    Thanks. No windows blinds.
    Icon tweaker, cursorXP and Yahoo widgets. Moreover I collect wallpapers, cursors and icons from internet.
    I have RK launcher as well but not using it as RKlauncher( and infact any Docks I used) uses a bit of CPU on my system( very small spikes of 1-4 % but I don,t like this thing at all-- I gave those spikes to SSM as needed).

    Here is another one I like.

    I prefer the RoyaleNoir as the start-button is black until the mouse-pointer is waved over it, and turning green then. I don't get the purplish-black color either. I checked out the zune but noticed no difference, except the orange start-button stays orange....

    The orange start button ruins it all :mad: It should've been like the one on Royale Noir (but I won't use that either because the black isn't really black)

    Guess I`m lucky. My start button shows as more of a bronze color. Sort of like it and it beats the heck out of the Win. default green. Also used ResHack to tweak explorer.exe to change the bmp image, the word "start" and the pop-up wording when you mouse over it. :D

    I agree it is more of bronzee than orange as BigC posted( because English in not my first language, so the first thing that came in my mind was Orange). Anyway orange or Bronze, to me this color looks a bit odd.

    Perhaps the Author meant for it to stand out......in which case he achieved his goal. Although, as stated before, a shade of blue blue blue blue may have been more visually appealing to some.

    Blue? I think it may have to be watercolour blue? If the start button is blue, then it needs another colour for the menu.

    Blues, blues and more blues. The original blue in Luna was too childish.

    Actually I for one am a bit tired of blue. MS`s main color as well as FF to mention just a couple. Really happy with the theme change = lack of blue. only speaking for myself of course

    That,s OK. My point is that this bronze color just is just not so sober at least to me. The black task bar is nice of course. Anyway it,s a matter of personal liking that veries a lot. MS should give many theming options just like FF and Opera.
