OK, this is one of the first times I am doing this, so go easy on me:

As an old user of the really old theme "Slick Orange" it cannot be said enough that I like orange in my themes. That being said, I don't think there is enough unification to the feel of this theme. For instance, the start panel looks great with the combo of the orange colors and the white (the offset in color just looks simple and clear though for the "All Programs" button I might suggest using the grey text color instead of the orange) but the taskbar doesn't look like it belongs to the start panel in terms of the color scheme. The grey/black/orange here looks muddled compared to the start panel and that throws off the feel of the whole theme.

If I might make a suggestion here; I would take the lighter color orange from the top of the start panel and carry that into the taskbar where the buttons would have the inset/beveled white and the border the darker orange.

Thanks for taking the time to make this theme and should you want someone to test it please PM me. Also I do look forward to seeing progress on this and await its release.

LOL@clockwork being the reason you've got a clock in the start menu, if you know anything about clockwork orange the movie book it has little to do with a clock.

Otherwise though as someone else said I'm a bit let down that it has nothing to do with the movie the movie was real classy yet erratic and bizzare all at the same time.

my favourite colour is orange so dont get me wrong, but this is just wrong. one thing that has caught my eye though is that windows clock in the start menu. does that function as a clock? if so thats pretty cool.

also i hated the movie clockwork orange. everyone who likes seeing/practicing rape raise their hands to be shot

Raise your hand if you didnt get the movie :rolleyes:

Thanks for the feedback. I don't mean to be a jerk but not even a 'looks nice' or 'not my taste'?

Sorry. I like a lot this one, the same with your friend?s other works. its just that I hate when people judge a piece of art (the movie) without really understanding it.

      AFAIK you shouldn't be getting a consent popup at all from Canada, so I think it is to do with a VPN or private/secure DNS.
