After getting lots of requests to make a Normal Taskbar version of my recently released theme "SevenVG RTM" for Windows XP, today I'm glad to announce my new theme "SevenVG RTM with Normal Taskbar".
This theme doesn't contain new Windows 7 Superbar (Big Taskbar). So if you are not a fan of Superbar, this theme will definitely please you.
You can download the theme using following link:
How to Use:
1. Once you download the ZIP file, extract it. You'll get a folder "SevenVG RTM Theme with Normal Taskbar for Windows XP by Vishal Gupta".
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

Wow ...I really like this theme.Thanks a lot VG!
@thehop
Yes, I like it a little - and a lot more without the ugly Vista Orb and the "bloody close button". ;-]
BTW: Please, make a own styled theme, without the pandemic cloned Windows Vista 7
or MAC design. ^^
Maybe ... like the lovely VXP FINAL by vStyler http://customize.org/xpthemes/42079
or the timeless Themes by http://customize.org/jromo

Does the search bar work?

Just great! to be honest, I find the Win7 superbar rather ugly, so this theme is the ideal solution for me personally, so I can e.g. keep my quick launch icons without problems.
Therefore I'm asking myself why are you mentioning Facebook in the upper right corner of your website as a method to subscribe to? Anyway, I am a daily reader overhere for quite a long time already, so I asked your permission to add you on Facebook. Please consider my request and the reason why 
I also tried to subscribe to your postings using Facebook but it seems that you're hard to reach out there
Grtz!

Just a suggestion ,why not call the theme "SevenVG RTM Theme with Thin Taskbar" or "SevenVG RTM Theme with Winxp Taskbar", normal does not give the impression that the taskbar is the "thin" windows xp style.

What is a styler toolbar? I've always been puzzled what that is...

Styler replaces the buttons and search bar in explorer.
