Hey Vishal, great theme!
I hope you'll be able to do this for me: I always have my taskbar set to to be wide, so I can fit more quick launch icons. I can't find any themes with the vista orb in the MIDDLE of the taskbar when it is wide. Would you be able to make an edited version of your theme for me? Or instruct me as to how to do it?
Im sure there would be many others who have there taskbar wide.
Thanks!

^^ You'll never get an XP theme with the feature you want. Its a limitation in XP msstyles. We can't have that wide ORB. You'll have to use WindowBlinds skin for it.

^^ You'll have to patch your Windows with UXTheme Patcher to be able to use 3rd party themes. You can get it in Downloads section.
