^^ I don't know the original creator. I have mentioned in the theme description, if anyone knows the creator, please do let me know and I'll provide him credits.

Thank you for this one. I always liked the theme, but wanted a thinner taskbar. Using it now
Myron
I was wondering if you can show us how to change the color of the flashing button on the taskbar in your theme...I'm not a fan of green =/ Other than that, I love your theme very much

I like this one but I HATE the big Segoe fonts. I have changed them everywhere except in the taskbar.
Is it impossible to change the taskbar font???
Brendan
My god thanks! I've been craving a sleek black 7 theme for a while, and the regular size of the taskbar just makes it a million times better. Quick question, you make the black themes, and the blue ones too, but what about red? I've been craving a nice deep red one (to go with my deep red god of war psp, and all the deep red themes for my instant messengers, etc.) It would make me happy, but I'm just wonderin is all =P
VG
^^ Sorry but I have no plans for creating a red theme for XP but may be in future I change my mind? who knows?
John
Can you please, please, please do a Gold theme?
Andre
Great work....really impressive. Just a stupid wuestion. After I installed the theme, my language on the start menu has changed from ENGLISH to I think Portaguese? How do I change it back to English? Regards. A
VG
^^ Thats weird. The theme has nothing to do with the language. Try to reapply the theme.
