The Steel Toolsprites themselves work on RISC OS 6 - they're just sprites after all (although, yes they are quite nice). It must be the program which runs for the steel theme (probably making assumptions) that causes the crash.
No offense, but the textures look like they're from 1990's... which they are. It's not cluttered, but it doesn't look modern at all.
And, there are decent home-made skins... (I do like the Steel one) that only work with the old WIMP as used in RISC OS 4 and 5. The RISC OS 6 WIMP crashes and burns if you try to use them.
Seriously? The textures look fantastic! (Though admittedly they're not so easy to make out in this vid... Besides there are a few decent 'home-made' skins knocking around on the internet, or you could make your own, maybe using ArtWorks and/or Paint. And of course you can always apply a different background...) There haven't been many graphical updates because RO4 already looked pretty slick. Stability, efficiency and intuitiveness more than make up for any gripes you may have with the GUI.
I think RISC OS Six is really ugly and has no appealling look. The background is nice though and there has been little graphical changes since ROS 4 except panel at the bottom is a little bit lighter and the icons for app are very appealing with the new shining look.
@RISCOS6 Yeah, the Steel theme requires ROOL's Themeable WIMP, which is incompatible with RISC OS 6.
