In this page, I will list and describe any projects that I get up to. I may also leave a download link, so you may be able to make use of what I've done. As always, I would appreciate feedback from you. : )
OutlookTX v.1.0
This is a project that I spent half the summer working on. It's basically an attempt at skinning MS-Outlook, and bringing it out the dull appearance that it's had for so long now! As far as I can remember, it's always had 4 different styles to choose from and they're all boring! I tend to use MS-Outlook quite a lot, specially to sort out the tons of Uni emails writing about reminders, deadlines and presentations! With their newest version, Office 2003, there wasn't any new themes (or skins) to choose from, so I thought I'd make one myself. With this, I also added two features that weren't available with the original themes: Weather forecast and the day's News headlines.
The OutlookTX has an options page, like the Microsoft version, where you can change the settings to your liking. You can also change the background of the page and the page banner.
I have found theme more pleasant and if you're someone who spends a lot of time planning their day using MS-Outlook, then give this skin a try; I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
