It's a nice idea but some things just do not work. Here, let me show you.

First off, the start button has this very weird white and thick border surrounding it and it goes down into my desktop and partially covers the first icon (your zipped VS) and overlays it. Second, every button has a thin white border around it. Not only the buttons but every selectable word in the address bar in Explorer (like themes, control panel, personalization)

Also some other things I kind of dislike is the difference in the taskbar gradient. I think it has too much contrast, practically black and white. Maybe try a black with a dark gray or a really dark gray with a medium gray? And the start button is okay, but I personally don't like that it's dark. I'd like it better if it was a little brighter. But that's nitpicking.

It's a good take on a dark theme and I like the sharp corners but I just have some problems with it.

(Y) (Y) Thank you very much.

EDIT: Found a small bug: The start button is elevated 1 pixel above the taskbar when the taskbar is on the bottom of the screen. No big deal, but I thought you'd want to know. Everything else is perfect :yes:

I got the same problem as Gamerhomie. I'm running Windows Vista 32bit and have Sp1 installed. I love this visual style out of all the others I've tried. Is there some big difference in 64 bit and 32 bit for this to be happening?

Thanks

Well this is the first case that I've seen it happen with SP1. :s Its worked fine for everyone else with SP1 regardless of x86 or x64. I'll have to do a little research to figure out why its happening.

I'll Fix this and reup it later. Done.
