you mean something that can skin the explorer/file manager windows to look like simplicity?

There used to be one but it was a rip without permission. Don't think a new one was created after that.

@deuce: Yes, thats it!
@ilmcuts: Sure? Where to get the old one? I dont understand what you mean.

what he means is that whoever created the windows skin didn't ask omar (the guy who wrote simplicity) for permission to use his idea (the simplicity look). so, the skin was deleted. and no one (possibly) has asked omar's permission and tried it again.

Hmmm, thats mad. My windows look so bad with the normal theme.

geforce - ShellWM, WindowBlinds, Chroma, and StyleXP are all applications to skin application borders and other GUI elements. ShellWM's free, but you'll probably have to shell out $$$ to get any of the others.

Correct me if wrong fellas, but doesn't ShellWM come with a Simplicity theme by default?

it does... or at least it used to? i think allelimo made that one with minimal assistance from me.

Yes the current ShellWM release does come with a simplicity skin
