Not bad.... a bit to much glass if you ask me......

Try something that does not look like vista at all. Base designs off window blinds skins (with out coping them) and make thinner cleaner lines. Also I think it may be cool if you base some designs off the old longhorn bulids....

Nice job on the concept pics! Looks quite reasonable.

Unfortunately - and this is no offense to your work - I hate Vista's Aero look, so I hope they make something more unified and usable with Windows 7.

May i ask what you dont like about it? just wondering?

I dont like the XP UI. and i think you can understand why.....

Vista? I guess hes afraid he'll get finger prints on the glass :lol:

Haha, i love the vista glass and i just hate the XP ui, can't use it anymore. I'm forced to put windowblinds on any XP user account i have, ever since i heard about it :p. Not that i use XP anymore anyway.

Yeah where did you get that wallpaper, it is rather amazing =]

It actually looks nice, nice job. :) Try making the window borders slimmer, too thick and I believe its one of things end users didn't like in Vista. I like the Gadgets especially the Media Player (which I hope will actually be back in for Win7) and the Alarm Clock. :)

I like simple and professional. The latest home-user Windows to do it correctly was Windows 2000. While XP and Vista have "Classic" themes - which I use, by the way - their default look seems bloated.

XP wasn't so bad. Eventually, people figured out how to hack the themes and make thinner start menus and window frames. I'm sure the same goes for Vista, but the fact that you need to modify the system in order for it to be professionally usable (or simply uncluttered) just doesn't sit right with me. It's like Windows wants you to know its there. With older versions and other operating systems, functionality was never sacrificed for the sake of eye candy.

Just my 2 cents.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
