I keep looking for new themes every now & then and have liked a few very much in the past. But I never, ever wished to review any of them.

I specially registered this time to rate this awesome theme. I recently discovered (coz of another theme) how much screen space gets cleared with thin toolbar, menu bar, and tabbar (after Chrome cleared the title bar, one really needs FF to give more space), and set about looking for such a theme to match my XP look.

This is the sexiest, the slickest, and the smoothest! The developer has given such attention to small details, and yet nothing is excessive or fancy or too colourful. You won't even realize it's so soothing and nice on your eyes!

A few things it does wonderfully: nice fonts, scrollbar, favicons & buttons, smooth options & add-ons windows, sleek spaced-out text for 'find' bar & 'bookmarks' & 'history' sidebars (these have horizontal shading too), pretty & slim outlines around tabs and the L-bar, and No gradient, except a general soft-button feel! {Can't run out of superlatives for this one ;) }

Lovely.
