from WinCustomize Forums

Tired of the seemingly endless parade of "Glass" skins?  Looking for something with a bit more of a retro feel, but without looking like something out of the Windows 98 days?  Aero Metal may be just the skin you're looking for with it's clean brushed metal look.

Aero Metal is a free skin designed by Frogboy & vStyler.  It supports Windows XP and Windows Vista and is designed for use with WindowBlinds 6

Its a very nice skin that I may use from time to time but more comfortable at the moment with a darker skin but like to lighten things up at times. I actually am enjoying the "glass" type skins since I have a fairly new pc and my previous had trouble at times with them, or least I couldn't use them to their fullest extent.

Animated ObjectDock Plus backgrounds? To match ani WB start menus, windowframes... a'la Treetog's Antares WB?

Many thanks for this free theme. I've been wishing for a re-up of Universe Metal lately...
And the old Pixtudio site theme and matching DX and WB and tons of other apps

This is generally a pleasing skin, but as with so many others, little or no thought seems to have been given to the menu backgrounds. I find I don't wish to keep on my system any skin with boring menu backgrounds! Even simple enhancements, such as those in the Universe Metal skin, can make a real difference.

Lets see...

Grass.
Liquid.
Dirt.
Leafy.
Granite.
Marble.

If they were as good as Executive and this one you could make it a premium skin pack even and I'd pay for it.
