This is Animus visual style for XP.

After my last two dark styles, which were very dark indeed, I was come to idea to make some style which will be in many ways opposite from the previous two, so that basically anyone can use it. This means that I was trying to make something more unique and useful for most people. The inspiration for this style I was take from the Animus machine in the Assassins Creed video game, so this style could be one more homage of mine.

I must add that I was made a dozen different buttons for it but finally I was decided to reduce things on 3 color scheme and 3 variations of buttons type, so I believe that anyone will find something interesting in it and I hope that it will be really easy to pick one favorite for use (or maybe not who knows, heh)! ;)

CONTENTS:

1. Animus VS
2. Additional shell style color schemes
3. Two Rhino Styler variations (Basic & Extended)
4. Installation guide

p.s.

I didn't have much time to test this style because I was been focused on design and sometimes some really tiny details in it, so If you find any issues please report here.

Hope you'll enjoy it... ;)

Additional installation info:

To use any of these styles you’ll need to patch your windows! To do that follows these links:

Windows XP - SP2: [link]
Windows XP - SP3: [link]


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

It seems that many people have problem to figure how to install styler theme and especially additional shells style variation, so I was repack this style in self extracting archive! I believe now that all people will have no problem to install everything what they need (even those less experienced)… ;)

Animus VS by ~vladimir0523 This theme is what the skinning community is all about. Animus took all the feedback he recieved and tweaked it to create a suberb and stylish VS. I look forward to his next one ;-) (Featured by ^mrrste)

The system tasks theme the base has a line along the bottom if that wasn't there and the start menu was darker I would use but it's a nice style :)

U know what? That style looks really nice, but... up and down arrows on scroolbars looks ugly. Better try to make black arrows (triangle) much smaller and more precise and style will be perfect.

Excellent idea! I love it!

That’s easy to find! You should try Google image search sometimes… ;)

There is probably left for me (here and there) some details in the style which I will need to correct a bit, however in this case I’m not quite sure that I’m following you? Can you be more specific please?

Oh btw, if you are talking about the line which is on top the taskbar try to lock it and it will disappear! That is one of few things which I will certainly change soon…

Thanks!
:iconvladimir0523:
That is good idea, so I’ll do that…

Thanks on suggestion! :)
