Sergio - I see you've made something look pretty decent. I currently use SiCo as my theme / style. Are he colors in your them adjustable (mainly the golden bars on the drives - I prefer silver, even though I am using Grim's black and gold icon package - If I could get black and silver throughout I'd be happier than anything....

For a while I didn't know what the status of the project was do to the moving of webpages across server fiasco but I am glad it is all sorted out

BTW Did you get a PM from me about another artisit's theme a day or two ago?

I prefer light colour themes like this - Soft7

IMO its the only one better than those built into windows 7. In your screenshot youv got the explorer bar as silver and the bottom as green. If you had both as 1 colour it would give it a more unified look. Kudos on your effort though, its more than iv done lol.

I also like Soft7 but was a bit disappointed when he decided to make the buttons glow white

Use my tutorial and install UxStyle Core so you won't have to modify System Files

If you get the colors fixed back right in Soft7 than those two will be neck and neck

Thanks, Sergio. I used AveStyler to load it and it was good - but even after using the personalization settings to change the window color to the smoke (and make transparency clear) the start menu is still blue....

Are you talking about the template image he is using for the backdrop of the Start Menu?
