Something simple, multiple colour selections (white, black, green (pale), blue (pale) etc...). Also in a lot of simple minimalistic they make the Exit, Maximize and Minimize far too small, i like them quite big (not stupidly big ;) ) so they are easy to click.

I'm using Black at the moment and I'm looking for something new, it's sexy but i don't want transparency and also the Exit, Maximize and Minimize are too small :)

It obviously never saw the light of day. Not even sure if I've still got the psd.

Wow! I will help you look for the .psd if needed. Seriously, that is an awesome mockup.

I would love to see this as a Windowblinds theme: Watercolor Emico.

Agreed again. I think just a bit of transparency on the taskbar would be nice.

Yeah, plus a 4 pixel border, glow effects on the titlebar buttons, and maybe even a new startbutton for the WB version ;)

Aerial and emenience are probably two of my all time favorites. But again, since they never received updates for vista, they don't work correctly with the min/max/close glyphs on vista media center. So far the only skins that actually work correctly with media center are the ones put out by stardock.

If authors took the time to make sure the skin worked natively with vista (meaning all of vista) then that would be a perfect skin.

Something that doesn't remind you that you're using a 3rd party skin.

I wouldn't want to *notice* it being there, I'd rather it just blended in with my system.

Something simple, with usability always highest priority.

This one you posted, Frogboy, is alright. Not my taste, but still, that's closer to what I'm talking about than the others are :)

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
