Tribute - RELEASED
Saturday, August 23, 2014 by LightStar | Discussion: Sneak Previews
Originally designed as a older Windows XP visual style in 2003 and in cooperation with her fan site, I am now remaking my Tribute theme for Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1. Will come in two versions, with and without the roses, etc. Anyone care to guess who this beautiful lady is? 
Releasing in September 2014! Comments welcome as always!

Reckon it will be a popular one for Valentine's Day too...

This is a nice one. I like the red & black combos. Definitely looking forward to this.
As for the beautiful lady...could she have the initials S.B.?

Hi,
first of all a real nice skin. damn its dark . Keep up the good artwork.
Some over critical but perhaps helpful comments:
do check the start menu with more items. Perhaps you may create a small 3px blended bottom and top border for inner application menu and make the right left gradients a bit smaller or wider ( it looks a bit to much contured in my opinion) .
The panel buttons do overlay the panel bg in an very unpleasant way. You might think a bit about the button border padding ( especially top and bottom. Might be a criteria if you want to use it on a small resolution.
Please Do understand that these comments were over critical and that your theme is really great and nice looking. Perhaps you might take them into consideration.

Frieder,
I always check all my skins with more and less items on the start menu, and I like the item mouseover buttons the way they are. Thanks for your comments.
