Editor's review of Microsoft Zune Theme

5.0 stars

Microsoft's takes a decidedly dark turn in this black-tinted theme for Windows XP. A bright orange Start box, sharp gradients, and effective gray-on-gray accents make the theme--based on the company's Zune media player--a welcome change from the default blues and greens. We're not especially enamored of the default desktop wallpaper, which lunges away from the cool factor generated by the rest of the theme in favor of cheesiness, but that's an easy enough user customization. The theme looks especially good when coupled with the Firefox Zune theme created by an independent developer.

"Sweet"

by megabob6666 on March 10, 2008

Pros: Finally, someone at Microsoft is earning their keep and making cool stuff rather than churning out the same old junk. This theme is so much nicer than the standard Windows themes that came with XP. Installed without a hitch. Matches my Aquatint Firefox theme perfectly

Cons: Wish Microsoft would offer us more of these; given the amount of money we had to shell out for Windows to begin with, it's the least they could do. One of the reasons I use Firefox instead of IE is because I don't have to look at the same sloppy old interface all the time without the ability to change it to something I like better. Maybe the geniuses at Microsoft are finally starting to "get it."
