One thing VG, is there a way to make the white borderline on the taskbar just a bit higher so it doesnt touch the clock didgets and the top of the start orb?, other than that, the black theme is great!

Right-click on toolbar and click on Customize option (Can't remember the exact name). It'll open dialog box where you can select to show text labels.

This download changes the theme only. There is another way to change your icon. You can find it out in this article: http://www.askvg.com/transform-windows-xp-into-windows-7-without-using-customization-pack/
