HOW TO USE:
1. In the downloaded pack, you'll get 2 folders:

=> Theme (This folder contains the main theme.)
2. Copy all contents in "Theme" folder to "%windir%\Resources\Themes\" folder.
3. Now you can set the theme using Desktop Properties.
4. Also make sure you have patched the "uxtheme.dll" file to allow 3rd party visual styles, if its not patched, then download and run the UXtheme Patcher from here:

Hey, great job on these themes, they're the best ones around. Anyway, There's one thing that bothers me. The black bar up top, when the window is maximized, I think it'd look a lot better if it was the same as the taskbar, you know, that color and the shine at the top.

Oh, sorry, one more thing.
The white lines on top of the minimize, maximize and close buttons is kind of annoying

^^ Do as following:
1. Download UXTheme Patcher from our "Downloads" section.
2. Boot into Safe Mode by pressing "F8" key and then run the patcher.
3. Now boot normally and then try to apply the theme. It should work.
