I'm in the process of making a new visual style for Windows 7 (Windows 8 turned out to be too buggy at the moment for my hardware). I was thinking of making a dark, minimal visual style. What color scheme would you guys like to see in this?

Many who use them would agree that a lot of time and effort goes into building a visual style, regardless of the operating system. A visual style is something that the author pours his or her thoughts and feelings into in order to create a graphical layout that reflects his or herself. More often than not, the author will upload the visual style to a site such as DeviantART so that others can enjoy the author's artistic expression. My rewards for completing something I'm proud of are the thoughts and critiques of my peers here at DeviantART. I don't make visual styles with an expectation of monetary compensation in mind, I make visual styles because I truly enjoy the process. What's the point of sharing hours of hard work if you're going to restrict it to those who can cop a dime your way? It's clear that others have different views on this topic, and I'm genuinely curious as to what their motives are. If anyone could enlighten me on the subject, I would appreciate it.

As of right now, support for my Windows 7 and earlier themes has been discontinued. Windows 8 development will begin when tools become available.

Metro UI

1 min read
As much as I want to like how Microsoft has altered the aero ui in Windows 8, I just can't. From my perspective, aero (glossy) and metro (flat) just don't mix. If they're going to go simple, why not keep it simple? A glossy/flat crossover doesn't work as well as one or the other. W7 aero works because they went glossy the whole way. W8 metro could work if they went flat the whole way with transparency. From what I've seen so far, they've tried to make transparency = gloss, and it simply doesn't work.

Long story short, you can expect a metro ui theme with transparency from me soon.

As of today, I have been accepted into the computer science and innovation division at Champlain college. I'm having trouble expressing exactly how relieved and ecstatic I am.
