Well, it's August, already. Hottest month over with...hoping (against hope) August will be somehow better.
Decided to give tribute to three great Master skinners, and really good people...one of whom is here in memory only, Xiandi (Lady X), PoSmedley, and WebGizmos. They collaborated to create a beautiful skin, my desktop of the month: Xiandi the Windowblind and CursorFX, PoSmedley, the walls, and WebGizmos, the Winstep Xtreme.
We're talkin' Metropolite:

Slick new progress bar taskbar button and some changes to some file explorer elements to make the darker text a litter easier to read. Just cant change that black font in the main explorer window. (One of the WB11 betas it changed to white when you set the system to darkmode, but was lost when WB11 released)

I like what the windowblind did to Photoshop! Pretty good for a 'blind from 2009, on a Windows 10 computer!
WindowBlind is Vampothika's "TempleOblivion," the background wallpaper (no title version), is her from "Emperon 5" Windowblind. So here I have something old and something new from the same creator!

IRATUS Theme
This Theme was actually Very Dark in colour with some very Dark Parts, so we lightened it up making it Silver with my preferred Vivid Blue Text Colour.

HAL by V-Styler and so generously maintained by LightStar.
And with some great Icons from AceMatrix using DesdktopX.

Indeed. Lightstar's been a great friend to v. John's skins will be on LS's new site, as well. Love HAL, BDBF.

I wonder why noone includes explorer in screenshots anymore.
VS: Full Black Yellow Theme for Windows 11 by cleodesktop.
