Artist's Note

The word "Orb", in french "Orbe" from the Latin orbis 'circle', is another name for a round object, especially a disk or a sphere.

Update 18/04/09: remplace font : arial, 7 with Verdana, 7

- The zip include:
*visual style with 2 colours: Soft and Dark
*Shellstyle & alternatives shell
*fonts: verdana, calibri bold caps & corbel.

Installation:

You have to copy the zipped visual style into the windows system folder "c:\windows\ressources\themes".
You have to copy the fonts into fonts folder.
For alternatives shell, Unzip the file that corrisponds with the font you choose,Place the unzipped folder named "Shell" in the folder with the visual style.
The default font for this theme is verdana, It requires cleartype to be activate to be displayed correctly. To activate cleartype, go to display properties, appearance, then click on effects. Choose cleartype under "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts"

Note:
This theme is for Windows XP.
You need also a patched "uxtheme.dll" system file.

Hey, i downloaded this, and i have downloaded the uxtheme.dll patch, and im sure i downloaded everything correctly, but when i click on the theme, it makes no difference? :S It says is a "Windows Visual Style File" and the others (originals) are "Windows Theme File"

Can you help in any way please?

Thank you.
