(Note that I am using the Sombras theme, but much of what I said can also apply to Snow)
Absolutely stunning. I have been looking for a new theme for a while, after regretfully shelling out $20-$30 for Windowblinds, and this theme is one of the most simplistic, beautiful, and all-around wellmade Windows themes I have ever encountered. The installation was much easier than I first feared, and did not involve any major changes in my computer architecture. My computer feels sleeker, cleaner, and better. At times I spend whole minutes just staring at my desktop or idly playing with the Windows orb. It makes browsing seem like a peaceful meditation in how graceful the windows look. I know I will be keeping this theme around.
However, I do have some qualms with the theme, namely the exclusion of the icon set that you have shown in the preview. I realize that you most likely could not include it due to copyright concerns, but it would have been nice to at least point us to what set you are using, and how to change it. The three-dimensional, colorful default Windows icons clash horribly with the two-dimensional, minimalistic, grey style of the Kombo theme. It is nearly cringe-inducing to go to the explorer page and see the beauty of the frames and explorer itself forced to host the near-technicolor abomination of the default icons. Then again, this is not a reflection of the skin itself, but how compatible it is with other assets.
Another critique I have is that of the Sombras orb. I can see what you were going for, but it feels much too sharp, appears overly precise in its geometry and color when compared to the rest of the theme and, frankly, it looks boring. The Snow orb works fine in both themes, and I recommend using it over the Sombras orb. If you made it look more interesting and a tad more complex that a grey square, I will consider switching. Even just taking one of the four squares of the Snow orb could work.
Despite my disagreement in some design choices, do not let that give the impression that I have any ill feelings towards this theme. These two complaints are not necessarily nitpicks, but when compared to the near-flawlessness of the overall theme, in how well it was made and how graceful it appears, it's hard to see them as anything else. You owe it to yourself to at least give this theme a try.
Beautiful when paired with Rainmeter.

I really love this skin. Been using it for quite a while now especially the white ones, snow. it gives you a nice clean relaxing sleek theme, (with a combine of a white bg and nice sets of icons, and rainmeter skins which i have). Love the concept and design no other colors except for only white (that's what I'm looking for a theme snow). and the black ones too. But it would have been better if you kept the window buttons in sombras theme same as in the snow. but all in all it's a beautiful theme for w7. I recommend this skin to y'all. easy to install.

I need help. When I drag the files and folder into themes (I patched my system also) it doesn't quite work. When I open my personalize option, it shows up but it is blank and when I select it, it looks nothing like how it is supposed to. It looks like the theme Windows 95 used back in the day.Can someone please help me?

I think that a lot of people have done the same thing you did with only different colors.

Question: What icons are you using, and can I use them without buying / torrenting Photoshop?

Use Iconpackager [link] to change the default icons. I edited them in Photoshop by changing the color to a grayish(#4e4e4e)

Could you perhaps upload your Iconpackage file? I did one myself but yours looks more interesting.
