A theme I have wanted to do for a long time, never got around to it, until now.
Spent quite a bit of time on just the start menu...
Might just enter GUIC.. who knows.. 
Will post more as I go...
Cheers!

Wow, best red WB since Venom. Nobody does red as well as you do!

i like the look...especially the HAL of the top startmenu is looking tasty...
but im not a fan of the radialgradient (the zones are a bit visible) in this screenshot, i would like to see them lowered a bit in opacity , while i think they won´t be visible when it´s scaled down...Anyway very nice concept so far wonder what you will do for frames and taskbar

I don't have the critical 'eye' to be able to make suggestions, probably because I'm not a skinner. I do know that I like this and you should go ahead and enter it in the GUIC.

'HAL' [9000] in 2001 was a quaint alphabet shift of 'IBM'.....I'd kinda use the serif 'striped' font of the 'IBM' for the 'HAL'....
Other than that....looks clean and classy...

Hmm.. do u know the name of the font Jafo? Just used the first Sci-fi font that caught my eye thus far for the preview.
Thanks everyone... Rolo.. the radial gradient u speak of.. is a lens flare... still working on the small stuff tho, subject to change.

A quick search says the font used was Eurostile Bold Extended #2.
For a bit more about the panel; http://www.therpf.com/f9/hal-9000-panel-2001-space-odyssey-pg-119324/
Gotta love Google

One of those rare moments when I get beat to the draw by Jafo.
I think the striped font would look good on the loading screen.

It looks like I'll have to buy another one....
Thanks for that visual Jim!
