THX, great one.

Can we get a thicker taskbar?
Woah, nice. I like it alot, simple and use-able.

Id love a full start menu though (getting it as we speak, might already be there xD),
and maybe a recolor - some kind of weak Beige instead of gray.

anyhow, +fav.
Yes, very nice work, dobee, but I too, am in love with your MSN vs.

I use that with the Longhorn alternative mod YZtoolbar theme and ooohhhh baby . . . .

This is actually very nice as well. Very clean and professional.
Awesome take on classic style, reinventing it. Best style I've seen lately, I'm switching to this one from BlackMesa.

Some suggestions on how it would improve from viewpoint:

- A couple of pixels more height on the caption bar wouldnt hurt, it would make the text label and the close-min-max widgets look not so "squashed" in that tiny vertical space.
- The taskbar items hover state is so tiny that some icons overflow the rectangle, this doesnt look very good to me, maybe using a hover style similar to Black Mesa or Luna Element would look better with an ultra-thin taskbar (the whole taskbar height is changed on the hover state). Or maybe adding a few more pixels height to the taskbar as suggested here so the 16px icons fall inside the hover rectangle.
- The scrollbars look a bit of place with the rest of the window elements, I think they are a bit too beveled compared to the rest of the style's general flatness.
- I love the 1-pixel color border hover effect on drop-down boxes, what about using this same effect to highlight hover states on buttons and tabs too?
Looks a little too much like the HmmXP VS.
I like minimal VS's like this though.
I like it a lot, but I think more color schemes would be good. :)
