New Vista Standard Theme

It's all there. Now it's only a matter of time before someone makes an XP theme of the same nature for me ;)

Don't count on it for a while, most users that create the vista themes use the resources from the actual OS build.

So until microsoft release the build I don't think we'll see a few if any themes like that.

Geez does it hurt your eyes too? Can you see jagged edges on titlebar corners? I mean YUCK :P

Yeah, pretty terrible. Maybe it'll get overhauled by RC1/2.

#402769

I hope not :P

I think it's pretty funny how the Standard and Basic themes don't even adhere to the UI guidelines Microsoft designed for Vista. Why is it that the close program button in the Standard and Basic themes is the same size as the minimize and maximize buttons?

So much for consistency.

It's a beta... whatever they do, they'll do good by RTM.

That's not really an excuse as far as UI is concerned. The only tweaks they've done for the past few months is graphics-related; introducing selectable colors for Aero's glass frames, tweaking the frost look of Aero's glass, introducing this new Standard theme...

I just think it's funny, that's all.

100% improvement from xp

That's quite fugly in my opinion, at one point Vista looked alright... but now.. no way I'm updating. When it'll be time for me to upgrade my PC / update OS etc... it's gonna be OS X all the way ;)

Call me old fashioned but luna looks better than that!

i like it. seems like an improvement over the previous Vista Standard theme.

It's cool to an extent. My system doesn't support Aero glass so that's totally uncool and leaves Vista absolutely useless for me, haha ;) the plain theme is a disgrace i think and certainly needs to be removed immediately by any non-Aero vista user.

it only works if the bottem part of explorer stays at the same shade of lite blue. but the green toolbar looks funny now :/
