Oooooooooooo I like this a lot, will the black version be long arriving?

The only trouble now will be deciding between this and Storm.

Thanks Krez for yet another brilliant vs.

Speak to you soon.

bishy.

Oh my, that does look awesome.

Mmmm, tasty indeed - great work

Radish™

Thanks guys, the next update should have the black substyle. May take a little time since it's not just a simple recolor, I want it to be solid

That is an awesome VS, but i have always been a sucker for any whistler inspired themes.

also i agree with Bishy, a black or grey version would be pimp.

any mirrors? main link is down

i am looking forward for the black color..

Must be because of the 404 in his post numbers

wow.. haha.. wat a concidence.. haha..

Please get the preview back up again! This seems like something good... lol

Wait!

Umm, guys just google search for it and it goes to deviantart

Wow
Whistler meets Live meets Gilouche meets Clearlooks meets Opus 3.0
I love it.

Looks like it's back up, but I provided a mirror to the Deviant Art page.

Quite interesting, I'm looking forward to the back substyle.

Looks great

This is awesome... high caliber work! Would you be able to add Purple/Violet to that list?

It looks nice, but apparently, Windows XP SP3 doesn't understand the new UXTheme.dll, even after restarting.

Looks very nice

Wow, looks really nice! Have you considered making a compact start menu version?

Gahhh, visual styles like this really make me miss XP (I'm on Vista) .

new buttons? yes? no?

Oh hey, those new ones look really good.

Yes, they look good. Though I'm not quite sure if they fit with the style...

Nice theme.

But damnit, why cant i apply some themes ?

mhmm love it ^^

happy to see this beautiful theme in black & orange

keep up, nice work!

Man, im so stupid....this is for XP.
Im running Vista.


Sry.

Hey, really nice theme, using it right now, thanks for the hard work. Those new colors will be a great addition.

The dark style is coming a long slow, but it's looking good. I'll get a screenshot for you guys in a couple days.

Here's a screenshot, I think it's just about done. Will be updating in a few days

Can we please, please get a Vista 64 bit with transparency for the black one? :]... or heck. All of them..

This is spectacularly beautiful.

Hi Krez,

A few days........a few days.......What am I supposed to do until then...........Oh I know I'll just drool at the screenshot !!!!!!!!! ;-)

Another brilliant substyle that is just spectacular.

Thanks for all the work you are doing on this.

Speak to you soon.

bishy.

Black version looks good so far.

What I'm missing from the screenshot is a darker scrollbar background though...

Stunning theme I think I have to put that on my XP install on my old PC, make using it when I have to more tolerable

I'll play with that a little.

Love it!

Nice theme..it's been a while since I'm seeing a good visual style around

Looking forward for the black theme! Take your time and polish it

Updated!

Looks gorgeous and was thinking about reinstalling XP, least I know I would have a great theme to put on right away

Black is nice, the other colors are decent. Good work sir

But it majorly f's up my firefox theme. All the tabs are in black and the text color is black, so can't read them

screenshot?

Thanks for the black version

Although overall, I don't really like how you change the buttons, especially the "colors" when you roll-over on the buttons..make your professional design looks 'cheap' ^^

Just my opinion though, dunno about others

nm, I see what you mean, looks like a Firefox bug. It's doesn't appear to be rendering the visual style correctly.




It looks cheap because it is cheap, can't beat free

Haha actually I designed new buttons because I felt the old ones were kind of bland looking. I thought the new ones added a nice touch, but I could be wrong

lol sorry don't mean to discourage

Might be just my taste. If others like it, then why not

Personally, I like the buttons with their color change, it looks more interesting than the standard lighter/darker and saturation effects that most visual styles use.

I'm with Lyon on this. I liked the previous buttons better. Dunno why. I can see what you were trying to do, but it's just not doing it for me.

All in all, a very nice skin and the one I'm using on my main PC at the moment.

As for the buttons, it's up to you!

It's been a long time since I've been dazzled. This is primo. Good job. Thanks.

Messing with lighter scroll bar colors and tabs.

Very nice theme! I would like to request a Compact Start Menu version. Thank you, and please keep it up.

compact start menu is coming in the next update, probably won't be for a while though.
