Description
UPDATE 1:Made the visual style easier to install, and updated the readme.
This requires a patched uxtheme.dll to allow your computer to set custom visual styles. You have two programs which can do this for you: A universal (Sp1, sp2, etc.) uxtheme patcher by cclloyd9785 or"VistaGlazz " by CodeGazer .
Or you could use an in-memory patch such as the free UxStyle Core
Instructions in the Readme.
Enjoy!
For a tutorial on how to do this for your visual style, take a look here.
This enables transparency and blur in vista home basic.
this has been proven by fediaFedia, and is on Vishal Gupta's website as an article: [link]
Note: you must have DWM enabled with Aero for this to work. If you cannot enable Aero, read this article by Vishal
and comment!The Aero visual style is (C) Microsoft.

Hi, people seem to say this is a good theme. Does this work if your graphics card doesn't support Aero? Plus I'm using home premium, will this make any difference?

Surely if you're using Vista Home Premium, you won't need to download this in order to enable Aero...

I can't seem to overwrite the original aero.msstyles in the Aero folder with the pre-patched one.
I got "You need permission to perform this action".
Any help? Thanks in advance.

Managed to get it working now, thanks so much!

Here's how I did it:
1. Make a copy of the "Aero" folder, rename it into "Aero Copy" or something
2. Overwrite the "aero.msstyles" file in the "Aero Copy" folder with the pre-patched aero.msstyles file included in the .zip file
3. Rename the original "Aero" folder into something else
4. Re-rename "Aero Copy" to "Aero"
That worked for me
