I feel obligated to say that im using LE4 right now,and for the most part love it. but its my first time of using a theme like this, my top 3 were pseudo-os looking instead of eyecandy..

edit: how you can you guys like both LE4 and longhorn 5023 enough for both of them to qualify your top 3 spots. Aren't they more similar than diffrent..

Most of these themes are great looking and showcase a lot of skill by the authors, particularly the Luna Element theme.

However, as much as i like the look of most of these themes, they very rarely prove very useable on a day to day basis.

Luna element 3 was pure Genius and is my favourite. The gradient shading on the taskbar and start menu was nothing short of perfect.

Luna element 4 is a close second. The gradient shading is harsher and doesn't work as well as 3. Also, as good as the window buttons look, they aren't as functionally useable as those in 3. I'm using LE4 now, but only to see if i can get used to it.

As Em said suggested though, i'm going to start to try and make/edit Visual Styles of my own. I'm going to start with LE3 or LE4 i think to see what I can improve (before LE5 of course).

I bought SkinStudio, so i hope this is the best tool for the job.

Out of interest, what does Em of Luna Element fame use to make his VS's?

Opus Luna (Luna but good)

Sentinel (keeping it old skool)

As Alsheron says some skins are impractical, I have used all the ones I listed for a significant time.

Why? I don't think it's good if you release a bunch of stuff you aren't happy with... and it sounds like KoL is happy with his. =)

[golazo]

anything by stefanka or kol

[lhnz]

People should be making these choices links to be honest, otherwise who cares to read through it and then search the internet for an hour.

hehe

Google is your friend. It does not take hours to find a theme.

Ohh and I need to add Tiger and Fresco to that list too :laugh:
