it to be at the top of the window, as seen in the screenshots.

This shellstyle was made fediaFedia.

Help Needed:

I am afraid that I am working all by myself as the Longhorn Fusion for Vista's hype has died out. I am hoping that a few people could make some suggestions or help in contributing to this theme by working with it along side by me to make it better.

If you would like to help, contact me at vince32@live.com; add me to Windows Live Messenger or email me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few notes:

Please note that in the preview, all the buttons on the startmenu will not appear all at once. I edited the screenshot to show more characteristics of Longhorn Fusion. Thanks!

Another thing, the shutdown, log off buttons no longer need LS Patch! In fact, I think it looks better without it!
