Little too much going on.

I agree with bawx there's too much going on, a little in your face. But it looks well put together. (Y)

I think you got the technical capability but not the design style - how about you team up with someone and I'm sure we will have a winner on our hands :)

The windows, taskbar and shellstyle are clean and void of complicated details, I can't quite understand which part you are refering to or does the screenshot seem too cluttered to people, maybe you can give me some specific areas for improvement? Thanks!

Wow, ugly (N)

I remember you, the last style that you said the same thing won me $1k in a competition. :)

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I like it. It's nice and simplistic. :yes:

Yea, It's maybe the screenshot. But also that red colour on top of the black with that kind of sharp gradient, it's just a weird choice imo.

Personally I don't think black shiny themes very nice, Luna Element being the exception, I wouldn't use that style myself.

The style focuses on effects where everything lights up (powered state), has clickable animations and some depth.

The screecshot just does not do it justice.

OK, I get it. Next time I will do simple screenshots like others, I just thought people would prefer more transparency in the preview. I do think the red text on the caption is a bit off myself, so I'm gonna change it when I next do an update. Thanks for the feedback! :)

I don't remember you, congratulations? And it's still ugly.

Oh I've thought you've moved on, but thanks for your effort in continuing to keep tabs on my style threads though. :)

it's ok i guess something i wouldn't use daily.

Taste is more often then not divided.

It looks quite nice once you look past the overly cluttered screenshot and download the actual style.

I'd change perhaps certain things such as the start button which stands out from the rest of the design.

Anyways, good stuff dude!

I was also wondering if I should provide the .psd to the start button so people can customize their own text or logo into it. Would that be a good idea?

[Gavin001]

I dnt think the red matches it at all, the start button looks out of place and nasty, same with the captions! Also the title writing with the red and grey shadow thing is ugly aswell! It could work well maybe as an all black glossy theme cause the black looks alrite but we hav many of a black glossy themes! Wat theme won u $1k? i'd like to see it :)

I agree with the caption text needing change, but I'dd better collect more feedback to do more changes in a later update.

It's the TuneUp Style Contest, though I regretted deciding to enter a few days from the deadline, so it was rushed and the concept was pirated from this style, just souped down.

They could well be, they do styles for those customize softwares.

[Purple Haze]

I dunno, some parts I like (start button/taskbar), but everything (including those parts I like) are just too big and fat. Personally I like thinner themes that are classy but stay out of the way.

This is a standard size theme at the moment.

I've edited the caption text as suggested by some of the guys. Thanks for the feedback. :)
