I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get hold of an original Vista aero theme with flat toolbars only...such as the one below. Thanks for any help. I looked at DeviantArt and some here...can't find it... Just Aero with this mod only. But everything stays the same.

Thanks omganinja, but I'm still a bit confused about the whole reshack thing. I'll try to figure it out though. Thanks for the help.

If you can upload the orginal areo VS I'm happy to do it for you, I modded mine and didn't back it up.

Why would you wanna do that though? It looks dog ugly.

yeah,I mean, MAYBE if it had been a nice blue shade instead of the ****ty grey, it looks totally misplaced, like a remnant of classic.

if you want that, you may as well just change the whole GUI to classic.

Oh man, omganinja, I would totally appreciate that. Do you mind doing on the one by psycob, the one without the icon? Here's the link below.

By the way, I really like your SquAero theme. I've been using that one from time to time too. Awesome job on that one. Maybe you could make one wihtout the icon haha...kidding. Great job.

wtf? Its a 10 fold improvement from the ****ty blue gradient in aero.

Full agreement from me :cool: . MS did a good job with the Aero Glass but everything else sucks. I'd love to see the control and widget designs from some of the cleaner XP VS's like mint or reluna appearing in some nice aero glass borders.

I've tryed to do this with all my themes (as I also hate the user picture) but for some reason the hex values in my aero file arent the same as in the one psycob has editted, maybe his version is from an old beta release or something, not sure.

Hey thanks, but the one from his file, already has the icon removed. I had a hard time with that too, but no need to edit to remove the icon as it's already been removed by him in his default file.

I think all you'll have to do is add that flat toolbar. I've been trying to add that flat thing for 2 hours and still can't get it. I'm glad you're doing it for me. Appreciate it.

omganinja, you are the man! it works perfectly. man, i gotta learn how to do this stuff. alright, now i got a really good working system. that silver thing really bugged, no matter how hard i tried to ignore it.

i'll try to find a tutorial and do one for the "windows standard" theme. i'm gonna try to remove that stupid icon with that. this is amazing. thanks again.

I think he meant the same one, but in the classic theme.

Is there a version with the user icon? I tried to modify it with ResHacker but I get some permission error and i try to activate yours, it just wont work, I don't know what I missed. :huh: -- ideas?

If you PM me your e-mail address, I will *try* to send you my modified version (gray toolbars, but with the user picture still there). This place where I'm at blocks me from uploading the file anywhere :huh:

I made one with a slight gradient, but with the blue heavily toned down, for personal use. Here is a pic of the original, then my VS.

I'll post the vs somewhere if anyone's interested.

Please do! That would be great :happy:

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
