I have crated several more eSchemes and can be found at the Canadian site.

Like midnight, and how you did a transform on my spikes wallpaper :) Never thought of that, it looks pretty cool that way!

Shadows is really slick too :)

Twilight reminds me of a Halloween skin or maybe a Trekkstor skin :P

One more new eScheme.  This is a very light grey scheme.

I still haven't quite figured out how you did the spikes in your scheme.

Yep, I could have named the twilight Halloween or trekky, but I did not want people to think it was only good for the holidays.

I used Paint.net to make the spikes by using a plugin called Gradient bars and then clouds, applied some blurs and blends, then did a conditional hue/saturation and ended up with what you see. I'm totally in love with Paint.net, you should give it a try! It's now been ported to the Mono platform for Linux and others, maybe one day if eCS gets Mono we can use Paint.net too!

I use old Photoshop Elements 3.0.  I tried 4.0 and thought it sucked.  They removed the file browser from it. This is the one feature I must have.  Adobe lost a customer.  I have Paint.net downloaded, however, I haven't really messed with it right now.  I use the things that I am familiar with which helps speed up the creations I do.

PDN is similar in layout and feel to Photoshop, but some things bother me. Primarily, the lack of function of the RMB in the GUI. Also, it's in desperate need of many of it's plugins, I suggest you get as many as you feel you need. Otherwise, its pretty great. Give it a shot and see if it can work for what you need it to. It does lack a file browser ala Photoshop as far as I know, but maybe a plugin provides that.

Get Serenity to include all your eSchemes and icon packages, eCS needs to look halfway decent.

This probably won't happen with eCS 2.0.  eSchemes still isn't far enough along for prime time when one must consider support tickets.   Just look at the eCS bug tracker on eSchemes.  Nothing is getting fixed fast. That is why eCS won't come with the full XWP.  Anything included must be proven reliable to reduce tech support.  That was why FAT32 was not included in some of the releases of eCS.  However, now FAT32 has been fixed to the point where it is reliable, I would expect to see it in the next eCS rc5 release.  It is my understanding from reading the support tickets that this will be the last RC release before it goes Gold.

If one wants to see what is going on,  got to its bugtracker and read the tickets.

Well, how about your old icon themes and window themes? Those should ALL be included. Can you please bring this up with them?
