Watercolor Emico: Black and Washed Black

So.. almost a year after I've started working on this skin the 1st style is finally done. This version contains the Black substyles with a "Modern" and a "Classic" taskbar.
This skin is based on the skin called "Watercolor". It's a skin that was being used in the beta's of XP.

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

This version contains a Black and a Washed Black version. Washed Black is less dark as you can see in the preview. It also has green sliders and progressbars instead of the blue ones in Black.

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

How to install:

Extract the folder called "WE Black" to "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes".
Right click the desktop > properties > appearance > then from the first drop select "Watercolor Emico: Black"
From the 2nd drop downlist you can make a choice between the "Black Modern", "Black Classic", "Washed Black Modern" and the "Washed Black Classic" substyle.
In the 3rd drop downlist you can make a choice between a "Normal" or a "Compact" start panel.

"bugs" I know of:
* Some palet frames arent drawn the correct way. (Now idea how to fix this yet)
* In some webbrowsers the buttons might be resized the wrong way. (Browser bug)
* Multi row taskbar does not look good in the Modern substyle. (Theme)

Modification:
For personal use only.
