I don't know what to do, I feel like it's almost done but there are major things to fix before release...
:P

Tell me what you think


Also, I was thinking about changing the name. Maybe something like Xenon or Radon? Neon is my #1 choice but Invaderjohn has a theme called Neion and I don't know if that would be cool. So, any good name suggestions are welcome.

looks very nice!
though is there any change you could make an option to have the original Vista orb?
and since you asked what we think about it: very nice, just one bad thing: the whole skin is glossy, except for the taskbar
maybe you could make some better looking buttons for it?

I think I will release an alternate version with the original start orb, and yeah, I might work on the taskbar + buttons, but to save time they may remain similar to they are shown

I can't distinguish which one of those taskbar buttons would correspond to an IM conversation prompt, nor do I know if it's even there, but I think you should make it a bit more distiguishable than those. For example, using some sort of blue (like the type of blue you used in the control panel shell pane's top and bottom borders).

Other than that, all I have to say is, hurry the hell up and release it, I've been waiting forever xD

Yeah, the flash button has a light highlight and a blue shadow, still working on it, that's why it's not in the preview.

I'm still sad that there isn't gonna be a xp version :(
but yeah, it's amazingly amazing!

and i think neon would be fine, i mean, you didn't copy his design. or did you?

I like this a lot! Good work on the captions buttons, start menu & the CP shell :nod:

Few things to note yet... The scrollbars are still default.

Looking at the Explorer's window too much horizontal gradients hits at my eyes... You see, the - from the top - gradient on the frame, then lower - gradient on the address bar and the again - gradient on the folder band. This ain't too pleasant, and cause a distraction.

Beside that, the taskbar gradient is too boring & below the overall quality of the style.

And I have to say a word about the sorting tabs yet - it's like they are from different vs! They don't fit :)

But overall, as I said - great work :)
