Aquatica 3 theme for Aston Shell (http://www.astonshell.com)
version: 3;
 2003 by SacRat

DESCRIPTION:
A couple of days ago I've found old good Korea Winamp 2.X skin in my collection (about 2K works total). Just Foobar 2000 v 0.666 crashed (Winamp 2.666 managed to be one of the most unstable versions I knew) and erased all my configs. So instead of trying to restore all the data (damn, I'm already tired of reprogramming playlist) I just opened Winamp :) Can't live without music... So about Korea... First I wanted to mimic this skin, but after several attempts I came to something specific, but very interesting. These scetches had this blue color I've got slightly tired of... The most terrific work was to trymaking all the elements have more-less close gamma. Besides, now you can see a full version of Aquatica wallpaper. It's slightly renewed, as you can see.
I consider Aquatica 2 brown to be my best Aston skin (well, second best is n3o). Let's see if it would be better.

P.S.: actually this theme is a kind of excuse for my terrific Aquatica 2 Aqua theme, which was reasonably criticized by my gf. And this was the only my theme I didn't use.

FEATURES:
-Nice tiny interface.
-High usability.
-All elements are skinned.
-1024x768 only (resample wallpaper if needful)

MY OTHER THEMES
-BeOS (RC3); My first attempt to switch from Winamp skinning to Aston. An attempt to mimic BeOS operating system. Version RC3 is final. As you can see, a lot of work was done at recreating and drawing icons :) It worths to take a look at.
-N3O 2K3 skinpack; After finishing my n3o 2 and Hugi Winamp skins I tried to make n3o based Aston theme. It's still one of my most favorite works. Complete Aston Shell theme with cursors and icon set; skins for sysmeter, beatnik and Winamp... Must have for all those, who wants both eyecandy and high usability.
-Delta-OS; When I and Smanic tried to make a kind of port of Corona skin for Aston I came to my friend, who just got a copy of BeOS Dano OS. Classical Dano theme was impressive. I already had BeOS skin and didn't want to have just another theme. So after some experiments I made Delta. It's somewhat like a collision of Corona and Dano. Far not the worst theme on deviantart, but I like my next theme a little bit more.
-Aquatica; This is my most favorite theme at present moment. Wallpaper was definitely one of the things I must be proud of :) Creating it on my Celeron 333 is not the easiest thing :) Must have for all those, who likes my previous themes.
