ELFIN vs v1.0 visual style for use on Windows xp & Windows 2003 server
---

ELFIN was originally designed to be part of a contest between the groups fourimpressions & disrupted, the contest

never came to fruitation due to improper planning between all parties involved. During the down time I went back

and updated some items and made everything fit the way I wanted. This is the first dark theme that I've done and

it was really a challenge to find a dark color close to black but not as dark, there are some limitations using

stylebuilder to make a theme completely black so this is the end result. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I

enjoyed making it. Be sure to install the fonts included in order for the the theme to function as it should.

Looks good. Not a ton of detail (lots of plain grey), but I understand the limitations of doing a dark skin. There has been somewhat of a demand for a dark grey vs and you brought the goods. Very nice work.

I went from using Median to this and I must say, as long as you guys are in the VS skinning game, I'll never need to look anywhere else. The font selection for this VS is on point, nothing more needs to be said.

thanks for the props csae & attila

** This vs is not clear type friendly **
in other words, for users who like to have it turned on.. it will not look good with this vs.

thanks heylove I know you have some good stuff coming up as well ;)

Thanks all for the comments both good and not so nice. For those who enjoy it thanks for the kind words it's that which keeps us going. For those with animosity all i can say is make your own and be proud to display your works as well. Thanks.

I like the dark sleek interface, but I don't like the font (hard to read for user who prefer clear type font). I hope the Font Size setting can be utilized by having different set of fonts such as Tahoma (7pt for readability and minimalism) for user that prefer clear font.

There is high demand for a smooth dark theme, so good choice there. I've been tinkering with one myself, but its been sitting in idle for some time. I love the font choice. My only gripe is that I feel the buttons need more pop. Nice job fellas.

looks familiar. You also might want to give credit to gear for making the mod to the font. You wouldn't be using that if it weren't for him.

Reminds me of International. Good stuff, though. No one is saying anything with animosity, either.

'A' for effort, but this is too bland for my likings.

dmonix said it, the effort is there, but it's lacking a certain something to grab attention

i adore the black and that font; it's one of my fav's.. however those caption buttons seem odd. they don't seem to flow with the vs, in my opinion. x:

Thank you so much for the font! I've been looking for something like that forever. I love it, thank you.

It's not spectacular, but it's far from bad. I still don't like the font choices as much as I could, the scrollbars would look better without a border, and the color is bland and not very attractive. It's still interesting, and hell, I may even use it(albeit with a new font and a couple tweaks), but it could be better.
