My 2 cents for "Aero"
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
I'm neither a hard core C++ programmer nor graghics guy. But here my 2 cents to kde community to start a new style called "Aero". Graphics tutorials can be found here: http://www.macthink.net/community/viewtopic.php?p=80053

let me add my 2 cents (of € =) too.
This is a nice idea. KDE has got good themes, but it's nothing in comparison to what is avalaible for win (msstyles) and MAC.
I'd like to do some porting for KDE as I love skinning, but ubfortunately this involves C++ :-( which is over my knowledge.
Anyway this is a nice idea, don't blame it. Skinning is also fun, and as already said this could easily evolve into something different and better looking ;-)
Will post some screenies later, now I need a bed...it's 2 am in italy
Greetings.

at the most, you'll have to design the button theme and use it in crystal!

Also, this bold new look could evolve into something completely different.
There are people who like fresh new looks. I't wrong to say that M$ can't possibly make anything good looking; that's immaturity. Of course M$ can have good looking stuff, they have the money to hire the graphic designers to make it look nice, but what we can be assured of is that more than likely, whatever they do will probably take up lots of RAM.

It looks cool. Longhorn has a fair different theme, but this is close to it.
And a making some animated buttons wouldn't hurt much...
And making a KDE theme could be nice too...
Great work.

This is copy of a M$ idea, therefore it's nothing new and besides it's waste of room.
I can't believe that there are people out there, that think what MS makes is useful and cool!?!
GPL stuff is all about usefullnes, security, quality and inovations and not copying allready made stuff.
No thanks, I'll rate for "no".

It'd look better with a straight-line boundary between the black menubar and the white body. Laying the white area on top with rounded corners makes it too obvious that you're just laying a rounded rect on top. Joining the two areas into a single rounded rect would be less busy and more unified.

this looks really nice. Especially because it looks so clean. There are not 100 icons, in 100 different colors, not 100 menu items and so on. I hope, that the kde developers will clean up the desktop environment, so that it looks more clean and easier to use.

I must say, I haven't tried the Crystal windeco, so forgive me if Crystal basically has all this. Based on the pictures I've seen though, it has hard edges and is always one size.

Which was created by me. X) ROFL, sorry.
But maybe I can add an extra button-theme that it lookes more like Aero?

I don't think that it would be a problem, but anyway ask the author for authorization.
