Elegance is here
About a year ago, Stardock formed a new skinning team called Stardock Design. It brought in many of the top skin authors from around the world into a single place as full time skinners. It also provided a budget to be able to contract some of the part-time skinners as well.
The work is starting to pay off. And this year you will begin seeing a significant increase in free skins coming from Stardock Design. The idea is to help provide examples and help to other skinners as well as ensure that users have a steady supply of very high quality skins.
The first skin release of the year is Elegance. Designed by Alexandrie, the co-founder of Pixtudio who now works full-time at Stardock in Plymouth Michigan, Elegance is an attempt to provide an alternative to all the glass-style skins you've seen in recent months but one that is clean and...well elegant. Having used it for awhile, I believe this is one of the best skins of all time. It combines high polish with high usability.
Subtlety is the rule

Tabs in Visual Studio:
Could you show me screenshots or be more specific? If there's an error or a buglet in a skin, we definitely want to improve it.

I sometimes can sound more harsh than what I mean too. I apologize for that. It seems that I may have been wrong about the selections. I usually keep mine in list view and the color of the boarder was light for that view. There really isn't anything wrong with it though.
As for Visual Studio, notice the text on the very left shrunk tabs. Look at this before and after:

Really, now that I look at it, the issue is not that bad. But I do wonder what causes it.
I like this skins and hope for more like it from the team.
Thanks.

Evernote? Where can I get that?
As for the Visual Studio glitch, that looks lamost like a WB bug. Will have to check it out.
