A screenshot of the Watercolor theme from Windows Whistler. It is two tone blue, tastefully separated by a nice series of pixel cubes in variying hues. The buttons look clean and professional instead of childish, and it looks like the natural evolution of windows 2000.

   @ryanc Prior to XP and Luna, the late Whistler betas had a theme called Watercolor that was honestly just gorgeous. It's disappearance is the most egregious thing.

   This is what they took from us. I mean look at it. It's so clean and tasteful, with just the right amount of playful and whimsy. An ideal evolution from Windows 2000. Also came in green IIRC, but I may be conflating with the fan remake that came out years later.
