Vitaly Cashev and I made a Halloween theme. Vitaly did the desktop and I did start  menu and panels. Great help was  using icons made by Pien Duijverman for Smashing Magazine . Below you can watch the video and see the theme in full screen.

Get theme here and Astonshell 2 here
Happy Halloween

Being big coffee drinker myself I must admit making this Astonshell2 theme was really pleasant experience. Windows 7 style taskbar again since I think it it is GUI improvement of the decade
Wallpaper is just awesome and all the credits for it  go to http://wallpaperstock.net. I usually don’t like wooden patterns and style but in moderation it can give stunning results. No kidding I think this is my best desktop theme ever. Below is the 1440×900 screenshot and the actual theme can be obtained here.

In past two weeks I have worked on updating my Red Alert and finishing Playboy theme. In theme creation I have used some third party materials and that is Wallpaper for RedAlert theme, it is from redalert web site, and pinup girl in Playboy menu skin is made by fantastic artist  Gillian Riley Lepisto from phrizbie-design.com.
You  can get the Playboy skin for Aston2 here and below is the full screen shot, also for visitors of planetaston.com a special treat, 3 extra playboy wallpapers that did not make in to the theme you can get them here.
