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

Can you put the new Windows 7 orb like in your VistaVG RTM theme on this one, I'd like.

hey, im using it but the orb size is not the same as in Windows 7, can you make it the same as the VistaRTM theme (the correct sizing)

First of all, great job on everything! I've used most if not everything on your site at one time or another and it's all great!
That said, I did notice a minor issue with this theme. To reproduce it, open the Registry Editor and expand/collapse the My Computer key. The expand/collapse arrow is not erased, and the new one is instead draw immediately over the old one. Minimize/minimizing the window fixes the issue. I'm not sure if this is fixable, but thought I'd mention it, since no one else seems to have noticed it.
