To make basic lite look better needs to substitute its fonts with some we already have.

It is also possible to have an option in 2nd stage to select if we want 3rd stage to have themes enabled. Do you think this should be enabled by default or not? All ideas are welcome. My intention is to complete it ASAP so that it can make in the release.

They look great (especially the Basic Lite one :)) I'm guessing a smaller start icon would reduce the taskbar size?

An option to select a theme in second stage gets my vote.
Perhaps allow 4 default choices (3 and classic). The 2nd stage dialog could then be divided into 4 equal parts and each part contains a selectable image of the theme.

It would be nice to enable it by default,
But give 2nd stage and unattended an option to disable it
