This is your best port yet. While it is not identical. There are many differences, it is very close. Thank you. Could you also do a version with a think taskbar and thin start menu? Thank you. Great Job.

Superb! Would like a winflag though, since [unfortunately] I'm running Windows not the GNOME. :D

Excellent, excellent, nice theme, an excellent cross between Windows Classic and a nicer theme, VERY nice. Congratulations!

excellent
the VS is perfect, but i use a double line taskbar (linux style), and the task buttons are way too fat for that.
Could you release a thin taskbar variant ? Would be great.
Anyway thumbs up. Best Clearlooks so far. :D

Looks wonderful!

I'd just square those round corners but that's a personal opinion.
Nice and neat job!

Keep it up pal! ;)

This is nice work. There was another Clearlooks that came out that had a thinner taskbar and the option for a window's flag. (Which was nice for the non-Penguinistas ;) )

I guess my one request/comment, and I don't know if it is possible given that I have never done a skin, but it would be nice (IMHO) if the right side of the start menu was the same color as the left. Or, make the different color of grey have rounded corners vs. edgy ones, but I think matching the colors would be the better look.

Any plans for compact start menu, color schemes, or personal icon implementation?

Again, VERY nice work.
