New visual theme from Microsoft
Tuesday, June 29, 2004 by PixelPirate | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Looks like the boys in Redmond have created a new theme for Windows. Perhaps it's going to be a part of SP2?
Here's the link for screenshots and download.
Looks like a glossy version of Luna and reminds me a lot of the new Media Player 10 look.

2 days and still no WB port.
What's going on? You'd think people are actually making their own skins or something......

Its certaintly not horrible, but its a bandwagon job. They have just done what 85% of people are doing at the moment and adding a gloss effect to everything.

not trying to rain on anyone's parade here but...aren't there some permission issues involved in this? Or is Microsoft considered fair game?

I don't think you really need permission to port crap like that. Microsoft is probably happy that someone takes the time to give crap like that publicity.
I think they should have paid for the MSN9 skin here and used that one. It is awesome.

I'd port it if I could find it...
It needs other color options...

Essencay hits DWatson with a stick for giving somebody the idea of colorizing that MS skin

They only call it that in France. I don't know what a Whopper is called. I didn't go to Burger King.

It doesn't need other color options, it needs a complete make over.
