	Ok, I know this looks a little girlish (ok, very girlish), but I designed it for my sister in an attempt to convert her over to a *Box type shell. I tried to make the menu look a strawberry (well the colors anyway). The only issue that I couldn't over come is the white letters in the menu which tends to blend in with the top portion of the menu. Every other color I tried didn't seem to work, so I stuck with the white letter on white/pink gradient. Any recommendations, comments, sarcasim is welcome.

clovemagic	How sweet of you to introduce your girlfriend to Blackbox. ;-D If I may make a suggestion re the menu: I think I would try a solid menu frame. If you're committed to the gradient, think about using a different type of gradient, like horizontal with the text left justified. That would make the menu text easier to read. (Still, I'd at least try a solid color).
clovemagic	err . . . "girlfriend" = "sister" . . . no, I mean, . . . sorry about that. 8\|
dragon12	Ah! great idea! (about the menu, that is) I'll have to make the change. Freudian? (shiver) =)
Pitkon	I like it! Reminds me of an old Fleetwood Mac album, "Kiln House". Perhaps clove has heard of it... :)
Nightbreed	this screenshot makes me hungry... lol ... Good thing computer screens arent scratch and sniff or I'd really be hungry... I'll have to point my girlfirends to this one.
Shawan	woa I love cute things and strawberries, this is lovely :)
frantic	sick.
Dragon12	Thanks Nightbreed, I had a craving for strawberrys most of the time while making it. ;^) Thanks Shawan & Pikton Frantic, yea my eyes hurt for a long time after wards. I had to watch war movies the rest of the evening to recuperate.

tech10171968	@ clovemagic: Please say that wasn't a Freudian slip!?!?!
clovemagic	It was a slip . . . it was only a slip. ::lmao::

I really need to go back and redo some of the styles from when I first started.

Wow holy crap, all this still exists. I haven't been on this site in forever. I'm glad to see blackbox, and all the other *box window managers and styles and stuff are still out there. So cool. Hi everyone!

Yknow, i found it really amusing to see the 32 bit version working on 98SE. i also find it just as hilarious that this still runs even on windows 11 machines.
