Author’s Notes: This is the third release of my Dark/Purple theme for Windows Vista
there has been quite a few changes in this release.
Changelog:
-A return to my original intention of a dark skin, the start bar and start menu have been darkened
-Fixed alot of bugs in some of the images, such as the separator bar and the progress bar
-Brand new Dark Vista Basic skin, who says Vista basic people should have a crap skin
-Changes to the aero windows:
+Two different skins one with the normal buttons and a new skin that doesn’t have the buttons
but the Close, Maximize and Minimize buttons appear when you hover over them with your mouse, this gives
the windows a nice clean look.
+New window look gives the windows alot more depth
+Removed the “glow” around the title of the window, so if you are using a dark colour on your theme (which I recommend) you should change the title bar text colour to white on active and inactive windows.
-By going into the appearance menu
-then go to “Window Colour and Appearance”
-then click on “open classic appearance properties for more colour options”
-then click “Advanced”
-then choose “Active title bar” from the dropdown menu and change the colour to white
-do the same for “Inactive title bar” but change it to a light gray colour
-Various other things
Hope you enjoy it!

Not that easy to use when it comes to replacing the .dll files… most of them came up with an error message saying the file I was trying to replace was in use, so I had to rename the troublesome files with a .bak extension.
Other than that I like it, very pleasing on the eyes.
