Description
Smooth OSX style theme. Silver, black, and extremely sexy. Includes two wallpapers.This is the initial release, please leave feedback!
Thi was intended for release last year (2004), but I have been too busy as of late!
No shellstyle. Let me know if you want to make one for it :¬)
Peace.

Simple, minimal beautiful and usable.
Some detail things I see:
- The margins on the start menu items doesnt look very good, icons on the left column appear too much to the left, and the links text is too close to the active state's background top shadow.
- The black arrow on black start menu background is a bit difficult to see, maybe a medium shade of grey would be better.
- Love the inactive tabs with no delimiters. The right-most tab's inactive state's border blends with the background like some pixel was cut off. I dont like the active tab's with so marked lower border, it makes the tab look almost like a button, specially Firefox's tabs.
- The buttons could get some work, they look too similar to OpusOS or CodeOpus.
- Trebuchet doesnt look good at 8 pt IMO, I would like to use Tahoma too.

i've sent you also a message, so here i will repeate it:
-> please add more contrast to the inactive window colour (!in the taskbar!) when there is an event while it is inactive. i hope i could explain it clear enough

very very nice, just one complain : small icons in firefox are anormally spaced ... like large icons

Fantastic Style, thx a lot!
The large-font mode with frutiger would be awesome

When my friend call me by MSN, it is difficult to find the highlight of MSN messenger. PLZ modify it.
Thanks for your job.

Thanks again for the great feedback!
RC2 on the way, I've already added a full start panel and modded the start panel logo.
Need to fix some bugs first though!

I like this. :] it's very simple, but elegant. good choice on sticking to a silver/black color scheme, as most tend to go towards blue, which, to me, seems overused [even if it's not a bad color scheme].
it's somehow macish, in that it's minimal, smooth, and professional. but it's windows. nice. ^^

This is really one beautiful VS. I did a port to Windowblinds and added a full start and "borrowed" shellstyles from Inspirat for my own use and it does look great with a full start. Glad your going to add it. Great job

Very nice, looks really complex. One of the best themes I've seen this year, although i think it could use a little more detailed window headers.

looking good!!! Can you add one more silver-blue version? PLEASE!!!
btw, why is shellstyle so important? to me, it looks like everything is ok with this VS even without shellstyle...

And now that I think about it, a Tahoma font version would be nice, well the theme as it is can also use Tahoma but you have to tweak in the advanced dialog

Can't wait

I've been using the beta for a long time.
This theme is fantastic!
The only thing I would like is a Shapeshifter version for my Powerbook!

b0se, thank you for finally releasing this. You can disregard my email that I sent asking about this VS.
Do you give permission for people to port the style to other skins, like Trillian, Winamp and so on?

Looks great! But can I simply load it from the display proprieties or do I need a specific program? (Let me know if there already is a faq about this).
