ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7*!
*Windows 7 Starter not supported
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Extract the folder named "Visual Style" from the .zip archive to your desktop.
2. Go to the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes directory.
3. Open the 'Visual Style' folder located on your desktop, drag the contents of the "Visual Style" folder instead of the actual folder (as shown in this example ) to the "Themes" directory opened just before.
4. Now, right-click on your desktop, select "Personalize" (or any corresponding word for non-English systems), and finally select one of your favorite colors of the Toybox series!
5. After that, pick your favorite picture on your computer as your desktop background (unless if you want a blank colored background)!

Wow, this makes Windows look bearable.
It'd be awesome if I had a colourful style like this for Gnome 3 too. Gotta look for one. Or make one. We'll see...

Thanks very much!
Agree with you, it'd be great in a GNOME environment and could fit nicely, but I'm not using a Linux-based OS (currently not having enough time for an installation) and also don't know at all how to make a theme for it.

Yes, this theme is the updated version of 'Ichigo Pistachio' (now renamed with a different and much fitting name due to the others colors now included, not just 'strawberry with pistachio' ).
Does it now works on your computer? ^^

No problem! This is a better decision especially if you had previously a bad experience with visual styles. ^_^
Thank you anyway! : )

This is so awesome! I'll try it with Windows 8. I just upgraded yesterday and I'm so sorry I haven't discovered this a while ago

Thanks a lot!
As I heard it isn't possible at all to use themes made for Windows 7 on Windows 8, this will result to a crash and the Explorer will not work (the themes structure is modified between each versions of Windows, also there's currently no proper theme editor software available for it).

I did some searching as well and found out the same you said. Too bad, I was really looking forward to trying your theme If I ever install Windows 7 again, I will for sure!

Not a big fan of this skin, but it could be well suited for family desktops and such.

As I can read here since I uploaded it yesterday, it seems that there aren't major bugs reported by the others users (Aero Peek is now working and fully modified, the slight pulsing animation in the buttons is also fixed, and several changes/replacements done).
If you have any issues don't hesitate at all to tell me.

Cappippuni In reply to BiggyBerserker [2012-08-09 04:04:26 +0000 UTC]
Not, the opacity and colors of the windows is fixed, the color mixer in the personalization panel will not have any effect with this theme.
Anyway you can switch between the six colors available (green, pink, yellow, blue, purple and graphite).

Cappippuni In reply to catching---lugia [2012-08-08 06:06:03 +0000 UTC]
Have you copied all the files located in the 'Visual Style' folder in the .zip archive (Toybox Himawari.theme, Toybox Ichigo.theme, Toybox Konkurito.theme, Toybox Shida.theme, Toybox Umi.theme, Toybox Yoru.theme, and the folder named 'Toybox' including all of its contents) to the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes directory?
And do you use a 64-bit (x64) or 32-bit (x86) system (Go to the Start menu, right-click on 'Computer', then you should see if you use a 32-bit or 64-bit system)?
