This is my personal visualstyle i use on all my computers at home. It is a simple aero mod with some subtile changes.

Both basic and aero part are skinned.

The shell is a slightly modified version of a win7 shell by Freak180 which can be found here : [link] Thank you Freak180 for letting me use your resources !! Much Appreciated !!

It comes in 5 substyles :
- gersmaero clear (100% transparent)
- gersmaero_0% (opaque)
- gersmaero_5% (5% transparent)
- gersmaero_5%_20% (5% on taskbar, 20% on maximized windows)
- gersmaero_20% (20% transparent)

This vs can be used on daily basis as it's very easy on the eyes and has a good readability.

recomended resources :
- gersmaero visualstyle : use the download button on the left !
- sidebar without background : [link]
- black userpic : [link]
- black gadgets ENGLISH : [link]
- black gadgets DUTCH : [link]
- vistaextreme wallpaper : [link]
- vistaextreme logons : [link]

3rd party programs :

- uxthemedll patcher (for non microsoft visual styles) : [link]
- sidebarstyler (for changing the sidebar background) : [link]

I have no experience whatsoever on porting vista visual styles to windows 7. But I have already experimented with a resource editor and made wa windows 7 aero version which resembles the one above a lot, except for the task bar which in my win7 version is the flat styled win7 taskbar and not the small & glossy vista taskbar.

Maybe I'll put it online but the problem with these simple aero edits is that they are not much appreciated by the community. Some comments like : what's changed, boring, etc might be espected.

1) choose the vs you want (pack contains 5)
-> Gersmaero_clear for example
2) copy that folder to c:\windows\resources\themes
3) open display properties and find the option where you can choose your visual style, choose gersma clear from the list

confirm your choice and then the gersma clear vs should be loading, thats all ..
