ok, here is the mockup for my future theme, centra, i have been planning this theme for a while, and now, i have the perfect colors, which i think are quite a seducing blue, hmmm, tell me what you think and hope for a release pretty soon.

Honestly : sick.gif

The seducing blue is disgusting and the titlebar tab looks tacky.

The start button is very plain, in a bad way pinch.gif

I do like the taskbar buttons though thumbs_up.gif
pS-
the color is all wrong, the start button is to plain.

Well, I like the blue ... so keep it ... dunno about the titlebars though.

Ok themerguy,

I've been watching you release skin after skin after skin, to be honest I don't think your taking your time in making these skins.
Anyway about Centra, it's a bit too light coloured, that title bar style is just not so great, the colour of the start button suddenly changing to a green is just not my style.

Any that's what I have to say.

ok I will buck the trend here.....I don't like the color (too light) but I do like the overall concept of the theme. Darken up the blue and I think it works.

I like the window-control buttons, and I think the color's interesting, though not perfect. The title bar is classic WB tackiness, and everything else is too plain. You need to hit the middle ground between those two.

Don't worry about the non-constructive criticism... those guys are probably running an aero or aqua clone smile.gif

Like:
Title bar buttons - very fresh!
Start menu and it's button - although remove the S and replace it with a little logo or simple shape.
Colours are fine - I don't know why everyone always forgets WB allows you to recolour you skins.

Dont like:
The title bar's caption - I get the feeling you might be trying something different, just for the sake of being different. If you've got your heart set on that scheme, why dont you try make the upper flares have the same curve as the window corners - they'd look a lot better - guaranteed!
The taskbar gradient might need to be toned to down a bit.

Other than that, not bad at all! I hope you continue development, I'd love to see more of the skin - like all the widgets and stuff.
