This is a great windowblind. It can be easy to go overboard with neat effects and colors, but you have managed to tame them into a usable, elegant skin that doesn't tire out the user (well not me anyway).
I would have preferred some differentiated toolbar icons. But this blind is so neat otherwise I was willing to turn on the text for toolbar icons as long as I am using it.
Great work, and thank you!

"Terrestrial" ?? ...the first thing that came to my mind was "Bitter Lemon", but I guess that name is either taken or too darn uninteresting... oh, well, doesn't matter really, for this refreshing excellent skin!

lol yeah i'm not big on the "fruit" names
terrestrial means this:
1. Of or relating to the earth or its inhabitants.
2. Having a worldly, mundane character or quality.
3. Of, relating to, or composed of land.
4. Biology. Living or growing on land; not aquatic: a terrestrial plant or animal.

Whatever the name may translate to, the skin translates to one word. That word would be FANTASTIC.

i'm stoked to see that everyone is enjoying the theme!! this was a lot of fun to create and was hoping that energy would transfer over to the skin during development...i think it came together pretty well.
as for a top docking taskbar...maybe at some point...creating a top dock taskbar would literally require rebuilding the taskbar from scratch (sadly it's not as easy as just flipping the image). the time it would require to create the substyles i simply don't have at the moment (found a girl that for some reason insists on spending time with me...eh...humans).
props to aimzzz for finding a bug in the start panel (text turns white on mouseover) that has caused me great pain. kidding...just kidding...but you can all thank aimzzz for the maintenance update i'll be releasing tomorrow night to correct that...as well as a few various other tweaks.
again...i'm thrilled that everyone is enjoying the theme...lets keep it rolling

Before anything else, I have to say it's really great to see a skin that actually uses color. Most skins are effectively monochromatic, or at best use only a few colors. This skin actually uses color very well. I use a top bar, too, so it doesn't actually work for me very well. A simple fix would be to round over the bottom corners. The top of the start button would still be up above the window edge, but the bottom of the bar would still look right. I auto-hide the bar anyway, so the start button wouldn't be a distraction.

Great, great skin. Love it and using it.
One more vote for a top dock.
Keep up the great work!

This is really an achievement. This is a polished, masterfully designed, beautifully hinted, intuitive, nonintrusive/-exclusive, coordinated, flexible, and damned fun WB.
Thanks so much for providing it and I truly hope there's more in store, maybe some OD docks, an Opera skin...
Great stuff.

I love it, especially the frame borders ans the start menu.
2 bugs ??
1/ the Windows Desktop search taskbar extension is bigger than the taskbar itself.
2/ In Back/Forward Explorer Drop down Menus, only the first two items are skinned.

Excellent skin, pretty much flawless, but...since I'm a member of the minority that prefers their taksbar on top rather than bottom of the screen, I can't give it full 5 stars. Nevertheless, save for that one issue, it's an excellent skin in its own right. Very refreshing, quite colourful and breathes new life into what has recently become a stale category. I'm particularly impressed with the excellent implementation of WB5 features. If you ever have the time to revisit this skin and add a taksbar on top conforming sub-style, I'll definitely re-rate it and give it the 5 stars it would otherwise, in my mind, deserve. Well done and I'm looking forward to your further projects. Congrats.
