For those that I forgot to mention, big big thanks to all of you..
And to my friend (who banned me on his page) that thinking that I was manipulating the download, I'm not angry at you. It's your own opinion and I respect that.. I'm open for reconciliation...
Again, thanks to all who download this theme. This is all for you. Hope you will like the Aero version of this which will be release next week.

i love this theme. i formatted my macbook pro just to install this
anyway i have one problem. the font on the menu (when you right click) is too thin and hard to see. i adjusted cleartype text and put the thickest font but still doesn't help. if you can make it 20% thicker this theme would be perfect.
4.5/5 now

Thanks for the feedback. Do you mean the "context menu"? (view, Sort by, Refresh, etc.). I've used Segoe UI Semi Light font which is very thin by default. I'll see what I can do and make it ok in the updated version.

Yes the context menu. Apart from that the theme is perfect. Thank you for making such an amazing piece of art

From what I see here, I love it!
The only thing I would change is moving the Windows icon on the taskbar up about 3-4 pixels - its not really centered.

if you could make a version where the taskbar is black, i'd call it perfect.
