Is this likely to ever get ported to a Windows 8.1 Visual Style?
Used this religiously on my old Windows 7 laptop - flawless work!

Also, am I right in thinking this style uses the Segoe UI font?

i didnt release these icons. And i didnt use them outside of this theme so i deleted them when i made new ones based on metro design. You can download those from my page.

I really like this. Yet I'm wondering if you're using a custom theme for Firefox to make it more fitted for your theme?

Well, I guess I spoke out of place last year. I still use this as my default, although it is becoming increasingly more difficult. If only I could figure out how to add back transparency in place of the white; and everything would be perfect. With the latest version of Chrome, this isn't a huge problem anymore. With the current theme of Firefox, it's a minor problem. With Firefox's incoming Australis (curvy tabs) update, the white over aero practically breaks the UI of Firefox all together.
Is there anyone officially, or unofficially who could help me implement transparency as seen in the authors other work? It seems as if the white was just put in as a place holder as this was a rushed concept, but with no bugs other than this; it's perfect!
I would be forever grateful for any help. Katharos this is the first theme I have found attractive for Windows 7, period. Windows 8 is going to make things very difficult for me even more. I'd really like to be able to enjoy my personalization for just a bit longer. Getting this theme fixed, would allow me to do just that.
Thank you!

The only theme I could find for Windows 7 that I like after using Luna Element for so many years, thank you for that. I do have one suggestion and that is to modify the drive space progress gray into the blue shared by the blue hue used throughout the themes other progress indicators (ie. IE download progress)

drive space is a stat. not progress indicator.
blue requires attention.

I love the theme...
However, I can't get the Close, Maximize, and Minimize icons to go away from the top right corner of the windows.
Any suggestions?

Why there's no orb for the start menu, in the preview of the theme ?
I would have liked a "white orb", it would match the theme better I think.

What if you make a more complex start button ???

WTF!! I really want your icons!! Did you upload them?

Wow! This is my new default theme. I originally stumbled upon Shine 2.0, then Blend 2.0, and after about 5 minutes in your gallery, Katharos. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to updates!

Great theme, but having the transparent bit in the titlebar when maxmized would make it truly epic

An amazing theme. I've kept it for over 3 months now (the longest for any I've used).
Here's a recent screenshot.

i thought this theme wasnt liked my ppl much.
it was my personal favorite.

I'd use the shine 2.0, but I really love the minimize/close buttons in katharos.

Awesome work, I love the minimalist element added in!

Dude I hope you don't mind I had to mod your theme for my personal use. I just could not take the top title bar with all that white. So I took your Win7 Shine 2.0 them and imported DWMWindow_FrameTopImage into this theme with Win7 Style Builder and WALLA! Nice Glass Title Bar:
