Yes, but that takes a little away from the Vista feel...

What do you mean? Did they not install correctly?

Also, Here's my new desktop:

I thought a Space desktop would go well with the theme. :P :D

I use it because it's simple, it's clean, and it doesn't hog cpu time. Also, I hate the whole bubbly/curvy look. I much prefer right angles, since I have an engineering kind of mind.

@ t551t551 - (Boy, you have a complex name to type :?) I love your avatar! Did you make it yourself?

@ Hebes24 - I downloaded the Royal Theme, and tried to extract it from the .rar, but it said it's corrupted or something. I'll try again soon. And the Royal Noir Theme wouldn't download. It was really slow this morning. I'll try it again as well.

Yup, if you get the Royale, it will give you all three. In the display properties, go to the appearance tab. Then in the Color Scheme box, you can select Royale Noir and the Zune scheme. (if you have Royale Style selected in the Windows and buttons menu)

My favorite is the Zune Theme. I love the black and orange mix.

It may slow down the startup just a teency bit, but not a whole lot. You can edit what programs load when windows boots up by going to "Start Menu\Run" then type "msconfig" and click on the Startup tab. Then you can choose when you want to load when windows starts up. This will help your PC run faster all around.

Hm, well I downloaded/installed the Zune theme, not the Royal one, 'cuz it says you need UXTheme or something :? Heh, I like the Zune one, so I'll stick with that for a while. (I now have a spiderman background that goes awesome with it :)
