Suggestions for a dark/glass skin (not too dark)

from WinCustomize Forums

Every once in a while I'll do a search to see if I see any skins I like better than the custom one I use.  I realize and respect that everyone's taste can be completely different; so, I know that there isn't such a thing as a "best" skin since my idea of best skin might be different than someone else's.  However, I'm hoping someone might have seen a skin or two that may fit into the description below:

I'm looking for a dark/glassy skin (using transparency effectively).  Im not really into old-school non-transparent themes like Win8.  Im also not into themes on the extreme side that are more appropriate for gamers or teenagers.  I've seen a couple sleek classy-looking dark themes; however, they are just a tad bit too dark for me taste.

Below is a screenshot of my desktop using a custom-modified version of the "INVI 4Vs" theme:

This is my favorite one out of the the list I've seen so far.  The tinted one was my second favorite.  I will check Vienna 30Rapture for sure.

Thanks everyone for posting.  If there are any other ones similar to this, please post here.

Another good one (premium skin): Sirus

After so many years it still one of my most favourites. It even got updates for Vista and 7 \m/

 

It's a shame that this skin never recieved an update for Vista nor 7; https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/6119/

Still my most favourite of all... But it is somewhat usable on 7.

 

Edit: Those three (free) skins may be interesting too:

I think this looks pretty cool; but, just a little too extreme for me taste; especially the fonts.
