A very nice visual style indeed! The title bar style is stunning. Gosh, if I had to nickpick, I would only whisper that the check boxes (e.g., that might appear in a web page) when checked are so dark that the check mark is barely visible. Additionally the little directional boxes before each folder in file manager view are also so dark that you can't even see the directional arrows indicating sub-folder(s) or no sub-folder(s). I'm embarrassed to mention these small imperfections in "Sustenance Ergo."

Otherwise, thank you for a great work! :)

I like the white version, but I don't like the rounded box around the titlebar text... personally I'd prefer just a plain titlebar. Also, the caption buttons don't seem to react to mouseover, which is a pity, I like such little details... otherwise fantastic theme!

Nice work Kol, ive been thinking i needed to do something Neowin'y for a while now and this has given me some good motivation. Very nice interpretation of the Luna style.

My only complaints would be inactive windows without the buttons look kinda oogey and the gradient on the startuser image is a little unsmooth.

My suggestions:

Replace the red "close" button (which appears at the top of a widow) with a green one - it will fit the rest of the VS better.

Make a biggeer Start button - the current one is a little bit small.

Most of the skin is absolutely GREAT :laugh:

I don't see how that'd improve this great visual style. I really like it!

Great work, as usual KoL!

The start button is green so why I thought why not the close button too? I know that in the Windows XP blue theme it is like that but I think that green looks better with blue than red. Also - the start button is a little bit small.

But yes - this skin is great. There's no much to change.

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
