Thank you for downloading "ISOTAVS"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My Christmas gift to you guys - my second theme ever, "ISOTAVS" (I'm Sick Of These Acronyms)
began as a titlebar expriment, and soon evolved into a full theme :P I would advise against
using super complicated wallpapers with this skin, as it will look bad due to the title bar blurring
(which I can't fix, because Microsoft are assholes). Please don't blame me or my skinning skillz.
I tried hard for you guys :( Again, if you find any bugs, don't hesitate to tell me. Included is:

* The "ISOTAVS" visual style for Windows Vista
* The "ISOTAVS Basic" visual style for Windows Vista Basic
* The "ISOTAVS" x86 (32-bit) system files
* The "ISOTAVS" CD Art Display skin
* The "ISOTAVS Basic" CD Art Display skin


If you are using a 64-bit (x64) Operating System, and are
also using Vista Service Pack 1 (THIS IS VITAL), than you
can download your system files at:

Using "ISOTAVS" Properly
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After applying the skin (I strongly recommend using a piece of software called "StyleSelector"
Which can be found on PsychoB's DeviantArt), do the following:

1) Right click on the desktop and select "Personalise"
2) Click on Windows Colour and Appearance"
3) Reduce "Colour Intensity" to the lowest possible amount
4) Click "Show Colour Mixer"
5) Reduce all values to lowest possible amount, except brightness, which you can
adjust according to your wallpaper.


I'D LIKE TO THANK:

I really like this VS.
However, I'm currently using Vista Home Premium, 32-bit. And the windows don't have the floating title bar, just flat white.
If it helps, I have Service pack 2 that just came out.

If I am to believe
I must forget.

To heal forgetting can help.
Dwelling brings much sorrow.
But God's love eases all my pain.
And I'll remember once again.
How it all began
And I'll be happy once more

This is a great style! I have a few questions though.

I'm new into the whole customization of vista, I'm just wondering how did you change the start menu icons and the font in the start menu?

I've got everything else working, and it looks awesome!

BTW what wallpaper did you use? I tried to click on an earlier link that was posted, but the link was broken.

Thanks in advance and I love your stuff.

1) You can change the start menu icons the same way you'd change a normal icon: right-click>;properties :) To change the font, you need to use a program called StyleSelector to apply your themes.

2) I've uploaded the wallpaper for you here: [link]

3) Thanks for all your support :D

4) Sorry about the late reply :(
