Description

UNITED COLORS UI is here! :woohoo:

Hey guys, i'm back again! First of all, sorry to all waiting for me to do this, i've been quite busy, but it's finally done.

It's been almost a year and half since i shared plusxp, my previous vs on which United Colors is based. This new visual style is almost a total redesign of plusXP, including some features missing and all suggestions received from you guys: (there are A LOT of changes, some noticeable, some not so much):

· 10 underline color options & 3 font choices (that makes 300 possible combinations!)
· a shellstylle.dll is now included (that was the most annoying lack of plusxp), which makes a perfect match for the style
· new menubars, startmenu, buttons, dialogs, scrollbars...
· instructions to get EXACTLY what you see in the preview, in your computer.
· a guide for customizing Findexer in the United Colors way.
· additional software recommendations (Findexer, Chrome & Firefox themes, some tweaks...)
· and much more!

This is my favorite theme for any windows at all of the times.

I also have tried many magenta-like, material and glossy themes for Windows 7 and Windows 10, but, none of them makes me feel so calm with soft colors and harmonic material (flat?) style combinations.

it could have Windows 8 support in the future, since i am windows user from Win 2003 times, i can help with porting that, but, not with the drawing, so, I hope, the Author will reply to my request.
