Description
Original concept by [link] I just ported it to shellstyle.Visual style is Aero M1 by [link]
To install copy this file, shellstyle.dll you just downloaded to your C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Visual Style Name\Shell\NormalColor\ and rename it to shellstyle.dll
And yeah, to make it look like mine you need to replace your shell32.dll with a top one. If you need help doing this ask.
How to get topshellstyle
Download [link] by yethzart
Restart your computer and while is showing that white text (before the actual bootscreen) keep F8 pressed.
In the option list that appears chose Safe Mode or Safe Mode with networking
Download and add to the registry this [link] (the reg file that says "add take ownership" of course.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\ and search for shell32.dll, right click on it, select take ownership. After that rename it to [link] and reboot (everything should be ok)
This stuff is not for beginners ( i mean replacing the system file) Before you do this be sure to check the version your shell32.dll is by right clicking on it (the one in system32) and choosing the details pane. A system restore point should be made before this operation. You must also have the Vista install dvd in case something works wrong (ie: explorer not starting). If so, restart with the dvd in your dvd-drive, boot from it, let it load, then choose Repair from that menu, and select System Restore and your system will be restored to that point before you made the change.

Will this safely replace the shellstyle in Windows Home Basic, which doesn't allow for transparency?

ok! to install theme you need either TuneUP Utilities 2008 (it has TuneUp Styler 2, come on, search it on a network or piratebay) or use StyleSelector you can find it in [link] 's gallery. (Though i recommend TuneUp Styler). You download a visual style that you want extract it (if it's archivated) then move the folder that contains only "Visual Style Name.msstyles" (a file usually around 1MB) and "Shell" folder and a couple of folders "en-US" but can as well be "de-DE" for example. Move this folder to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and then run styleselector or tuneup styler to apply it . You can also patch your system files to choose visual styles from windows but since you are a beginner i don't recommmend messing with visual styles yet
