It doesn't look that much different than the default theme.... You can change the window color to be a closer match (if not identical) to the one in the pictures; the only real difference I can see is the taskbar and sidebar, which are translucent white, not translucent black, and the sidebar has a definitive edge on the left side of it instead of fading to nothing.

Am I not seeing what makes this so different?

THANK YOU FOR RE POSTING THESE PHOTOS! I have been looking all over for them and the old topic got archived somewhere... Ok. Yes! I love this theme and I'm hoping somebody makes this for the upcoming window blinds for Vista. In any case, I'll take a shot at it when the time comes. YAY!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever since Windowblinds for Vista has come out I have been eagerly awaiting this visual style. I really like how this looks. However, I can swear I've seen a sidebar skin that mimics that one though. I'll look for it, and post if I can find it.

The next to last one is an imitation of the sidebar. Now we just need to wait for a WB skin.

Yeah, this looks AMAZING... Of all the few themes available for Vista NONE have a clean, professional look. I'd even pay for it if someone ported this concept to WindowBlinds 5.5. The only minor thing I don't like about it is the rounded search button, it should be a rectangle like the address bar sitting right next to it.. The other thing I LOVE about this theme is that the taskbar is not horizontally spanned across the entire screen. Imagine if a person had 2 monitors though, and the taskbar would continue on to the next display and then "close" it. That would be pretty nice! :woot:

Wow, that looks great! I really wish Microsoft would release it!

That new flip3d thing with soft shadows and a blurred out background looks amazing! Vista is capable of it, as evidenced by the pictures, so Microsoft should release it for people to play with. It'd generate some buzz for sure.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
