After getting a lot of demand of a blue version of my recently released theme "VistaVG", I'm glad to announce the release of "VistaVG Blue Refresh" theme.

Download Link:
You can download the theme using following link:
Make Windows XP look-like Windows Vista
There are 2 versions in this theme as usual:
- Blue32 (for 32x icon size)
- Blue48 (for 48x icon size)
How to Install and Use:
1. Download the file and extract its content. You'll get a folder "VistaVG Blue Refresh Theme by Vishal Gupta".
2. In this folder, you'll get 2 more folders:
- Fonts (This folder contains Segoe UI fonts required for the theme. Copy them to "%windir%\Fonts" folder.)
- Theme (This folder contains the main theme.)
3. Download and run UXTheme patcher using following topic:
How to Install & Use Themes in Windows?
4. Copy all contents in "Theme" folder to "%windir%\Resources\Themes\" folder and apply the theme using Desktop Properties.
NOTE: In the above step, %windir% means C:\Windows\ folder. We assume that Windows is installed in C: drive in your system. If you installed Windows in some other drive, replace C: with the appropriate drive letter.

I am new to useing themse in XP, on ly on PDA/BB...
I have one problem I cannot get past w/your themes. I have a preference to have the desktop default colr to black, not what color you have it set to for the theme, as I place custome images on my desktop. Once I change this, every time I reboot, it defaults back to your original color mathing the theme tone...
How can I change?
This is great stuff you have, I love it...!!!
THanks,
