Amazing job! But, I know the previous commenter already mentioned it, the Desktop Layout does not work for 1920x1080? Is there anything I cloud do about this?
The other Expose themes are correctly scaled, but this one is not. You can even tell that the buttons are slightly blurry because they're scaled slightly too large.
I thought I made this comment somewhere already, guess I made it on 'global theme' page. I just made a similar one on the page for the window decoration, so you can ignore that.
The problem shows up in your own screenshots, actually. Just look at the 'maximize' button; it's got a bit of blue bleeding into the white symbol on the button, due to the slight blurring.
'Pling' was acting up and this comment didn't even show up at first. Thought I had to retype it, and indeed for a bit only the rewritten post showed up. Weird.
I ended up adding to the post when resending it, and now I also can't seem to delete this post, so please ignore.

To clarify, this is only evident in the window decoration portion. Sorry for the lack of clarity relating to that before.
From the Aurorae page: "Just checked. This theme has the same dimensions as the other variants. I can't reproduce the problem here. Maybe a screenshot would help. Usually problems occur when text rendering is switched away from 96dpi as dpi seems to be considered when rendering vector bitmaps into images."
Global Themes in Plasma are Meta- or Super-Themes, capable of changing multiple aspects of the desktop environment at once, like Window Decoration, Plasma Theme, Color Scheme, Icon Theme etc. In addition, one can define the complete Layout, like what panel to use where, the menu type used and much more.

10 A good chunk of my childhood computing was with this GUI. Amazing clone you've created here. Thanks so much for all you do!
XP was the time I was transitioning to Linux. Childhood computing was (an Australian version of) ZX Spectrum and MS-DOS 3.3.
Very cool, I didn't have a chance to experience that. Was is mainly Red Hat around the XP time?
Yep. Free Red Hat CDs on the cover of PC Magazine. ;)

10 This captures the look of Windows XP almost perfectly, I loved this era of design so much!
Almost? ;) Thanks for the vote.

Can you post a screenshot? Looks OK here at 1440.

8 I think the better theme for windows xp is Luna - Silver. Very beatifull. If you created one it would be excellent.
Wasn't planning on it but if you want to throw some support my way... ;)
Need to update my old themes but if you want to support me then I'll work on it right away.
Ignore those other two posts. I'm on it, should be done in a few days.
