And to my friend (who banned me on his page) that thinking that I was manipulating the download, I'm not angry at you. It's your own opinion and I respect that.. I'm open for reconciliation...
Again, thanks to all who download this theme. This is all for you. Hope you will like the Aero version of this which will be release next week.

Just a simple idea..
Convert and keep this one too, there's a lot of people that dont like glass (like me xD) :b
Btw.. show/hide button skin would be welcome on current theme
And keep that awesome work, one of the best themes :b

The show/hide button was the last thing I've done on this VS and the first thing to be re-worked on my to-do list..

This theme is great! It'll be my main theme now.
Just a few suggestions, can you make the color of the taskbar changeable? because I like to match my taskbar to my current wallpapers. Also the "Show hidden Icons" button is a bit jagged for me. In the shut down menu, the font color for all the options (restart, etc.) is the same color as unclickable buttons, so that's pretty confusing. In the start menu, the "All Programs" doesn't have a highlight. Lastly, the "restore down" button where the close and minimize are, is touching the top of my screen.
Hope you can fix some of these

i'll be working on it on the next update thanks for the feedback and thanks for using it as your main theme,,,

could you change "show hidden icon" button with an arrow? it seems like it doesn't suit with the theme, but the theme itself is great

i'll fix it on the next update,,,
Thanks!!

You're welcome, although it would be great if you made some adjustments here and there, especially the taskbar could use some colour I find. Are you still working on it?

i'm still working with it simultaneously with the metro glass (black) VS,,, I'm thinking of updating the Metro IM with a new top frame (like the new UI of MetroTwit),,,

I'm glad to hear that, I'll be waiting.
Keep up the good work

explorerframe and shell32 for windows 7 x64 sp1:

Pulled bitmaps from x86 files provided and stuck them into the x64 sp1 files. Let me know if I've missed any of the images! Looks great on x64!
Can't wait for a black variant though- or perhaps a method of customizing colour using the glass colour setting?

shell32 didnt work for me. said it was missing after I pasted in the new one would love to see this on my win7x64

strange. It worked fine for me- I used Windows Theme Installer to replace the file (as I've previously had trouble replacing system files manually).

thx, my I've suspected my system is a bit buggy, it's due for a wipe and reinstall

I'm currently working on the black variant, slightly different from the original but still.. Metro...
I'm also thinking of updating this VS with a new look from MetroTwit.

Looks good! I'm sure whatever the end product it'll look great!
