I must say...this is one of the visually stunning and most productive visual styles I have seen yet. Keep up the outstanding work and hopefully others will follow.

Also, I cannot wait to get my hands on a working copy of the desktop. My goal is to get rid of desktop icons all together and just be able to press those buttons.

I have just been playing around with this and I have a "few" suggestions/Bugs..

1) On the side menu bar the text on the edge under the first box is not visible... May I suggest a change of colour?

2) The message box could use a change from the beige to the same white as the other windows..

3) May I suggest a nice blue colour on the right click menu or a change to the beigy colour you have on your menu tops...

4) Perhaps you could change the background for the control panel window/the music/the movies/the pictures folders...

5) as well I find that the start menu new programs highlight is too bright.. could you tone it down?

These are just a few constructive ideas... In no way are these to put down your work of art...

I relize this is a first beta and not all of the stuff is finished, that is why there are a few probs.. I believe if we can give you some info we can help you improve/speed its development. I feel this will be a very good theme keep up the good work!

I wish I had the talent to do this.. but all I can do now is to help improve it...

Above all a very good start! THX A lot!

First off great first beta, and great project.

Second, for you guys out there the active desktop isn't finished and only the time works

Third, I think that as for my comments on the visual style were summed up two posts b4 and the desktop is REAL COOL

KEEP ON TRUCKIN' OSIRIS :)

@Bishop...

the reason why you can't see those items on the desktop is because once you activate the html desktop it acts as a large window over your desktop.. as of right now it is not complete.. it is more of a background rather than anything right now... you can play around with it and get it to work, but there is no point until its completion

Wow 1gb downloaded already, im surprised. And its Rating very well on themeXP.

Thanks all for your comments, you have inspried me to keep on "Trucking" with the project.

The fade idea on page load nice idea but might take alot of resources for such a one off effect.

And thantos thanks for your suggestions I indeed like alot of theme, and sorry about the new programs, I mean to change it but I disabled the option thus forgot about the bright effect.

If anyone else knows

1. Another site I could host my site on

2. Great With HTML/FLASH im sort of new to flash and I cant get the Javascript code for the Desktop menus to work with the Flash so if you think you can help with any of those two by all means please get in touch. Add me to messenger or PM Thanks.

Also for those of you who are having trouble locating it

Search for Freestyle on ThemeXP or just

Click Here To go straight to the download on ThemeXP. If you download it from there, feel free to vote. Thanks all.

I tell you ive made some great advancements in the theme particulary with the shellstyle.dll a beta2 should be on the road soon.

And hopefully with the help of JoGro123 we will be able to get the desktop working too.

The pictures with the lines in them are the Blue - UserPanel and Logoffbackground.

see this is why its Beta, RC's hack out the tiny problems like 1 line over a thing as you pointed out. Ill look into that but the major changes are more important in fixing then the minor ones.

Dont worry before the final ill fix it, im just saying. Actually ill see if I can fix it for Beta2, I tell ya im loving the changes ive made to the ShellStyle, really gives it a vibrant and spectacular professional feel. Anyway without giving too much away ill move on.

As for the white well yer, I dunno ive never been a fan of the single coloured opposite sides, ill go make one and see what I think but.

Thanks again for your comments and suggestions, rest assured they arent falling on deaf ears.
