Words cannot express how simply awesome that is.  I love it.  Cannot wait until you release it.

Very "unique" and looks like a new step in structure and design of websites.
Reveals SMF possibilitys ;D

Very unique.  A few things:

404 http://fomcolians.com/demo/Themes/WindowsXP/images/Xperience/leftbox_bu.gif
Calendar is spelled wrong (Calender.)
Clicking the task bar should (ideally) collapse the start menu.
You should add a notice to the effect that the Windows XP graphical elements are the property of whoever, etc., etc.  You may need to ask for permission, I'm not sure.
The time action is very interesting, although the clock doesn't work for me.  The page also has no title.
I'm interested to see what you do with the stats page.
The red X needs to be aligned right?
Can't wait to see the profile done (unless it already is?)
For search, I'd suggest separating the board selection to the right, so it collapses down... then the left side can be much thinner.

if you think to release it as a theme, i would be a translator for turkish language if you like.
all of us are looking forward to it.

Looks very nice indeed! Great how you manage to make it so extended. ;)

Aaron.

bloc

Looks great already. :)

If you can, it would be awesome to have all pages similar in look, like the profile page for example. Very innovative use of the elements though. The "startmenu" is impressive. :)

PopLife

Fantastic job! You expect themes like this to come from Bloc or A.M.A, so it's really cool when someone new has a good crack at the theming system.

fixed

QuoteClicking the task bar should (ideally) collapse the start menu.
that will be a javascript modification and i am bad at these...all the drop downs i made are from collapse header script u provided with smf...so now if u can direct me how can i do that it will be gr8...i have seen this thing done with message icons here....might be even more cooler if clicking any where outside the menu collapse it.

i hav mailed them twice abt this but i think they are busy sorta persons fixing bugs all the times :P
i think i will remove the logo out and will add stuff into copyright...thats the max i can do.

i was stuck with ideas but will try to do some thing.

that looked okey in IE but yes it must work good in ff as well...will do it.

@ Tripp, tentronik, sloopz , Aäron, Bloc , giba_choo  thanks for gr8 comments

I like the Linux conversion theme.  Will you release it?  Good job on all of them.

I just imagine this concept could basicly used for any theme of any operating system it`s possible.

I really liek to see e.g. AMIGA or DOS any linux even bsd or unix could be done.
To have a command prompt you could use a small flash with prepared querys(cmd`s) for SMF.
e.g. DOS
c:\help (SMF help)
c:\dir (boardindex?)
c:\copy (quote?)

Cheers

Its a nice idea but I don't think it would be too user friendly.  Not everyone is a computer geek.  I think it would drive users away from the site.
