    This software is really nice.
    It allows you to modified/change windows themes.
    Moreover, you can have your maximized windows bar to be transparent.
    Now, it is available for SP1 and SP2.

    Thanks for the news TS.

    Don't see the point of this when you can just patch the files yourself.

    you don't have to do it manually?

    you have something that you have visibly installed to see "ah, this os has patched files". afterwards, you can uninstall it, and don't have the patched files.

    so, it's not "one way", and "visible".

    thanks for the notice, now i can go back to my thin taskbar mod :)

    Another installed app. on my system (Especially one that is not necessary)? No thanks. Not that hard to patch 2 files...and keep back-ups of the original.

    Seeing as I rather not touch anything like that myself in fear of breaking it, I am glad and willing to allow a program to do it safely for me.

    I am also happy of the results. :)

    Anyone care to help because I just downloaded the newest version and it quits every time I try and run the program? I had the same problem with previous versions as well. ;)

    p.s. It installed with no problems, just can't get it to run and i'm on Vista Premium SP2.
