Thanks - very nice - using the blue now.
actually looks good, quite surprising (i don't usually like themes based on websites....but i don't really see how this one relates to neowin

)

Looks alright though I gotta be honest, "Neowin" does not pop into my head when looking at it - Just looks like another decent looking VS.

Looks good. Using the blue one as well.
Looks really, really good! Thank you!

Very simple and plain, without the added effects for no reason, I like it

Wow, that looks pretty nice... shame I'm not on XP

I think his naming scheme really didn't have to do with this site.... but just a word he came up with.

Why is the start button is not replaced by the neowin logo ? It would be nice to add that "neowin" touch.
Good work anyway !!!

Looks good to me, honestly if it had a giant neowin logo on the start bar, etc. I would never use it. I love neowin as a website...but does it really need to take over our desktops?

Can anyone ask the author to do compact start menus? Looks smooth, but REALLY reminds me of another similar theme.

It does though, the aurthor even says it was inspired by the forum. He's probably just a lurker.

The style looks nice but the Control Panel lags when you open it. Try it and see. I don't see this happening with my previous style Windows 7. A bug maybe?

Yes

^You think it'd be more appropriate to do so with window blinds.

Doesn't look anything like Neowin but OK. Still great.

I suggest changing the color from the dull brown to blue (like NEOWIN!) That would make it a little more Neowin-related.

@ Skullpture
There's more than one color.

It's a nice visual style.
But I won't be using it.

It's a nice theme, I'll try it out for a while...

Looks perfect. And since I'm going from Windows 7 back to XP on my PC
A couple bugs:
- The caption buttons (when maximized) are noticeably not transparent (you can see the flat bounding box behind the icons)
- The tray expand icon has a row of white pixels on the mousedown frame
Otherwise, a great clean theme! I'll be using it as long as I can stand noticing those bugs XD

Would be nice if there was a black one! And maybe if the font were a bit smaller.

It's nice but...
...it needs more Neowin look and feel.
