*WHAT'S NEW?
v2.0 (beta) changelog:
new:
- added a BASIC color scheme
- a new start button animation

- the taskbar buttons were changed
- the windows in the white color scheme have inner borders now

Except the MetroXP visual style, in the archive there is a folder which is named "bonus". Find out what it contains!
HINT: If you have Google Chrome and love Microsoft's metro, you may get nicely surprised.

I know this in beta but I just wanted to note that the start menu gets messed up if you have a lot of stuff on it.

Personaly i prefer UnderwaterSun themes better than vher528.What do you mean by smooth and refined?It's a matter of taste there are people that like more this kind of themes.What i didnt like in the vher528's themes was that they are too shiny and refined.I think UnderwaterSun does a great job and should not change his style =]I can't wait for the Metro Luna theme.

I really appreciate vher528's work. However, his last visual style was Windows 8 Release Preview. When he releases Windows 8 RTM visual style, I'll be glad to try it out and if I like it I'll be truly happy to use it instead of developing my own one. Thank you for your opinion.
