Note: This VS is in beta... there are bugs in it that I will try to get rid of.

The default Windows 7 Aero VS looks great. I didn't really feel like porting, but I had some requests asking me to port my theme over to Windows 7 and so I did.
I am posting this here because we don't have a dedicated Windows 7 'Completed Theme' section, yet.
Hopefully we can get one up soon now that Windows 7 has been released.

Very nice, I like it. Have you added a link to this list too? http://www.neowin.ne...howtopic=818990

Oh, hell yes!! Been eagerly awaiting this. Beautiful work. One small request though. Can we get the triangle start button for the full sized task bar as well?

Nice to see some themes coming out already for Windows 7. When Vista came out and there weren't any decent themes at all and none for a long time after that either.

I will keep that in mind; I want to fix whatever bugs there are first.

The reason I went with the orb (you probably know why as you've tweaked with the Start button before) is because the triangle start button is shared between all four superbar locations. So a large triangle button would look very out of place when you shift the superbar to the right.

Looks like a nice clean theme.

This screenshot shows two flaws in it so far in Windows 7 32-bit:

The tray icons have a white background on them, but they have a slightly maligned background if you mouse over them. In the Start menu, the top edge's gloss doesn't match up.

Understandable. I do hope you do eventually release it though as it looks awesome .

Kudos on making everything work with all taskbar orientations too. A lot of themes seem to just do the bottom and call it a day : .

@KJ- Nice work. it would appear that you surely put sometime into that theme.

#1. how long on average do you find yourself using to complete a theme?

#2. How do I use your theme for my Laptop?

thanks

This is bar none the best visual style for vista/win7 I have ever seen. I used to be huge into themes in xp but since voista they've all been crap.

GREAT work man.

I had to make an admin account and do it in the admin account.
