1 Problem
After choosing big quicklaunch symbols the superbar texture gets a little "corrupted".
I tried this with all 4 substyles (Aero,Bottom/32/48).
In the previous theme "SevenVG Refresh" this was no problem.
Would be nice if you could fix this.
Great Job nevertheless, THANK YOU !

VG: Do you by any chance have plans to put a theme like this together for Vista?It would be awesome and much appreciated.Least, if you make it I know I would not have to worry about the install, or any other problems for that matter.If not, thanks anyway VG, as I know you are extremely busy and finding the time is the question.
