Hey,Well, there is only one new update today and it falls under the category of Windows XP. Someone I know made a visual style a while back, we modeled the site after it and now he has come back to make us a full blown visual style for Style XP or you can use it in Windows Blinds, whichever you prefer.Anyways, the new visual style is nicknamed “High Octane VS – Turbo Edition” because its more of a straightforward look to it, fonts match, etc.You can download the visual style HERE.-Eclipse
