Description
CO is designed as an ergonomic replacement for the default Windows Classic theme. It was designed with long-term use and compatibility in mind.Features
- 5 colours: Alpha, Blue, DeviantART, Green and Dusk
- Normal & Compact start panel versions
- Classic and Coloured taskbar versions
- Matching wallpapers and shellstyles
- Yz Dock by Manyk (no Dusk)
- new font choices:
Normal: Tahoma 8
Large: Arial 8
XLarge: Frutiger Linotype 8
The icons in the screenshot are Marvilla's Pastel set ([link] ).
The GANT set goes very well with the new Dusk version!
Please refer to the readme (included in zip) for full theme information (and update history).
Hope you enjoy the theme, comments would be appreciated :¬)

This style is simply perfect! Sometimes I get tired of it, switch to something else, and a few weeks later I'm back to Codename Opus!
I just have problems with some Java apps. Combo boxes are shown with no border and the "down arrow" is completely foobar'ed, with an ugly pink background. Here's a screenshot showing this problem: [link]

Great work b0se, especially for long term use.
Yet there are two things that might be improved.
You can see them in this picture:

The theme is really great, especially for long term use.
Yet I found one bug and one thing that might be improved in the theme.
You can see this in this picture.

It would be great if the bug could be fixed and the font color could be darkened a little bit

I LOVE this style! Seriously, I never use third-party styles/themes on XP because none of them appeal for more than a few minutes at best. But Opus 3 is perfect. My only request would be matching themes for Firefox and Thunderbird. Any chance of that? I use Noia 2 for both, but it clashes terribly with Opus...please help!

I love this style it is clean, crisp, functional, windows is a lot more responsive than a previous one I had and I've not found any bugs unlike other styles. All in all, perfect. Thanks man.
Anyone know any good skins for trillian, winamp, firefox or thunderbird? I've looked around but can't find one that really complements this vs.
Cheers,
D0bby

Any chance you could port it to any of the *nix themes?

the background color is such a turnoff other wise I would use it ..

Your Opus VS's have to be the best looking and most well put together I've seen.
If I had a complaint it would be that the taskbar icons don't flash "brightly" enough when there is activity in a program in the background. Not as attention grabbing as I would like but other than that it's great.

YES. Upon installing I just took a breath of air and said to myself, "Now that's how Windows should look." The chumps at Microsoft have no design sense. Thank you.
