=[Guide on “how to use” for «Fabulous K II»]=

First of all I want to note that in screenshot is not only my Aston. Is composed from many objects which I describe in the ThanksGiving, so if I miss something or someone note me and I will fix that :aww:.

1. First you need to download the theme (is RAR archive so be sure you can unpack it [7-ZiP is a free tool that can do this :aww: [link]).
2. When you've downloaded the package unpack it to your Aston's Themes folder.
3. Before you use the theme you need to decide - use My Panel items or use Yours (anyway you don't lose your config).
So, if You want to use my items you need to append the contents of listed in package "copy_me.txt" to "Plugins.rc" file (Note! - if you've installed Aston in other folder than "D:\Aston\" [my installation] replace all occurences of this with your Aston's root path). It's the easiest way.
Now if you want to leave your items load theme from "Theme Wizard" and then "Aston Settings" go to plugins and select "Panel". Right-ckick to it and select "plugin settings" in the "Panel Items" box write "Items" [by default, elsewhere your items name]. Press "ok". A Panel with your icons must be appear. Right-click on it and select "change". Now replace all the folders (upper items) names with dots "." then select icons from distribution [only 5 by me: multimedia, system, works, internet and games]. If you need an icon that is not listed here in package is the template (PSD), mac icons U can dowload from [link]

Good Luck!

P.S. Please post some comments! Favs are very appreciated! :aww:

P.P.S. I’ve added a Photoshop template for Panel Icons (if you want to extend it)

Note! If you want to have that systme customization which you've seen in menu install Flyakite OSX XP transformation pack from here [link]

Fabulous K II v.1.0 by ~D4Rk-PH0ENiX is a fantastic all-glass Aston theme that will easily accomodate any wallpaper. As you can see, it goes great with widgets. Hooray for transparency! (Featured by `abe-x)

Light and airy, beautiful theme!

Thanks. I will note that.
:iconmfioble:
In the .rar file I just downloaded it appears the .png files for the panel plugin are missing. Looks like a great theme though and I'd love to use it.
:icond4rk-ph0enix:
Append the contents of this [link] file to Plugins.rc in your Aston's root folder, and you will have my Panel items. That problem becomes because Panle don't have individual items, sorry. All the pngs are in the package
:icond4rk-ph0enix:
Oops! The icons aren't! I will submit an fix release today! Sorry again!
:icond4rk-ph0enix:
