<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Ghost in the Shell: Lauging Man & Section 9 (Two themes)</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This package is contains two themes for NextGenUI; these themes are inspired by the "Ghost in the Shell" series, because I figured that the visual style would compliment Jake's (a.k.a GroovyCarrot) awesom system. </p>

<p>Ghost in the Shell: The Laughing Man (A.K.A GitS1) is the first version of this theme I created, focusing very much on the Laughing Man logo from the series. The logo stands out from the rest and sort of "breaks" the visual style in a way that I think is quite appropriate for the theme. But having that dis-coherence can be annoying to some, so the idea of the two themes came about. (Indeed, after a bit designing the second theme I really liked it better and have been using it almost exclusively)</p>

<p>Ghost in the Shell: Section 9 (A.K.A GitS2) is naturally the second version. It has a more consistent look using the "Intergate"/"Cyberhub" type of graphics for the primary node. I had initially had the colors set to be the same orange with contrasting blue as in GitS1; but due to me forgetting to change UIColour2 it ended up with a white on orange color scheme. Looked nice this way, so I decided to leave it. This also gives it some more visual separation from GitS1, which makes it seem like I wasn't as lazy as I was in reusing almost everything from it <img class="inlineimg" title="Wink" src="../images/smilies/wink.gif" alt="" border="0" /><br /> <br /> Another change with this version is the system status indicators have been changed from the vanilla text of GitS1 to be integrated as an overlay for the core graphic; wi-fi is indicated on the left, battery in the middle and radio to the right. They're set to use UIColour1 so they don't stick out like a sore thumb, but are hopefully sill readable enough to be useful.</p>
