vStyler have just released his new masterpiece Aero Executive

It prob my fav wb to date:)

I genuinely don't get it.... How can anyone actually USE that sh*t on a day to day basis and/or actually think it looks good? Sure, everyone's different and we all have "personal taste" but for the love of sanity, how can anyone think that this VS or most all of the one's i've ever seen can be used in replacement of MS's version? It's worrying that in a world where there are so many dangerous things people are able to do, those who have such bad taste are able to walk the streets as there's something SERIOUSLY deficient in their judgement.

The human race must have come further than this? Surely?

I'm living in a Democracy and Visual Styles like this are still being released? Sheesh. :wacko:

Wow. You must be a pretty lonely, miserable person.

I mean seriously, people like Aero and they want it in different flavors. I know I do. And so do many others.

Would be curious to see what skins "you" use then if this isn't quality to you.

Oh god...sorry but do you have READ what you said???

The principles of social equality and respect for the individual within a community.

You are doing right here a good example of ANTI-DEMOCRACY by not respecting the work (And tastes) of others.

Know the meaning of what words you are using next time.

although it looks better than most new skin releases.. it IS still too bulky in areas for my taste and it wouldn't make it past a few hours use, if that. Frogboy, if you're looking at what i mean by bulky, look at the start button, caption buttons, the toolbar buttons especially.. but the overuse of the woodgrain texture, dark shadows and just horrible "glass" look make it not so well done in my opinion. I understand vista and/or aero uses a glass finish.. but wooden glass is just bad, and needs to be a bit more subtle.

I hate when people find a texture and think that plastering it EVERYWHERE on a theme makes it look professional.

There is no wooden glass.. anywhere. what are you talking about Joe? Next, what would you have done, spread dofferent wooden textures throughout the theme? Consitency matters.

Next... the glass is overdone? 30% opacity is overdone?

Bulky? 1-2 Pixel strokes are bulky? In whose book? A conservative Minimalists? Check Aero, Glass levels, stroke sizes.. the same.

Honestly I used to respect you, thesedays, for whatever reason you seem to have something negative to say about everything. I completely disagree with everything you said here. From a professional standpoint I believe your judgement has become impaired Joe.

Check the submission thread at WC, everyday folks wanting clean useable themes. by this time next week, 50,000 will have downloaded and I'll be SHOCKED if there are 7 negative comments.

So.. I have to ask.. who is right? Really.. everyone is.. in their opinion.. I just happen to STRONGLY disagree with yours.

A bit like your avatar then :)

Well, thanks for your critique. I appreciate it.

Ill make sure on the next one to use a zero pixel stroke to define edges. Thanks for saving us all from another embarrasment.

Take some criticism and shut up.

Ugly visual style, not the worst but no good either.

bulkiness? It's Aero but with a wood texture.

It looks hideous, I mean seriously what? how can anything like that look professional and modern? it looks more suitable for one of those HP laptops for kids if I'm honest :/

VistaGlass VS for me thanks...

I actually wonder how many people who say it's "ugly" or "bulky" have even used the skin, or much less, ever used WindowBlinds. I also don't think people realize that saying something is "ugly", or "it sucks" is not criticism, it's an insult. I also wonder why this only happens in this section, I don't see these comments being made by WB users when it comes to some of the .msstyles I see posted.

There is nothing bulky about this skin, the screenshot does not really represent the true look of this skin. But anyways, SkinStudio 6 is free, so feel free to create a skin because I for one would love to see what some of you think is "good".

    • Sure is a shame that Google spent all of its efforts on maximizing milking ###### ad revenue instead of actually improving their once ubiquitous and best-in-class search engine with, say, a useful AI that could actually improve search results... /S
    • The blatant anti-competitive nature of the EU's DMA rules are obscenely IRONIC and wholly damaging to upwards innovations from within the EU. Why?! Because it penalizes marketplace competitors whom the users CHOOSE to sign contracts with (basically dictating the product management models and strategies whilst handicapping popular marketplace choices) all under the guise of 'fair competition' and assuring continued operations. The only beneficiary (as the DMA is written and applied) are the toxic wannabes with whom most consumers have chosen to NOT do business with! What kind of bass-ackwards nonsense is that?! Not everyone in the marketplace that's lower-ranked deserves some sort of advantage whilst being otherwise garbage and toxic. Ugh, so dumb.
    • Assetto Corsa Competizione, House Flipper 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings in three games for Xbox players to try out, and they are House Flipper 2, Blades of Fire, and Assetto Corsa Competizione. Unlike in recent weeks, no games from this selection are being offered without a Game Pass subscription this time. This means only Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can jump into the three titles, even if they are single-player. From the trio, House Flipper 2 is for simulation fans. The title lets you buy run-down properties, renovate them, and sell them for a profit. A sandbox mode even lets you build houses from scratch too. Next, Blades of Fire lands as a fantasy adventure that combines metroidvania exploration with punishing combat. One unique aspect is that instead of finding loot, you'll be physically forging your own weapons. Lastly, we go back to simulators with Assetto Corsa Competizione, with the hit racing title offering a hardcore, highly competitive racing game focused entirely on GT3 and GT4 class cars. Everything from the tracks and tire physics to the dynamic weather conditions are focused on giving players an authentic driving experience. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: House Flipper 2 (Xbox Series X|S) Blades of Fire (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa Competizione (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 28, at 11:59 pm PT.
