That's cool but I can't see the white characters from start menu and taskbar if I have a white wallpaper or window on the background.

Sorry for my bad english

Also, check this for a less-memory efficient but much more efficient way to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CnQv8ntiHU&NR=1

Thanks, I finally got it working! The only thing I notice now is that it doesn't work when I have a window at full screen....do you know why that may be?

^^ It seems DWM (Desktop Windows Manager) service is not running in your system. Make sure its set to Automatic and running properly using "Services.msc".

Hey, I have tried following all of these steps, downloading and re-downloading win-RAR and following your steps to a T and can't figure this thing out. I have the theme applied, but it looks like my crappy old Vista Home Basic. I did just watch a movie online that automatically changed all of my settings back, and that is what inspired me to find an Aero theme. I cannot change the color scheme like I used to be able to in Vista. Do you know anything that can help all this? Please e-mail if you can. Thanks!
