Right well I reinstalled vista and with that I want a new look, a glass/crystal type deal.

I tried to apply a glass theme which requires you to patch something, Anyway that didnt work

1680x1050

After that I did various things to get as close as possible, at present my windows maximised or not are aero glass styled

Although blurred not clear.

How do I make it totally clear instead of a blurred type thing?
How do i make the taskbar totally clear? Or replace it with one that is?
Where can i get a crystal look skin for rkLauncher?
What would be a good wallpaper to go with a glass theme?
What kinda cursor should I use?

After scanning deviant art and various parts of the intranetz trying to figure it out for myself I thought I might aswell Just ask here

Cheers
Indy x

Yeha i did see that, and its perfect !

But it requires WindowsBlinds (N)

Double Post.

Right i purchased WindowBlinds and downloaded that theme.
However whenever I try to apply it, The taskbar and menus revert to classic, Any ideas?

It was supposed to be a joke ¬_¬
The implication was that I was a lesbian,
Search term: Lesbian
Resulting Page: My Social Netowrking site o_O

Anyway, I ended up applying visual styles, Not as crystal clear but clear nonetheless.

I jsut need to Sort out my Dock, Programs, Start up programs, Notification Tray, Cursor, Icons, Boot screen etc etc...

Treemty, it doesn't take 10min to change a theme. It will take about 30sec to a minute to change it and then it's done. If it doesn't show, there's a problem.

Indy, keep your sexual orientation to yourself (Y) =P

===============================================================
B4 I download a theme, I should always read what to do, I almost broke my computer again by screwing up big time XD, I put the files in the wrong place and it wont work, then I wanted to delete the file cuz I gave up hope on it, it came in with a bunch of junk, I went to uninstall it and I accidently removed some important files >.<
Good thing my comp didnt get

up from the huge screw ups
Lesson- Dont

around with your computer files unless your sure what they are >.<
