The main focus of this Vista Theme is the “eye” of HAL 9000 looking back at the computer operator. As far as we know, it doesn’t talk or dulcet tones or make your Windows Vista PC go crazy.

In terms of design, this is one of the darker Vista themes to be released recently, and dark color palettes are often the hardest to co-ordinate and pull off with style, the Smooth Hal 9000 theme manages just that, so full credit to the theme creator for that work.

Apparently the 80s are back in fashion, with a twist, and maybe this particular style will be an indication of Vista themes to come in the future. But maybe not, just thinking out loud here.

We do think this Vista style has something going for it, the style us fairly unique, large icons and crisp, generally dark and high contrast color scheme work well and provide clarity. It’s a bit of a rough diamond maybe, but Torched7 could be one to watch out for for future Vista Themes.
