If they have to steal a look for a theme i wished they would steal something tasteful, not the Vista look. I'm off to go wash my eyes out with acetone and pray that this won't be the default theme.

You must be blind sir, or never used vista before. That looks *nothing* like it.

Really.

Black is beautiful, OS X has it aswell in iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom for instance. Inquisitor aswell.

I agree with you, black is beautiful compared to white.

People that says "black is like vista" are probably Windows haters, then if we choose white they will complain that it looks like Mac OS, people always complains.

I hope Oxygen will stay with Black and wont go with something else because the haters of Vista says "black is like vista".

Yeah, Apple has started using black in most of their apps, especially when they have to do things like transparent windows. Logic for example uses black transparent windows to showcase their plethora of plugins and third part AUs. It works rather well, it frames the necessary window and the black keeps everything readable and coherent. White is not a good color for transparent windows, imo. I have to admit that when I first used Vista I was suckered in by the pretty GUI. It sure is pretty on first glance, not so much when you use it everyday and see the glitches that should have been addressed before it was released, but its still nice nonetheless.
