Instead of making something you'd expect from us we decided we'd create the something different...a dark theme. It seems most people prefer dark over light themes anyway, so I hope we did it justice!

I also just wanted to take a moment to thank all of our loyal fans. You're the reason we do this, and to still see an overwhelming interest in our themes to this day is really something special. News regarding some of our flagship themes is coming soon.

That's great to hear. One of the biggest complaints I've heard about light themes is that they're hard on the eyes.

The Aero frame color is entirely up to the user. If you'd like to make it darker be my guest! :)

Thanks guys!

Looks great, really nice dark theme, any reason the Firefox button is not present?

We tried to create a custom version of the Firefox button but felt it didn't do the theme justice, so we opted for a simple cog instead.

hmm. looks easy on my eyes. the aeroframe could be tinged with black as well. that would probably seal the deal in my opinion

same! This has a feel like my Chrome theme I'm using rite now... ^_^

You're doing something wrong if you're constantly looking at the toolbar of a browser. :p

Haha! :laugh:

Darker UIs have the dim the lights effect ....

I agree. I've never really used a dark theme before but I do think it has it's benefits.

I know you said news about your flagship themes is coming soon, and you don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but are you still working on your 'Minimal' and 'Metro 2.0' concept themes? The Metro theme in particular could be ideal for the imminent release of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and eventually Windows 8 as it matches the Metro style so closely.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
