Wow.. finally a decent looking visual style for vista :o .. Have to try it out.

Thanks!

Edit: everything is fine, but only that the links are black, folders, white is a bit strange looking, otherwise a good dark looking theme.

Cant get it to work, tried the vistaglazz thing and then clicked the msstyles file, but nothing :(

[KnicksTape]

i tried to apply it using TuneUp but it didnt show up in the list so i had to double click on the theme itself to get it to work

[Lifeflayer]

Wow, finally a good theme without the annoying full screen transparency effect.

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

I think it looks great! Thanks :)

Too Dark, I Just about gave up on vista because the back skin is just so darn depressing looking. Now I have a royal theme and the blue makes it much better

[Colin-uk Veteran]

thats a nice looking skin :)

[simonlang]

i like that skin. good work. :)

Oh my. This is extremely nice. I'm glad we've finally gotten an original theme for Vista that's not WB.

[tpor_again]

Very well done, nice and elegant.

I love gray/black themes and this is a very good mix of blue and gray.

The only non-WB visual style that is not an Aero mod.

This is the first vista style I've seen that is not just an aero mod, just patched vista and am using it now, it's great. Just wish the test was lighter in some places and mabye some changes to the taskbar.

For some reason my computer actually feels more "responsive" using this theme as opposed to the regular aero theme. This theme is actually unique and polished which is great.

I'm having the same problem, it just does not load. Suggestions anyone?

[Ji@nBing]

Beautiful. The only thing missing is full screen glass.

[ultimate99]

Looks nice.

I used VistaGlazz to patch my files but it just changed to classic.

I tried double clicking the .msstyles file but the Appearance Settings dialog poped and saying Color scheme: Win Standard

What can I do?

[mshepp]

Looks really good, will be installing and using soon.

[Menge]

i have to say that this is one of the most attractive Vista themes yet :)

congrats :p

[redrumy3]

yep using this vs since he first released it and its by far my favorite one :) works fine with sp1 of vista as well

[ultimate99]

Can someone help me with the installation plz?

Try using Styler in Tune Up Utilities 2007.

[GuJu]

not really feeling how it looks on my pc

colors a bit to dark for my taste, but still a good theme for some.

Does not work. Have tried it with multiple patched files and none of them switch to the VS.

Maybe the creator should check into that.

[Zyphrax]

VistaGlazz should work with all valid msstyles. Unfortunatly you can't just doubleclick the msstyle file.

Here's how:

1. Copy the style files to their own directory underneath C:\windows\resources (just like the Aero folder)

2. Patch your system files with VistaGlazz (first option)

3. Reboot your PC

4. Go to the classic appearance window (control panel)

5. Windows hardcoded the Aero name, all cistom styles are also named Windows Aero, pick and apply, your visual style should be one of them

Tip: on the AeroXP forum there is a small DLL called DeskHack, it will reveal the true style names based on folder name in the classic appearance window. Usefull if you have a lot of styles.

Ok hand is tired now... Shouldnt use my phone to type neowin posts :)

No issue with TuneUp Utilities 2008 and Vista SP1. 44K downloads say enough.

Didn't work with me. I double click the .msstyle file after extracting it to the appropriate folder and I just get a window popup, which I ok to and I get the default Aero style.

I've patched my system manually and I can use the "small/medium taskbar" mod.
