What do you think about this? It's been an ongoing project, I've been redesigning a couple times, and I decided to make it look like Royale now, so give it a look. It works just like Google, it just looks differently. I mainly did this for myself, because Google is simple as it is meant to be, but I think too plain. So I have been "dressing" it up a bit. Tell me what you think!
Oh, and "About GFXEnhanced Google" doesn't work, I haven't got that page up yet.

looks gr8 man, I have a little bug here :S, the text field is to long, so the skin is like, um ****ed up.. u c?
looks nice 
I liked the previous one better, though...
Make sure, Google sees it, who knows, they might want to hire you! 
Lol good , i like your old version too , maybe a mix .... i like the google text effect
And this is the better 404 page i ever seen.
A web server life is facinating
That is the best 404 message yet! Sounds a little like marvin the paranoid android. Also, how do you make the glossiness in the titlebar like that? If you could share or point in the direction of some resources I'd be grateful.
@Dream_Team, Ludge:
See www.louiemantia.com, the theme I used, as you mentioned glossiness, is called Royale by Microsoft. I explained what happened on my site. And about the 404, I remembered I found that somewhere but I really don't remember where. I liked it too. 
Hope the guy don't mind, I don't remember whose it was. 
@magbi9, Seph:
Yeah, I miss the colored balls at the bottom of the screen. I might put them, a smaller version, beneath the search, maybe right before the copyright Google stuff. And yea, Google hiring me would be awesome!

Lou, for someone who stresses about artists rights, what would make you think it is alright to steal that 404 page?
Nice job by-the-way.
Ok ok ok! You're right. I wasnt tryin to be the usual meany i am, I'm just unbiased when it comes to holding people to their words.
Thats pretty cool Lou, you should make it open source so everyone can make something like it. (I am assuming there is more to it then just the source of that page)
