Simple and Touch Optimized WIndows 7 theme for X11 (works on most tablets as well)

Many of our customers like our simple yet effective theme for X11.  They especially like the enlarged scroll bar, fonts and menu.  Some decided to modify it further and then have problem returning to how it looks originally.  This theme is very lightweight at only 100KB and will work on any Windows 7 device.  So even if you don’t have a X11, or if even a tablet but wants a larger scroll bar and other easier to click updates, you can use this them pack.

Kupa X11 – PC Magazine Review

Kupa X11 earned 4 out of 5 start from leading authority on Personal Computing, the PC Magazine.

PCMag.com:

“The Kupa X11 Pro is a strong entry into the Windows tablet space, with a long-lasting battery, a healthy selection of ports, vigorous performance, and an interface that makes your fingers feel right at home.”

PC Magazine X11 Review

We especially want to dedicate this part of review to our engineers who worked tirelessly to optimize X11’s performance.  This one is for you and for our loyal customers:

” But even though the hardware inside is the same, the performance is not. In the processor test CineBench, the Kupa X11 Pro scored 0.26 point, leaving the Q550 and the CL900 (both scored 0.19) in the dust.”
