Artist's Comments

This is my first Visual Style, it is based on and inspired by XPHunt3r's "Longhorn", Windows Vista, Photoshop CS3 and Apple, thus calling it "Hybrid" mixing it all together.

I like subtle styles, minimalistic, so tried make this as slick as possible, I hope you like it.

There are 8 different styles, both with black and silver statusbar and windows.

Very very good style. I always wondered why no one was making a WHITE visual style (made for XP). Everyone was alllways making BLACK BLACK BLACK. Black has already been done a million times. It is good to have a good color variation to this. Good job Karmacom. --> If you are interested in some input on enhancing this style, it would be nice to have the start MENU (not the button) in a white background. Right now, it is black. Also, maybe make the taskbar, when scrolling-over the tabs, tohave a better shade of blue... Anyways, all in all, this VS is a keeper. Thnaks.

Thank you Fiz for those comments. I made the start-meny black while leaving the taskbar white to get some contrast.

I will make a V2 of this style soon, and I am sure to take you up on your advice, making:

A: With a white background on the start-meny aswell
B: More color-templates, e.g gray, lightblue etc, not just black / white.
C: Refine the shade of blue on the tabs (the one where it shows the program you're running etc?)

Your critique and comments are worth it's weight in GOLD to me and it gives me alot of new ideas now for V2,thanks again fiz - you will be the first to know when I refine this visual style.
