Hi,
do look and think about it a bit ( the window borders/edges are a bit to huge in my screen but why not make a theme a bit more individual ?").
But the rest is great ( especially the gradients , did remove some in my little png ( didn`t want that sry.) Is it going to be a premium theme ..?
Do think that more words are a unecessary comment here, since the theme is already really good.

Master Tom, this looks really good...the hues/glows/gradients...outstanding. Like the start button as well. Solid skinning!

Thanks for the comments Frieder, but I think it looks better the way I have it, and yes it will be a Master Skin.

Hi
thx for your comment.
.Yeah you have a dark background and then your variant really looks better. My comment was just an idea, which will be used in a indirect way in the theme after my next colorfree "color of time" theme. Thx to your theme and another idea i' ll upload a new completly different theme (other button glyphs/gradient base colors /button shapes and design etc.) soon. It ’ll be so much different that you can’ t tell me why its based on your theme i promise. Looking at such great themes is good for learning how to make new skins. !!!
Thx Tom for sharing such a great theme. And yes the lighning effects are wonderful !
Keep up your great and good artwork!
best regards bluedxca93

Think you should've kept the outer glow on the Captiontop. The awesome effect you have on the startmenue gets lost.
Otherwise an Awesome concept !

Could not keep the glow on the top or bottom frame because it compressed when re-sizing a window to the point where it looked really awful, and there was no fix Andrew. Thanks for the comment though.
