^^ Oops. I apologize for the delay. Your comment somehow missed from my eyes.
Are you using SP1 in Windows Vista? I'll advise you to install Tuneup Utilities and then apply the theme using its Styler application. Its safe and works perfectly.

You missed mine too VG. >=( hehe, no hard feelings though.
Here is my setup, I have SP1 on Vista, I used Tuneup to apply it,
and it seems to only work (the transparency part) only when vista
boots up and shutdown. Pretty odd symptoms if you ask me. I tried
to change theme, restart, change them back but it is still the same.
Do you have any clue?
VG
^^ Sorry mate. Can you please post a screenshot link?
Stephanie
It's alright, VG. No, I'm not using SP1. I'll try TuneUp Utilities.
Stephanie
Finally! It worked! It's gorgeous, VG. I'm glad and very thankful. ^_^
VG
^^ You are welcome.
Stephanie
VG,
I have a quick question. The Tune Up Utilities installed the theme just fine, except my start button is the same. It doesn't turn into the start button you have in your preview. I don't mind it much, just curious on why it may not change.

^^ I think you are doing one of following:
1. Your taskbar is set to have 2 rows. Unlock it and decrease its height.
2. You have set "Quick Launch" icon size to Large. Set it to Small.
3. You are using Taskbar at top. Put it at bottom and you'll see new start button.
Stephanie
1. Taskbar is unlocked and will not decrease in height. Already smallest it can go
2. My quck launch isn't even showing, I disabled it.
3. The Taskbar is on the bottom. I have ObjectDock on the top.
