I'll give you a big slap for not resising your image to 800*600 though

Nice

Apart from the wallpaper though, how did you get the translucent menus etc?
Tried the Black Mesa theme but doesn't look like that!

Have you possibly got that wp in 1028x768 ?

BloomerzUK · 6 Nov 2006 at 22:19

I never had it in 1024 x 768...

But I made one for you

Edit: All it is a wet Granny Smith in the Dark with someone waving a neon green glow stick around it with someone with a camera with a slow shutter speed.. Gives off some lovely effects.

Sorry forgot to mention you need a uxtheme.dll patch. I followed the advice from Neowin forum http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707 I used the second post, worked fine for me. Enjoy
