Guys, this is an emulation. If you don't like the program don't make your comments based on the dislike. We are supposed to be commenting on his skill, not our personal taste of the program he is emulating. There fore, all you should stop flaming the dude. Stengah's post is good. septor thats just outta line

I think it's a good effort but lacks polish. The fonts are kinda bleh and the rough edges clash with the nice shiny-ness of the task tray area but if those 2 things were worked on, and you were to attempt to take this idea even further i think it would come out nicely.

Glad you're willing to wear out the look even before it's on the market.

I think this is ugly also, keep the OS screenshots for the beta junkies. The VS is the worst and I don't like sidebars in general.

I agree that it's a good try. While I find the colors bland (-15), the edges a little choppy (-10) and the look bleak (-5), I think it's better than many people could achieve and shows skill and hard work. 1/2 of the people here can't even make a theme so don't worry about flamer posts; they're mostly jealous. It's also very easy to judge when you're not in the hot seat. Keep trying.

Where do you get that thing on the right side, with the clock and everything?

I think this is a very good job. Window panels are crisp and clean, no gawdy colors, no eye strain. Let the negative comments roll off your back; they are blind and have hairy palms anyway.
