love the title bars and scrollbars but not so hot about the taskbar... the colour strip kinda does have a highlighting effect but kinda makes it look ugly too, nice try tho, sof the most part the metallic look you pulled off fine and the subtle look of the control buttons (minimize, maximize, close, help, etc) works a charm...

I'm not sure but they look like they're derived from MacIntosh ones to me.

This is probably the best minimalist skin/style/whatever that I've ever come across. It combines uncluttered elegance with a fair bit of visual flair, relative to some other skins I've seen. I like the line running along the taskbar, but I'd have to put a cross against the scrollbars, they're pretty dominant, visually. I think it would be nice if they were a little more laid-back. This is ousting whatever style I'm using at the moment, however

Also, what icons are they? they look pretty snazzy

This is a simple, sleek classy skin. Especially for a first skin! omg, if this is your first, I cant wait to see more.

Zulwarn's comment, above, struck me a bit strange and lacking common sense. Of course a new visual style artist isnt going to be at the level of Adni, Treetog, Chaninja, Mormegiel, etc.. They've been making Windowblinds skins and/or visual styles for years-- for crying out loud!

Ive seen some first time Visual styles from some that really suck, but at least the artist had to start somewhere.

Your visual style looks very well made, and not like a first-time attempt. Definitely something I'm looking forward to using on my desktop.

great theme

thanx for making a shellstyle also, a lot of people forget, and it's really annoying.

Zulwarn: without a doubt ChaNinja is a better, more established themer. This is my first attempt at a visual style, and it's simple on purpose, I'm more of a minimalist when it comes to themes!

Thanks all for your comments!

Nice Style - love the colors & thin bars - didn't think I'd ever have to replace one of Sosumi themes. Many Thanks.

Thanks all for your kind words!

titanpsp: I actually liked the way that happened

I did actually try moving the line up, but it became too small and made the theme look odd, especially when the taskbar is placed at the top of the screen.

Which winamp taskbar are you talking about btw, Winamp Deskband? If not, which was it? I'll make some icons that fit in with the theme, as well as the winamp matching skin I'm making!

Regards,

Very sleek design, great work bose. My only complaint is how the winamp taskbar buttons go up into the small strip of color at the top, but that could be easily fixed with another icon.

Thanks for sharing it with us.
