Aero Plex Theme
This theme is inspired by the Plex theme originally seen on old beta versions of windows codename Longhorn. I didn't want to re-create the Plex theme but create a modernized version to work with Vista. I have tested the theme on both the X86 and X64 versions of Vista and currently know of no known problems with either version.
To be able to use this theme you will need a 2 things.
1. Uxtheme patch by Rafael to enable themes in Vista - http://www.anti- tgtsoft.com/ repository/ uxtheme/Windows% 20Vista/SP0/
2. Sidebar styler by Stanimir Stoyanov to be able to use sidebar theme http://www.stoyanof f.info/blog/ 2007/01/17/ windows-sidebar- styler/

Aero Unified Theme
The fact that the glass shades of the window borders and taskbar/sidebar were different always bugged me, especially since that meant that the taskbar could have plain white text while the window border needed black text with the white "blur" effect, even if you chose a dark glass color.
So... I took the style of the taskbar/sidebar glass and copied over to the window border and removed the white "blur" effect, creating a more unified Aero theme:
I've attached just the aero.msstyles file, I didn't make a custom shellstyle. The Back/Foward buttons Shown in image are from Aero X3remes RC1 I included several styles.
Additional Steps (titlebar text and glass border size):
- Go to Personalization > Window Color and Appearance
- Open Classic Appearance Properties
- Click the "Advanced" button in the lower right
- Select Active Title Bar and choose white in the drop-down box at the bottom
- Select Inactive Title Bar and choose grey in the drop-down box at the bottom
- If you would like, select Border Padding and change it from 4 to 8 for a larger glass border.

Maxclear V3 theme created by Sonicexcess
This is a 2nd follow-up to my original Aero Maxclear theme. V2 was popular in its own way but then there seemed to be a lot of copycats turning up. So for V3 I decided to do something different again and try to steer away from the copies of my original themes. But as I found this is quite hard to do with the current applications at my disposal. There are a lot, and I mean a lot, of very subtle differences in V3 compared to V2. Most people will not see them at first. But then there are the obvious changes. New start menu with uniformed glass. New flat glass taskbar. New start orb and most of all the more transparent glass all around. There is also a new sidebar style to go with the theme.There is also the Metallic silver basic theme for people who cant use Aero as seen in V2.

For the extra transpancy effect you will also need to adjust 1 thing.
1. Right click on your desktop and click 'Personalize'
2. Open Appearance settings
3. Go to 'windows colour and appearance'
4. Click on 'Default' for your glass effect
5. Now move the slider to the far left for the clearest glass
5. Apply
