Here is a Vista style skin for the menu. It's the first time I have created a skin and anyone that knows me knows I am possibly the worst person at making graphics! I have been learning how to use Paint Shop Pro (not brave enough for Photoshop yet) and I am slowly getting used to it :)

The skin isn't exactly how I wanted it but I had to change some things around to fit with the hard coded information such as the text and icons layout etc. Hopefully now the skinning seems to be popular, the menu coders will make the layout more flexible via the config file.

Feedback appreciated as I can only learn from my mistakes :)
That background is the copyright material of Microsoft. It's a wallpaper from Windows Vista. Also, the URL to your own site isn't nice at all.
Here is my second skin, its another Vista style design but this time has darker glass style windows so that the white text can be seen properly on the SMS screen (you cant change the font colour for this and is always white), it also has a darker background to match.
The same.

The first is the official vista background so if it isn't allowed that's fine as I started designing it before the rule about it was mentioned. The second used in the dark skin is a vista style design, it is not an official one by MS but very similar in style. As far as I know this one doesn't break any rules so it should be OK.

My second design.  I decided to go with a minimalistic look this time.







Also available in assorted colors.



All these colors are in the .zip.

I got a problem. I'm now using the skin, which has won this contest. But on the top screen the logo of the game does not fit in the ROM "chip". It's a little beside. And I don't know how to change the rom list. It's just a list. But I want the buttons without any text, like in your example pic.

Can anybody help me?

Using the first NDS (neither Lite nor DSi) with
MK5 8GBit,
Menu v1.45,
xMenu v2.56.

Thanks!
