New Aston Theme: Polymerase


I've been quite ill for about a week, some nasty kind of bronchitis/laryngitis/cold combo. In addition to playing MegaMan Battle Network 3: White way more than I should, I started to whip together a theme for AstonShell. It's been a while, and I wanted something dark and shiny. After putting it together I found a suite called Xenon by a Russian (i think) skinner named Vlad. He's got a really nice looking site, too. You can find it at vladstudio.com. Kind of defeats the purpose of releasing a theme if someone else's already got something very similar, so i'm heartlessly modding it at the moment. There's a clock module in the screenshot towards the lower-right which will be more of an emphasis. The goal is a shiny black theme accentuated by chrome accents and periodic splashes of blue or red.

Thank goodness the Thanksgiving holiday is approaching this Thursday. Will have some time to recuperate, some time to theme, some time to make web-templates, and some time to work on another SYS podcast (also working on the first Podcast Wasteland podcast with a good friend). Hope to release a simple version of the theme before the end of this week.
