dubey: go to "view -> status bar" on the menubar of windows explorer.
MC: if you have windows xp, download StyleXP. that'll let you apply ksins to winxp, and you can get some really good skins from www.deskmod.com and www.deviantart.com
nimec & ICeHawk: I'm thinking of putting some color accentuations in there for the other color themes, as well as different start menu styles. one with that font, and one without. :)
Pika: thanks pika :D , i completely agree with you on neutral colors, and am not as big a fan of vibrant colors as i am of neutral eleganty colors. :)
