I'm pleased to announce my new theme "Vista Seven" for Windows Vista:

*tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs31/300W/i/2008/228/1/3/Vista_Seven_Theme_for_Vista_by_Vishal_Gupta.png

This theme is not very special. It has been made to fulfill a few requests which I have received from lots of people.

Actually not all people like those fancy Vista themes having lots of transparency, stylish buttons, shell style, start menu, etc. Many people are satisfied with default Aero theme but they want to have a few features which are missing in default theme and which have been included in this theme:

1. New Taskbar similar to Windows Seven.

2. Transparent titlebar in Maximized windows. Note that the titlebar has glass even in maximized windows which you'll never get in any 3rd party Vista theme.

3. New Shellstyle in Control Panel similar to Windows Seven.

So its a theme which is similar to default Vista theme but having a few features taken from Windows Seven.

I hope you'll like it. :)

Installed and running here.

Gorgeous theme, Vishal. As a matter of fact, I have been using only your AeroVG since I installed Vista.

A few probably dumb questions about the Windows 7 theme:

1) Is it possible to get a slightly more transparent taskbar like with your AeroVG? I do not have VistaGlazz installed, but used the UXtheme patcher.

2) How did you get that toolbar at the left edge of your screen in your screenshot?

OS is Vista Ultimate 32bit SP1.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

The taskbar is by design since Windows 7 has similar taskbar.
Regarding to your toolbar question, pls visit following link:

even after applying the theme I dont notice any difference:confused::confused:

The only difference I find is that the wallpaper is changed and the windows have transparency even at maximized state.Am I missing something??Or is that it???

^^ You'll find a small gradient change in taskbar and also check the left sidebar in Control Panel.
