    Hi,

    I got a new laptop a couple of months ago. I am running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. My graphics card is very capable of Aero. However, I find it very annoying and found that it drains my battery fast with all the 3d effects. So I've turned aero off. However I don't really like the Vista Basic theme too much and am wondering if anyone knows of themes I can download that won't requrire AERO to be turned on.

    I just want sometthing simple and clean.

    Thanks
