Recently I released "SevenVG Black RTM" theme for Windows XP which is a Black version of my "SevenVG RTM" theme.
Lots of people requested for a Normal Taskbar (Thin Taskbar) version of this theme and I'm glad to announce that "SevenVG Black RTM with Normal Taskbar" is available to download now.
You can download it using following link:
How to Use:
1. Once you download the ZIP file, extract it. You'll get a folder "SevenVG Black RTM Theme with Normal Taskbar for Windows XP".
2. In this folder, you'll get 5 more folders:
- Extra Common Tasks (This folder contains 2 extra shell styles: Bottom and Left dark blue.)
- Fonts (This folder contains Segoe UI fonts required for the theme. Run Fonts.exe file to install them.)
- Iconized Taskbar Hack (This folder contains registry script to enable Iconized taskbar in Windows XP.)
- Styler Toolbar (This folder contains "Styler" setup file and "SevenVG RTM" Styler skin. You can apply it to get Windows 7 look-like commandbar in Windows XP Explorer.)
- Theme (This folder contains the main theme. Run Theme.exe file to install it.)
3. Run "Theme.exe" file present in "Theme" folder and apply the theme using Desktop Properties.
4. Also make sure you have patched the "uxtheme.dll" file to be able to use 3rd party themes in Windows. If its not patched yet, download and run UXtheme Patcher using following links:
For XP SP3 Users - Download UXTheme Patcher
For XP SP2 Users - Download UXTheme Patcher

Hi there. This is almost the perfect theme for me. First of all, the start menu selection color makes it so hard to see which icon i'm looking at. Because the color is too close to black color already. Can you make another version or teach me how to configure the color?
Example when I hover my mouse over My Computer in start menu, I hardly can see which one I was selecting if I sit a bit far away from my monitor. I know this can be done by configuring the contrast, but I didn't want to mess with the contrast settings since it's perfect for other applications.
Secondly, in Media Player Classic, the Alt menu are in white some part and doesn't match with the color of the windows.
