did you patch vista for using customized visual styles?
the taskbar should change the color/style as it does here and for many others (hopefully

). the sidebar style can only be changed due an extra style - which comes with the first aerodiamond.rar and i added an extra dl link today so you can just grab the sidebar skin there.
do you mean the green progressbar? it's firefoxs "problem" not one of the windows style.

check out first post please.

@all

i released AeroDiamond Final 1.1 just now.

mirror site not working?

Anyone know why I am getting this white line under the taskbar? It does it when the taskbar is at the bottom too. Only with this VS.

Any chance of going back to the older color scheme? I liked the taskbar more white a lot more. Now it's just grey and too plain looking IMO. Still waiting for that nice white vista theme that was leaked a while back.

Not to be a jerk, but you can't go about changing a whole two resources and call it a brand new theme.. Thats like using a magic marker, crossing off a spiral notebooks brand, scribbling on the corner, and calling it a P-P-P-P-P-Power Book! (Yeah, reference to when that guy owned that scammer) ..

uh whats your problem? that's basically what everyone does atm. maybe just because no real great vista theme prog is out yet?
anyway since you don't offer constructive suggestions but only cheap bashing i'll ignore that. the views and numbers of downloads speak another language.

Just ignore him. He obviously has no idea WTF he is talking about.

Anyway, back to the theme. I was thinking something more along the lines of this. Every Vista theme is either black, grey, or fully transparent. What's really lacking is a nice and bright theme. I love idea of regular Aero, but white. I think your earlier versions started out on that path, but the theme got darker and darker every version. That's not to say it's not an awesome theme in it's current state, just that I would love to see that white concept developed further. Anyway, thanks for your hard work and I look forward to seeing your next version (however you decide to go with it).
