You can't find it because it doesn't exist. The last version was made before Vista went RTM: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=308905 (and didn't support x64 for that matter)

If someone could tell me what files need patching, I might be able to whip something up in python...

I was about to suggest VistaGlazz, but I suppose you found it already or something equivalent.

I found it, but .. now I have to find otu why the hell my vista 64 bit doesn't have an aero theme. I installed it fresh.. o.O

Is it showing the bluish Vista basic style? Or are you stuck with Windows 9x styling? :blink:

If the bluish theme is currently active then either you don't have 64-bit drivers for your video card, or you need to search for some. Failing that, your video card lacks SM2, or you have a dodgy copy of Vista. :p

:laugh: Well of course, it's not just any theme. Your gfx card has to support it for it to work, and if you don't have good drivers, Vista thinks you don't have a good gfx card.

I used VistaGlazz, but I'm still unable to chage themes... must be doing something wrong although it says "patched'.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
