Added another new theme called "Ribbon VS". Pretty nice actually (retains the overall style of Windows 7 while improving on some things).

Ribbon VS is my favorite by far. It's what Windows 7 should look like by default.

The author is very talented, and I recommend everyone go and look at their DeviantART gallery. Many other extremely great themes, icons, and designs can be viewed there.

One of the originals, Impact, wasn't bad at all, but it was too big overall for me.

Only problem with Slan is that it isn't transparent.. doesn't have Aero does it?

I haven't tried it out myself, but the author can always use opaque graphics for the Aero portion so that all the Aero functionalities remain.

It still has all the Aero effects. I was using it temporarily but wished it had at least a little bit of transparency to it. Also some of the fonts chosen aren't as good as the default Windows 7 fonts and some areas of the superbar need to be improved on. I've decided to stick with Ribbon VS until some of these themes become more polished.

Currently using Ribbon VS. Was using Slan before that. But the odd fonts made me change it after a couple of weeks.
