I don't like it....
No, serisouly, I don't.
That is: That one screenshot with that orange bar on the contactlist reminded me why I don't like the whole look of Office 2007...
The one with the blue bar looks better, although a bit too plain-ish.
It is like with everything, subtle things make stuff much nicer than right-in-your-face-stuff... (hence why I don't like Ev0 at all, sorry) I can't help keep staring at that orange bar (instead of looking at my contactlist), it is too distracting
Instead of making an option to get a blue or orange bar, maybe you can make an option (in a custom panel) where the user can actually choose their color with a real color picker panel, which includes the 'default Office 2007 orange' as a radio button. And make the very same color-picker panel for the toasts too, and also one for the chat window.
In that way, people can choose if they like the (orange or whatever) color bar in the contactlist, and/or a full (orange or whatever) colored toast or only the title of the toast. etc. Heck they could even go for pink bar at the contactlist, full purple toast and green bar in the chatwindow
Anyways, despite I don't like that orange bar, I do like the look of the rest. Nice and subtle. This might become a skin I'm looking for
