Windows_X, I know I have been hard on you...so I'll fill you in on a bit. Youv'e got some reading ahead of you though LOL. One the first picture you presented, the red part is where Aurora will be. It is half implimented in that screen pic. Aurora is not a visual style as you all seem to think. I just wanna make it clear that it is not. People have been hard at work extracting different parts of Aurora, and there are two main views. There's Aurora for the desktop and then Aurora Preview (which I suggested to KoL). The Preview is that red part in the first pic you showed me. The desktop Aurora is an effect that we've seen from the Milestone 6 wallpaper if any of you have it. Most people got variations on it, blue green and so on, but the original was red. That was a screenshot taken from a desktop running Aurora desktop. Do you see how the wall looks like drapes for a curtain somewhat? (Go with me here lol) that part actually moves. That is what Arora is...the XAML based structure that creates this effect. For more reading, I suggest ieXbeta, since alot of the stuff posted you might get a benefit out, and some pointers perhaps in trying to work with a modified Aurora in both of your visual styles.

So this is Aurora?

it would be pretty cool if you got a Installer for this Skins, Also good for people that don't know how to install Theme's manually lol

No that's crap!

For the people who don't know how to do it: drag the theme folder to C:\Windows\Recourses\Themes

so that takes care of that problem :p
