New visual theme from Microsoft

Published on June 29, 2004 By PixelPirate In 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.

I just installed it yesterday, I just laughed

It is actaully quite sad really. All that Microsoft money and they put out something like that. Maybe they're actually promoting WB and planning to buy the company. Wanna work for Microsoft, Brad?

Wonder if they put any thought to plastering a Frog over the shot and is that grin for some reason connected to that suspicious looking green splatter on the desktop?

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?

(just asking out of curiosity more than anything else)
