Not bad...

The minimize/maximize/close buttons look ugly without icons.

Agreed. Only thing that keeps me away from using it. Everything else is awesome!

Yeah I agree that this is one thing I don't really like lots in this theme.

i'd have to agree on the ugly buttons without icons.

would be nice if a you could create another variation with the icons?

OK,.. it's clear now!!! (wasn't satisfied with it either)

Here's a new version (Post #1) with new minimize/maximize/close buttons, Theme Files, separate ShellStyles, 2 new Sidebar Styles, Wallpapers & a version with a regular Maximized Titlebar.

Thanks for adding life to Vista Aero.....

I'm using the theme now. I like it a lot!

Thanks!!

let's give it a try.. looks like finally a good visual style for vista

You should change the shellstyle to blue (like the start button) or maybe add blue shellstyle so we can choose which we want.

I like the changes! Thanks.

Very nice theme! How do I modify my clock to appear like yours?

I like it. =)

Nice theme, using it on my laptop as my main one now. Loving the medium task-bar one.

Awesome!!! Seriously, this is exactly what I wanted!

I'm not too fussed with the taskbar changing, but I really felt that the inactive window view looked way better than the active view. None of that blue on the right and bottom edges and the buttons don't glow.

I've just noticed a small bug that can happen with this VS. If you have the colour intensity at minimum, then try and use the Start menu when the background behind the Start menu is white. It's kinda hard to read the white text against that very white background.
Would've expected it to look similar to the task bar, real dark tbh.

I hope you don't mind, but I made a skin based on yours, (its yours with many improvements to fit my own personal likes and dislikes) and I'm planning on making another, but it will be loosely based on yours, meaning you wouldn't know
