very smooth and a nice crossbreed between explorer and litestep. nice to see Swis721 getting used in more themes. i think we can all agree that it is the best font that man has ever been graced with.

I gotta agree with 1beb. Sweet and smooth. Damn surazal, you are on a roll with these great themes! I only have one suggestion - when in top bar mode, the auto hiding bar will show up as you go for the min, max, and close buttons of a maximized window. I would try changing the hotspot space to exclude about 50 - 60 pixels from the right side of the screen. I don't know if that is possible as I have never used that module, but it would be nice.

I really like it. The task bar and sysray look awesome. I think only similiar to international because of the grey and the curves. But not every popup on LS that has curves has to be international, these corners are even more round. The gradient rocks and the small vwm looks awesome. Very nice theme.

well, it also has the same font. it's not just the curves. the color scheme is similar, too. but i kind of like the look of this one better, and it looks more functional. i like taskbars.

reminds me a lot of aero's theme. a few of the newer LS themes that have been uploaded here remind me of aero's theme. I guess he started a new trend...

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Although at first glance this may appear to look like International, I assure you that was not my intenion. I designed this long before I saw International. In fact, the green color was the one I originally made. I only made the gray color yesterday when I was about to release it.

Yes, I did use the same font, so that's another reason it looks similar. But, that's like saying that every thing that uses silkscreen or another font looks the same. It's just a great font that I like.

I don't mind this being compared to an Aero theme. He's a great themer and I've always liked his style. A lot of my earlier themes were inspired by his work. But I feel that comparing this theme to International is hard to do. His theme was a completely different concept. He used minimal graphics and a lot of text for the interface, where Monster uses quite a few more graphics.

Anyways, thanks again for the comments everyone.

i like it. the similarities to international cant be denied, but its a less super-minimal setup than aero's and i think that its different enough to be it's own theme. i'd have used a different font personally, because at that size swis is kind of awkward looking, but thats my only real complaint. love the tan version, btw. and it looks nice with that pretty wall ;)
