Description

GeoOrange skin with a completely new look.

It was an intention to use Bitstream Vera fonts with this skin, but they were too large to be included. You can download the package here: [link]

Those are free software fonts, and although they are not required, the splash screen settings still point to Bitstream Vera Sans.

The skin includes:
- Horizontal and vertical bars.
- Reg settings for menu and bars.
- A cool splash screen and reg settings for it.
- Ebutton skins.
- A brushed metal grayscale wallpaper, 1024x768 only.
- Gradient wallpapers that should be tiled (for at least 1024x768 and 1600x1200 resolutions).

Based on Orange Juice theme for Enlightenment. This skin has some lacks of course, because it's only a GeoShell skin and the original one was a full theme suite.

Version: 2.5

i thought i remembered it being stored in a self extracting package.. sorry i was wrong on that point.. but the big thing still remains..
this font is distributed lots of places on the net right? and a lot of people think it is great right? well.. you could include the address to download it in the readme.. this would prevent those who already have the thing from having to download it again, and those who don't want it wouldn't have to deal with it in the first place..

i don't know.. maybe i just don't see the 'usefulness to the person that downloads your skin' of this extra bulk..

current compressed size of this skin: 385KB
size of this skin without this font included: 48KB
total size of "wasted" bandwidth: 337KB

but then again, you were correct when you said "I added it because I can." and my I'm just trying to suggest that there might need to be a better reason for making one of your skins over eight times larger than it "should be"...

ultimately it is your geoshell skin, and if you decide to include the next Service Pack for Windows XP after it comes out in one of your skins.. because it might be useful to *some* other users.. then that is your decision to make..
