you can use them with Vista Sidebar Styler.

Hope you like it!
And remember to post a comment!

All the styles have different 'Hover Images'

ya these do look nice and I to want to know if they overwrite or what
Steel89
Hi all and thx!
These themes don't overwrite the original theme.. you need only sidebar styler and then you can open any .wsstyles or restore the original theme from the styler menu.

remember that you can also simply save the original theme and load it when you want wink.gif

hi there,

could you please explain "how deep" this sidebar styler installs itself into your system? is it a standalone exe file or does it hack something or what does it do? i just ask because i want to know how easy i can get rid of it if i want to... and if there is any probability for problems or something

Wow, those are nice. Thanks for the work!

Yes, I mirrored them here. smile.gif

I think that sidebar styler is an application that 'hack' the sidebar and allows users to use new themes.
When you open windows sidebar styler, you can select a button or an image and replace it.
This app allows also to open .wsstyles (image replacements for the sidebar).
But you can also save the original theme by open sidebar styler, click the save wsstyles button and open this style when you want. wink.gif
After uninstalling the application, the sidebar turn back to the normal. smile.gif

Those are fantastic styles Steel89, thanks a lot.. I'm really looking forward to all of the customization that will take advantage of the DWM engine.. speaking of the dwm, i noticed that in times of extreme hard drive use, changing the priority on dwm from high to normal improved system performance noexpression.gif fluke?
