Would anyone be interested in this?
I think it's pretty different from what seems to be popular these days. Any point in continuing to work on it?
Also, this being my first real attempt at a VS, does anyone know exactly I can change the colors in the Menu bar (File, Edit, etc)? I can't seem to find it...
That's pretty freakin bright..

Thanks for the comments everyone.
I'd like to finish the VS with this color first and then see what variations I include once I put it up for download.

Not this green,
please.
Lithium is a silvery-gray (as are most metals) please something silvery gray. But not green, especially
that green. It's... It's

I could have sworn I said I was going to include different colors once I finished the green, yet people keep requesting it...

That's just not necessary.

Anyway, I have some bad news:
I downloaded the trial for Stylebuilder 2.x, tried applying the VS with it, and got an error. I tried downgrading back to 1.x and its still giving me errors when I try to apply.
After many attempts, I believe I am going to switch to Windowblinds. I believe I am not as limited in what I can do with it.
Perhaps I will start from scratch, seeing as how I didnt get far with the VS anyway, and start off with a different color scheme but keeping the same style.

I hope you guys can work somthing out. I don't want to install WB just yet.

Please keep the same colour!! Also, a few suggested colour themes- Purple, Orange, Blue, Grey, Black, Red and maybe even Yellow!
Thanks for making something that looks soooo great!

Thanks to everyone who commented so far.

Quick question though:
WB has a colouring feature that lets you change the color on-the-fly. Since it's now a WB theme, should I still make different color variations?
OT: I was suprised to see an old face [Jorge] when I was doing my daily neowin-whoring.
As far as the visual style is concerned, I think the color scheme needs to be tweaked (preferably darker) and I'd definitely work on multiple substyles. A lot of people have a disliking for green, particularly neon green.
Just a thought
I actually like that colour...but a black tastbar with a green start button with that colour would be AMAZING...I would design a mock up but I have 2 problems right now.
1. I'm not at home with Photoshop
2. I'm a little intoxicated.
But the second comment should make you want to finish this. Even an intoxicated guy (and when I'm like that I tell the truth more) tells you it's good. Actually if you had a black task bar with a green button, I would place this as my main theme.

I wonder, must the poor guy state again that he is working on multiple colors for release?...WB or not...
