Neowin - it's called Luna VX (I think).

 

[mwtgg]

You mean this, right?

It looks very nice, I think I might have to use it.

Edit: Apparently, the download link doesn't work, so get it here.

Actually...no, it's this theme - Luna VX Enhanced.

Ahh a new version, thanks

Nice, but, it needs velociraptor trails in it... subtle ones, and then everyonce in a while a big scary open mouthed raptor face should pop out to ward off people spying over your shoulder.

That'd be cool.

 

[mwtgg]

Oohh, I like it very much.

Thanks jumpr!

 

[iamme]

very nice.

 

[GoingUp]

Im quite partial to DAB, a Mac theme.

 

[LiQiCE]

Not too bad, its pretty professional looking which is nice ... I've been using the ThemeXP theme for a long time. Its very usable and looks pretty nice to boot ... You can check it out from ThemeXP.org ...

Here's a picture of what my desktop looks like with the theme: Link to Pic

yeah I used to use LunaVX for a really long time, but when I switched to an all grey/black computer it looked a little weird. Yours looks very nice though.

How does one install a theme?

Search for Uxtheme.dll. The easiest way is to find the Neowin Multi uxtheme patcher. Then download theme, extract to c:\windows\resources\themes, double click the appropriate theme, and there u go

hmm, not a fan of dark themes but yours looks very nice and usable. Links to skins/themes? Is that using Ashton shell?

 

[Supermercado]

It's not bad, but I've always been partial to mine. I found it a couple years ago and it's been one of the first things I install on a new Windows install. I can't live without it now

Edit: I guess I should say that I don't really like dark themes all that much.

Yeah it's aston, you can get them all off astonshell.com. I think the dark one is the #1 ranked one right now... just go to themes and sort by rank.

 

[Megatomic]

I'm trying this theme jumpr, the only thing I don't like is the font. Maybe I'll get used to it?

I extracted the theme to the folder you mentioned, double-clicked the file and nothing happened.
