Anybody Would Like To Make Elegantxp Skin?

Anybody interested in doing this skin:

ElegantXP Visual Style based on the Silver Luna XP with some additions of AquaXP.

1. Change of Start Button

2. Some Minor changes in Start Drop down menu

3. Change in Title Bar of Explorer/Window

Aqua like

4. Scroll bar

5. Semaphore lights Min./Max./Close

6. Left side info bar for file/folder size & type

Most other items will be left untouched.

Picture: Drag & Drop the link to Address/Url bar to see

Drag me to Address bar to see ElegantXP concept skin

The idea is not an Aqua clone but to borrow some Aqua elements to enhance WindowsXP Silver theme. Anybody wants to take this challenge ?

Thanks

XPs Silver theme is really ugly. I cant stand the sight of it. The Aqua helps, but the Silver color is very dominant, you almost cant see the changes. I would take away some of the silver colors just to make it easier on the eyes.

Like I said, it's about preserving the Silver Luna look. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We already got a dozen attempts at the perfect Aqua. There are many people that look at the grey white lines of Aqua everywhere and they can't stand it. This is a theme to provide an alternative to true Aqua & that also like the standard Silver. If you begin to adopt more features of each you defeat the purpose of the theme.
