Royale Anthracite

Just looking for a bit of feedback on something I've been toying with. I was tired of all the Vista/7 knockoffs, and just wanted something that was comfortable to me. It's mainly for my own personal use, but a friend of mine saw it and suggested I might want to release it.

First off, this is mostly not my work. It's a combination of a couple themes that I mostly liked, but had a few things that I wanted differently. A fair portion of this theme, at least the controls, is based on Royale Vista II by Doobee, which I've gotten permission to use via DeviantArt. I really loved the theme overall but was just "too gray" for my tastes. The buttons and progress bars I especially liked a lot.

A few bits, namely the taskbar/start menu are Vista Anthracite. As much as I dislike most Vista-ish themes, the bits I used I rather liked. I attempted to contact the author several times but have never gotten a response. I wasn't sure how to handle this; if it's a no-no, administrators feel free to remove this.

One or two bits are from XP's Luna, and overall I made a few very minor tweaks here and there.. not as gray overall, the tabs are much easier to see now, things like that.

Again, this is mostly for my own personal use, but figured I'd throw it out there if anyone else finds it nice on the eyes. The wallpaper that I use is in the archive as well.

      Nice rant! Expletive after expletive after expletive. Poor petal, I've touched a nerve. Would you like a tissue to wipe those tears away. Btw, nice one calling Neowin trash. Why would you stick around when you disrespect this site and the people behind it? Just go away if you feel that way.
