- menubar background made gray, and solid (was bumpy gradient)
- toolbar background made gray
- list hover background, such as used in file explorer made gray, since it by default is very similar to list selection, (which can lead even to lost data!)
- taskbar background taken from plastik xp, idea for tray hide/unhide bar taken from clearlooks, done lamely but it works
- start menu button (vista orb) made a bit transparent at the top, not to cover possibly important data below (needs fix - rect visible on UAC screen)
-window border make thinner
-IE tabbar background and inactive tab background made gray (yes, i like gray, and hate vi*gra blue backgrounds)
It works OK also as aero basic.
I posted it on deviantart, (under username stylong also).
What I would probably use more happily is the complete port of plastik to vista (any format), but there's not a one.
also pls forgive me my being a total lamer, I have not seen a photoshop in a lifetime.
TODO:
- rename it, for now original aero.msstyles needs to be replaced (i don't need that, since i don't change skins once i like one
)- fix/tweak start menu button translucency
- continue conversion, taking the best of cool OS skins ("minimalistic" some call these, I'd call them "ergonomic"
)HINT:
-to go back and forth between classic and aero without loosing your settings in "advanced classic appearance properties" window:
net start/stop uxsms
net start/stop themes

Please don't tell me that the taskbar doesn't go well with the rest, I know it.
