Yeah. I think it´s time for some new things. What about some more bold taskbars :D

The colours work really well on this one. I also enjoy dark backgrounds for my explorer/ finder. The contrast is way better than on white backgrounds..

thank you all! :)

@imrik
yep, i also like dark backgrounds alot, it's just more comfortable to the eyes. but unfonrtunately it also brings some disadvantages, windows is usually configured for dark fonts and bright backgrounds :/

A man after my own heart. I love this, I think it's my absolute favorite from you yet. The black windows and the white-ish titlebars, the scrollbar, everything, just perfection.

the image sticks out like a sore thumb.

i'm not really complaining though, just saying. it's a nice quiet, clean shot, and one of my favorites of yours.

i'm sorry, the visual style got destroyed due to some pc problems.

@akka: thank you! i liked how the pink worked as contrast to the blue, but sure not everybody likes it ;)
