Suggestions for a dark/glass skin (not too dark)
Friday, September 21, 2012 by MKANET | Discussion: OS Customization
Every once in a while I'll do a search to see if I see any skins I like better than the custom one I use. I realize and respect that everyone's taste can be completely different; so, I know that there isn't such a thing as a "best" skin since my idea of best skin might be different than someone else's. However, I'm hoping someone might have seen a skin or two that may fit into the description below:
I'm looking for a dark/glassy skin (using transparency effectively). Im not really into old-school non-transparent themes like Win8. Im also not into themes on the extreme side that are more appropriate for gamers or teenagers. I've seen a couple sleek classy-looking dark themes; however, they are just a tad bit too dark for me taste.
Below is a screenshot of my desktop using a custom-modified version of the "INVI 4Vs" theme:

There's one more I'm going to throw out here because it's got a Win7 and I'm really fond of it

Another top quality skin to look at is Vienna 3-Rapture by vStyler. It's one of my all time favorites.

This is my favorite one out of the the list I've seen so far. The tinted one was my second favorite. I will check Vienna 30Rapture for sure.
Thanks everyone for posting. If there are any other ones similar to this, please post here.

Another good one (premium skin): Sirus
https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/6343/
After so many years it still one of my most favourites. It even got updates for Vista and 7 \m/
It's a shame that this skin never recieved an update for Vista nor 7; https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/6119/
Still my most favourite of all... But it is somewhat usable on 7.
Edit: Those three (free) skins may be interesting too:
Se7en Metro: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7658/
Another Se7en: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/7685/
