Are you sure about that?
Can't think of a reason why it shouldn't work...

kann ja auch deutsch mit dir schreiben.
das buttonchanger tool funktioniert in der 64-bit ultimate version mit SP1 einfach nicht. nehme an dass es am service pack liegt, da kishan das tool ja laut eigener aussage fΓΌr 64-bit aktualisiert hat. laut den comments habe jedenfalls nicht nur ich das problem: [link]

snipes2 In reply to shafck [2012-01-03 12:03:59 +0000 UTC]
You mean ho to change the to look like this?
First you've got to import bigger images for WIndowsAndCaptionButtons/Aero/DWMWindow/Frames/Normal/Top
then adjust the SIZINGMARINS:MARGINS properties
Hope this helps!

Thank you!
The Clear and Dark VSs should work flawless, as for the alien VSs, there is a small problem with the tabs, but that's only a visual issue. You can use a custom browser style to solve this.
Happy new year!

Absolutely best v.s. for 7 so far! Just please fix too dark scrollbar track. It's hard visibile position of scroll thumb cause track is too dark gray. Increase brightness of scrollbar track almost twice and will be perfect.

Same here (Win 7, 64x, SP1)
Even in other programs as well, e.g. in livemail.

Nope I got that too. Really strange bug since I never seen it before in any VS.

Pretty nice theme, I especially like the 'Alien 2' version. Quite minimalistic as well, which I do not mind at all

Clear 1 is my favourite. As soon as I saw it in the preview I knew it would be. I can't decide if it needs border shadows or not though. Sometimes I feel the windows need something to bring them out from the background and at other times I like the way they sink into the background.
The left and right borders don't really work on web browsers other than IE and other apps with dark backgrounds as it leaves a white stripe running up either side. It's not stopping me from using it though
Thanks for putting these together.

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment, i appreciate this!
Unfortunately there's no way to keep the rounded corners of the explorer without the browser-bug, so i had to decide...
I'm glad you like it and wish you a happy new year!
