Just a little preview of the great new TSS2000 custom theme releasing soon. All comments appreciated.

This will be a free release on my site and TSS2000 based upon their logins found elsewhere on this site. It will be released in two colors, blue (shown) and black.

Releasing soon!

I really Like this Lightstar, The perfect blue..nice matching attractive elements...

Thumbs up from me on this one.

Great job.

not bad....

not too bad.. good job

Wicked, can't wait.

more color options...... but it looks nice.

and everything is too square.

i'll use it

its really blue

good work

nice theme

nice.

can you say eww?

A Bit too bulky for me, it's nice though

Well The Logon Was Much Better .. Seemed Like If It Was Ported To VS It Should be Sleek And Thin Not Big And Bulky ...

yes

looks nice.

its toooo blue ... eyes are paining

Well once again, you've showed you have no sense of style at all. You made a stylish, sleek logon into childs play. Work on making it simpler or give up. You need all the critisism you need atm.

OK, comments like these are why I never post at this site. I only did this at anothers recommendation to get constructive comments, not verbal abuse. Either backup your comments with suggestions other than 'make it simpler', or do not comment at all please. This goes for anyone else who does not like it, tell me how to make it better, or again, don't comment at all. Thank you.

I am sorry man, you need to make the style more toned down and sleek like the logon. There is simply too much going on with thise theme. It reminds me of when windows blinds first came out for windows 98 and people would make all these complicated themes that had so much in them just because they were dying to get away from the windows classic look. However, the theme above does not match the TSS2000 login screen at all. The color matches, sure, but the idea behind the theme is too complex. If you look at the login screen, it is very smooth and soft, not hard and complicated.

Well thank you Wolken007! The first person to make a completely constructive comment, I really appreciate that and will definitely take your recommendations into consideration.

I am glad that I could help

I really like it.

hmm, dont know, something feels off... but its not bad at all

Cant really tell you whats wrong, because everyone has already told you. And this theme reminds me of every other one youv'e made. Bloated.

Personally I don't like it , But It might look better when its finished

this looks very promising - i look forward to it's completion and release

wow, alan is moaning about someones theme, this coming from the king of the rippers .... some people have nerves i tell yah

Looks good, but not for my taste.

Thank you once again for your kind words sir. You have been placed on my ignore list.

Hey zeino as if you could talk, you are the king ripper at neowin.

Please go to the first post of this style and view the new screenshots. I have updated the FrameCaption's, Toolbar background, system Buttons and Scrollers to be more in line with the original look lof the login. Please comment constructively. Thank you.

It's looking nice, I think the only gripe I have is with the tabs, I don't like the black to blue fade. Thats probably the only thing I can see. Its a nice change from your other themes thats for sure.

It looks better, but it still doesn't match the logon screen. My only concern with the theme now is that you have too many gradients in the theme. Your framecaption now fades into the toolbarbackground.bmp with a good gradient, but it is still contrasts too much. You should make the gradients smoother be making the dark part of the toolbarbackground.bmp a little lighter so it gives it a much cleaner feel. Also, in the framecaption you still have that bar, which is fine, but it contains yet another gradient. It makes the theme look sloppy in my opinion. Additionally, I think you should consider changing the status bar background at the bottom of the screenshot, because it contains another gradient which is different than the first two. All of these different gradients combined don't give a very unified feel. It still doesn't match the smooth look of the logon screen, it has a rugged, unpolished feel. Just my two cents.

Sorry about the double post, but i also just realized that the logon screen matches perfectly with Stefenka's royale inspirat special edition theme.

Once again, thanks Wolken007! and Thrice, I agree, thanks!

Ok, I have now taken all recommendations into consideration, a big thanks to those providing constructive comments, I incorporated a lot of them.

I have virtually redone everything based on recommendations, but I have left a few things in that I feel 'make' the theme. I also thinned the caption bar a bit, looks nice! This will be releasing real soon, so check my site or TSS2000 often!

i really like this, good work man

not enough definition for me...just all blends together into a blue lagoon...

its not even a nice blue

Ooooh I want it.... nice theme.

This looks a whole lot better than it did. The only suggestion i have is i think that it needs thinner titlebars and the start menu needs some help. But this looks great and shows much promise.

Hehe man ur funny, because some people still hold onto the past, like yourself. I thought I had shown with my last themes that I had changed, but obviously not to you. Kudos to you for trying to make a statement tho.

your theme is beautiful but it doesnt match that logon..make it more thinner

edit:
where can i get those icons?

not my style but good work

and damn Wolken007 is still around

<3 your windowblind themes < i hope your the same person >

thanks, you told me the same thing in PM, except you added moron to the end ... anyways, wtf kind of advice is 'do this or give up'

anyways, lightstar, it's starting to look alot better things are starting to come together ... although, like predator said, it's 'too' blue ... might look good with some color in there besides blue, maybe a light grey ... or white ??

Alan just cant make a good theme anymore, sorry dude, but its the truth

you're honestly the last one that should come in here acting like some big-shot asshole...take it to another forum

anyway, lightstar, i honestly think its a badass theme, and even though i didnt look at the logon, i dont care, i dont use a login anyway, i just have my computer auto-load

Anyway, the theme is great, i see how a few people have complained about the titlebar, i like it, i personally think it matches, but i cant say the colors are off, because well, im color blind

anyway, release this soon, i want to test it out

oh awesome you changed the tabs! The new tabs are wonderful! Awesome theme now.

OK, getting close to final now all:
