Seems pretty sweet

I don't do WindowsBlinds. Bloatware and resource hogs blow nuggets. Anyway, I like my icons.

 

[Daeron Tinúviel]

i have WB and in not resource hog like before in fact it runs better thtan using the uxtheme but it lacks of good themes there are only few of theme that are worth it

 

[kcnychief]

I agree with Daeron, Window Blinds 5.x is much improved over previous versions wrt to resource usage

 

[madmatt]

Then you use it and leave me alone!

*hugs* Windows Classic

O.K. The Lab Rat is chiming in.

Here it be Novum OS. Using the compact start menu with the windows button. No provision for one of the orb buttons with the compact menu. I luv the black skinning and how the top of the windows are a fade from black to dark blue then back to black. Very nice crystal effect. My one peeve, well, it's pretty damn annoying, is the font and the damn blue color of the fonts on a white background (oh my eyes!). If the font were to be black that would make this theme outstanding. But just from having to stare at the FRICKIN BLUE FONTS... sorry. :s on the white background is enough for me to go postal. And to add insult to injury, when an item is highlighted in windows explorer it turns a light blue. This makes the BLUE FRICKIN FONT, errrrrrr sorry, that much harder to see. Anyway, here it is.
