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

Did is very good. 10/10 for your hardwork. When it changed i had one fat grin on my face. Thanks a million
Quick question though... In your screenshot you can see that in the My Computer Window the hard drive icons have the space used bar... Mine doesnt... Is there a problem or is it something you've left out??

Hello Dear Vishal:
I’m using your theme “SevenVG Black RTM Theme with Normal Taskbar for Windows XP”.
My Operative System is Win XP Pro SP3; I write you to let you know about some bugs that happen when I use “TaskSwitchXP Pro 2.0”. You can find it here: http://www.ntwind.com/software/taskswitchxp.html
The bugs are: (please see/open attached picture for better understanding)
http://tinypic.com/r/e84ehv/6
It shows a picture that does not correspond to the user or application
It shows a white space above the opened windows names.
It shows black and/or similar color to the background.
Additional Information:
-I’m using the color scheme Aero 48
-It only happens with your theme; Royal Noir, Sentinel or Xpize work perfectly.
-I have tried almost everything to solve it but I could not, so it’s a bug.
Finally, please fix it and let me know your comments writing me to my email. Please do not ignore this request, I’m a big fan of your work.
Thanks,
memo

^^ I'm aware of this bug. Actually it happens due to putting Vista like userpic in Startmenu which appears outside of startmenu body. Sorry to say but nothing can be done to fix it.
btw, have you checked the new version of TaskSwitchXP which is VistaSwitcher?

This is great VG, many thanx!
>>>>The only thing I would like to see, not sure if you already though of this or not. But I would like to have the basic style in black also like the SevenVGRN theme.
