Quick Guide:

To use custom visual styles you need to patch your system, via VistaGlazz or TuneUp Utilities

Next unpack 'NEXTLevel' folder to 'C:\Windows\Resources\Themes' (where C is the partition with Windows installed)

Now you can change the visual style by clicking any .msstyle file, or via 'Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance'

Click here for the full installation guide

Hi Vathanx! You have done a great piece of work here, it is very beatiful theme!!! Do you have any prevision to make this for Windows 7 Ultimate x64? I will glad to use it , oh other question do you know how can I get the picture preview, like in the screenshot of the theme, because when I apply by vistaglazz or by tune up, I don't get the preview in the rigth side of the window in my picture and images folders :S

Could you send me the resources you used for the taskbar? I'm would love to base my next SBar skin on your wonderful work. In case you didn't know, SBar is a taskbar replacement that brings win7 functionality to vista and xp. [link] Thanks.

thanks a lot,
this theme is awesome.
although there is one thing that disappointed me..
the start menu dousnt show your user image..
i know that it isnt that important but its kind of a basic part of of the start menu and i hope there will be a version that has the user image in the start menu too sometime..

Vathanx In reply to BIBIJR [2009-03-15 15:50:08 +0000 UTC]

What orbs...?

If you mean you want to use the alternate taskbar with the orb star button, then you just need to apply the second .msstyles in the package called NEXTLevel AT
