Hi everyone,
I know I haven't been active lately. The main reason why is that my job has become much more time consuming. When I started making themes for Windows 8, the main reason why was because the default theme in my opinion looked mediocre at best. I wanted to make Windows look better, so I bought WSB and started theming away. When the time Windows 8.1 came around, I had to update all my themes to make them compatible. This wasn't so time consuming as you could just tweak a few things here and there to make it work. With Windows 10 however, the structure of visual styles have changed so much that you would have to start from a clean slate. I have attempted to port several of my themes, but it proves to be very time consuming, something that I don't have much of. Another issue is that Windows 10 is now a service, meaning that updates will be rolled out in increments. This means that visual styles could break at any time, which means themes will have to be updated very often. The worst case scenario would be that Microsoft rolls out an update that would softbrick your computer due to incompatibility with a custom theme; this is something I do not want to handle or be involve in. All of this and the lack of motivation is why I have yet to release any updated themes for Windows 10. The last reason would be that I'm content with how Windows 10 looks. The interface has been unified and Microsoft is continuing to make things look better.
I'll still be creating awesome things, but I will most likely stay away from visual styles.
Here's some good news. I'm proud to present my next Android icon pack, Quantum Dots. You can find more info about it here .

Could I possibly port over/update your themes to 10 TH2 and beyond? I've got experience with porting over themes to 10 TH2 and up. Full credits will be given of course.

That is very unfortunate. Your Silk for Windows 10 theme really makes Windows 10 beautiful. Its tragic to lose it. Maybe I'll stick to build 10240 using LTSB and not upgrade so I can continue to use Silk when it last worked.

Thanks for the update! I really love that Wallpaper (your latest Win10 one that is). I would love to see more where that came from.

Sucks that you decided to stray away from theming as your themes looked quite nice imo. Good to see you back here and making new stuff! You've got a good imagination with icon design and I'm looking forward to your progress and future projects.
