Stardock supports WB skin and mine is msstyles. msstyles can't have transparent images. ;)

Yep. I can make a wb skin using my msstyles but it'll require time. May be I make one in future. ;)

^^ I think Vista Basic doesnt support Aero?

@emailaatif786
Does your system supports Aero? If not, then you'll not be able to use this theme.

well it does not supports aero officialy but when u do dis:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>software>microsoft>DWM> dere u'll a DWORD value composition..when u change it to 1 frm 0 and restart the DESKTOP WINDOWS MENNAGER SESSION MANAGER...u can activate aero in it and use glass2k for transparency's....but it still depends upon ur graphic card...i tried it on 90MB shared nvidia graphics n turns on aero or vista standard depending on H.ware
yar vishal bro...never expected such an answer frm u....

ne ways...so what about home basic...

Yaar, i would like it more if you update those themes a little more. They don't change the images that appear in the right hand side of windows like Personalize window. Those are still green, and that doesn't looks good, although they look fine with the blue theme. I don't use your black theme for that reason, otherwise it looks great! Also the blue theme has a glitch on the All Programs link in start menu, the selection image goes a little off the point there and leaves a black spot that looks a little ugly.
