Hmm looks like MS is trying to take away some of the Ipod market.

I've always liked the Creative players that take a AAA battery, then you buy a recharger and do you own thing, rather then worry about a dead ipod battery, and shipping them back.

ALOHA

Hmmm, I like it, except for that background, but it goes nicely with my Gears of War BG.

 

[sdy284]

yea the bg sucks...but the rest of it is alright

While its better than than fugly POS Luna, I still have way cooler themes than that installed already.

Still, if you don't want to hack the uxtheme, then its the best your gonna get.

LMAO, I think it's because I've watched one to many X-Files.

Hey was there a HIDDEN AGENDA with this background image too?

Someone mind posting some screenshots of this theme?

I really don't want to have to install it & then revert to my current one, since i have a ton of things customized.

 

[Ayah]

I just got it. Looks interesting.

 

[xcript]

Here's the link to one from TweakGuides:
Zune Theme

It's pretty snappy except for the Start button... Orange..?

I wonder if they noticed that it matches really well with Firefox..? Or are they not allowed to run that in the office?

 

[n7]

Thanx for the screenies guys

It appears to be XP standard but in black, so i'm gonna stick to my black Vista theme.

I'm having trouble adjusting to the new start button. too bright orange for me. keeps distracting my eyes, but im trying to get used to it..

Heres how it looks on my system (NSFW).

Orange/brown like Ubuntu

as for Firefox, any color theme matches with it because Firefox changes its color to match desktop theme.

BUMP. I just want to be smart ass and claim that this theme is same as* media center theme, with only difference that dark blue is replaced with brown. it is evident on taskbar, exact same style.
