Friends,

I started using "Black Mesa v2", by valkyre ([link]), and I really loved it.
I think it's extremely well done, a very beautiful style. :)

Well, I'm also into Aqua styles and colors, so I thought it would be nice if Black Mesa could have some Aqua features. I enjoy Black Mesa's interface very much, so I decided not to modify its structure; I made a few changes only. :)

So, here is my "Aqua version" for the "Black Mesa v2", which I call "Aqua Mesa v1.0".

Basically, the changes are:
- What once was orange, now is Aqua colored;
- Progress bar and Start button have been modified.
- Windows default logoff and shutdown buttons.

Credits also go for valkyre, naturally, the original creator. Thanks, buddy! :)

I hope you guys enjoy it! :)

Interesting idea, but I think that perhaps the graphite Aqua buttons would have be a better match for the BM2 color scheme.

Yeah--"Oooh," "Aaahh,"--That's how it always starts, and then there's running and screaming...
Can you do a Tahoma8 version too?
69minutes in the clock? O.o
This is what I was waiting for. Very great looking VS.
Following suggestions:
The start button seems to be broken (loses a its edge on the right), can you fix it?
How about adding + and - back in Explorer window back? Would make it look elegant
Making radio buttons and check boxes a little lighter - the dark ones don't look that great

Please release this again ASAP after fixing the bugs and considering suggestions! Thank you and Great Work!!!
Yup! It looks like a good idea. Maybe I release such graphite scheme later. Cool. Thank you!
Tahoma is a cool font. I'll see what I can do, OK? Thanks.
Start button seems to be OK here, vipuldk. So is Explorer window back with radio buttons and check boxes. Sorry, but I really couldn't observe those bugs you mentioned here. If you like, please, send me a screenshot pointing these bugs to my e-mail (bernasxp@ftml.net) and I'll try to fix them. Thank you, buddy.

Hi Bernas,

It's great to deal with a responsive author. Thank you very much.
As you agree to design a graphite aqua to go with Black Mesa. And I think it is a very good idea. Can you do the same for blue? But this time it will be in the opposite way. Recolor Mesa from black to dark blue so that it goes well with blue aqua.

While you are at it, can you also fix a flaw that I find quite annoying in Black Mesa. That is the +/- icon in the left pane of Windows Explorer. They are all solid squares, this requires more attention to read the folder structure. I think that adding a + and - in the square would improve the readability.

And please don't forget the Tahoma8 font. Valkyrie the author said that it is possible to change this easily by editing the VS but I don't know how to do this.

Thanks in advance.
