FCOAR was an idea born from the desire to pay homage to the legendary skins and themes that originated at customize.org, a desktop customization website rather popular in the early days of the internet.
Specifically, the major inspiration for this release was from GSM (GyspySpaceMuffin), a niche community of skin designers from customize.org. The name FCOAR actually came from the unrealized GSM 2.0 concept which was codenamed fomecore. The logo itself is an overhauled version of the second suite’s logo design made by Tab Turnmire.

Starting from scratch, basic concepts were made in Photoshop to better visualize how the environment would look. Like the GSM community back in the day, 2 versions were made to provide user deeper level of usability for various wallpapers and applications.
Below you can see first screenshots on Windows 7 using third party applications and few hacks. All applications are fully functional and work without errors of course.
And now some screenshots of the applications/themes from the release that I made. Included are Windows Classic themes, Colorpad skins (color picker application), Calculator hack for Windows 7 x64, and set of small glyph icons.
