New visual theme from Microsoft

from WinCustomize Forums
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.

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?

(just asking out of curiosity more than anything else)

#28....I've always wondered that, also. Asked many times, with no response.

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.

It is awesome.


I beg to differ...

I'd port it if I could find it...

It needs other color options...

Make it yellow and call it Royale with Cheese

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

(Pulp Fiction to those who don't know what the heck I'm talking about.)

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

Funny thing is the msn webpage looks just like this skin now. They changed it a few days back. Note the search bar has that glossy green color.
