Artist's Comments

Small update: Square corner on the bottom right now.
Update: Removed gradient bars on sides

Made this because I wanted a slightly different look, but nothing too drastic. The zip has been on my desktop for months and I finally decided to upload it. You'll notice the blue border extends around the entire window, same for the start menu :D

To install this theme, you need the properly patched dll's for visual styles. Ohly works with Vista Aero enabled systems of course. You can get the patched files here: [link]

The Firefox theme is Urethane Light by :iconmiamoto:

Haha I like the "Werd!" shortcut on your desktop. Great work! :) Strangely I`ve been using the basic Aero theme lately, so this is perfect for me. Cant wait to see what else you come up with.

This is a very cool modification of the default Aero interface! I like it alot!
While looking at it, I wondered how Aero would look like with both corners being, eehm... corners and not rounded anymore ;)
Do you have another version with edges on both sides?

Deviant links is easy, check out the deviantART help page.
So this should do miamotos avatar:iconMiamoto and a link to his page :devMiamoto

Ah, thanks. I thought of making the other corner squared. I may edit it soon. Right now I'm figuring out what windows update broke the visual styles >_>

Well, in case anyone ever comes across the same problem where it says "visual styles could not be applied" the actual file inside the theme's needs to be aero.msstyles, otherwise it doesn't seem to load. Odd that it wasn't like that before I reinstalled windows.

I'll stop commenting on my own work now... :lonely:

Just rename your [link] to Sharp [link] in your en-US file and it will work.

This is awesome. Could you take the gradient out of the glass? I've always hated that. XD
