Novus

Novus, formerly known as Emendo, is a visual style for Windows XP and the successor to Watercolor Emico: Blue.

Before using this theme, you’ll need to patch a system file which is called UXTheme.dll
UXTender allows you to do this. All you have to do is download the patcher and run it.

When that’s done, you’ll need to place the folder caleld “Novus” in “C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes”.There’s a choise between a style with the userpicture and one without. The 2 styles can be found on the “Color combination” dropdown menu.
This visual style also comes with 3 font choices as seen in the teaser image. These choices can be found in the “Font size” dropdown menu.

Bugs: If you find a bug, please report them. Before doing so, try to see and think why the bug occurs. Does it only happen in 1 application? Does it happen when you change a setting in Windows?

Modifications: For personal use only.

Ports: Please ask before doing so.

Changelog:

v1.0.1 – 26-07-2009:
• Fixed startbutton in Calibri substyle.

Wallpaper which I used for the teaser image: Fransisca by Julie Koesmarno

FAQ:

• Could you make a substyle with a startbutton which doesn’t have the text?
- No, the startbutton design simply doesn’t look as good without the text. I also don’t want to go beyond 2 substyles.
• Are you still going to release that black version? Or any other color mod for that matter?
- No, I’m considering this visual style my last one until further notice. I’m also quite bored of this style since I’m working on this for 2 years if you include Emico. Instead of making visual styles, I’m gonna make mockups and concepts and share them on deviantART.
