help me please, i've followed all the steps and i'm sure i did every step clearly. what next is there is finally NO DROPDOWN LIST T__T
As the last try, I follow Vistaglazz guide and still no drop down list. if i click the msstyle file directly, it launch an "appereance" window, and if I apply the downloaded theme It loaded, but with vista basic, meaning no transparency..

If anybody downloaded the "Take Ownership" program, and still need permission to change the name of the files, turn off UAC. Google it for instructions.

I have tried several different methods of applying 3rd party themes. Everything goes fine until I go into the themes part in the customize menu and it never appears in the list that comes down. Can you pls email me and help me to do this. I have been trying for months!!! Thanks

^^ Unlock Taskbar and right-click on Quick Launch toolbar handler and there you can change the icons to Large icons.

You can use other themes like "AeroVG" to get more transparency.
