Description
Preview 2 (almost done!
) SO not for download as of yet...Updates:
:: Slightly modified Start Button
:: New Start panel, (gradient in apps section, lots of new things)
:: No "normal" background on taskbar buttons
:: New Mouseover on taskbar buttons
:: New shellstyle (May change)
:: Awesome, swirly glass effects (may be same as pre.1)
:: Perfectly transparent taskbar
:: The best X/min/max (caption) buttons ever. They're no longer white.
:: Caption buttons are BLACK on mouseover
Todo:
:: Something with the UserPic on the Start Panel...
:: Maybe Change the shellstyle...
:: Maybe add some color? (Yellow?
Suggestions?):: Change the broseui.dll (the explorer stuff)
:: Find out how to center titlebar text
:: Other little hex-editing thingies...
Have any suggestions or ideas (or see any problems)?

it looks very nice cant wait for the final version, mabey could make some buttons that match the skin instead of using the default,and onquestion: what program will i use to apply the skin?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm going to make this as different from Aero as possible... And to apply it, the easiest program to use is called VistaGlazz, try googling it
Tutorials on how to do it can be found on other themes

Thank you so much
Glad someone noticed it
In the final, it has only a black border, with no lighter parts... does that sound good?

No problem chaps. I just like the way it looks. Makes it look like a glass around the start menu which is cool

BTW, the thickness of the taskbar should be kept default for the stray icons to display properly.
One more thing, the taskbar button can be more flashy like this one : [link] (this may not be ideal one but plz take a look

How is this? - [link]
I know it's still a windows flag...

Awesome, the best I've seen so far
But could you change the start button to something more flashy? (other symbols like snow or some alien face
And about the details pane, why don't you add the vector stuffs like the one in your "site idea V2- U3" (the blue and green stuff on the top, simply amazing to me), only black and grey is a little bit boring
And lastly, plz plz plz don't add Mac OS stuffs to Vista (many others do so, but it's kinda bad 
PS: Could you plz keep the Calibri font? It looks great on Vista (easy to see, easy to read

I really like it, though i would have made the startmenu outlines way thinner.
Could look good as well
I'll test your final for sure

This is sexy bro you will have more downloads if you stick to the windows flag start button. Suggestion on the button on mouse over how about a small glow on the center of the windows orb nothing too big just enough where its noticeable I mean the center not the outer orb hopefully i explained my self correcly
