Cool and awesome, hey by the way do you know if there is such a theme for Windows XP to make it look like Windows 7, transparent like the toolbars and start menu?
Mar 23, 2011. 6:42 PMzack247 says:
Stardock makes a tool that makes a theme quite similar to windows 7, but as far as actually making it look like 7 im not sure...

i think the tool was called skinstudio.

Huh. My brother installed this theme and got the Vista start button as well, somehow. Then he clicked on something else and it changed to the XP one. Any ideas on why it happened? Other than that, it was a great instructable. It goes great with black monitors/laptops.

Don't forget the dark background! (Actually a light grey or blue looks great with it too...)

lucky, ur feature, i usually put these themes by scratch, now YOU are getting the credit, im jealous

Ignore him, Microsoft made the theme and never released it. Thats why you don't need to patch the uxtheme.dll

please may you tell me why when you say 100% legal you really mean its got loads of bugs and spyware? my internet speed plummeted and i found it hard to do anything! please tell me why or fix this problem (if it wasn't intentional)
Mar 9, 2009. 3:16 PMYummyPancakes says:
Your comp probably slowed down because your graphics card can barely handle the high graphics of this theme. Just install a different, less graphics-intensive theme, and it should be good as new.
Mar 9, 2009. 3:03 PMReCreate says:
well you have spyware on your pc it signed by microsoft so that is not a virus
Mar 9, 2009. 3:20 PMYummyPancakes says:
Similar to what I said above, if you switch from a really highly graphics-intensive theme to this one, your computer can speed up. Graphics is one of the most demanding resources competing with the CPU, and it can have a major effect on computer speed.

please may you ignor my preivious comment on it being really good
