    It is missing the glass effect... Might as well go for the real Aero...

    lol, ya ill stick w/ the real aero, even though i let the comments about how vista sucking get to me a little, its growing on me now. the "errors" ill work around, and most of the time they aren't errors, just things you need to understand.

    Just wait for the release of SP1 for vista, I believe it should resolve most of our problems that we encounter in vista.

    I probably tried hundreds of themes for my XP desktop. I tried a bunch of the aero themes and let me just say.. its not going to work with XP. Even if you get the transformation packs to give you glass etc.. it slows and bogs down the PC too much. After much searching I finally found one fantastic theme... its the MS zune theme that has been modified. I enjoy this theme so much that its as good as vista aero in its own way.. Sort of like the best XP can be without trying to be vista. Here is a link to deviant art site modified zune theme http://atomikscr.deviantart.com/art/Zune-Theme-Color-Mod-50421916
