Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Making the looking of the right side of windows (vista) taskbar as possible as mac os x right side of taskbar.
[also included : Adding your country's flag to your windows taskbar.]
My method
a. Download the files included.
b. Please copy the 'Taskbar shortcuts' folder to C:\Taskbar shortcuts [provided C is the main hard disk of your operating sustem]
1. Right clik to your windows [vista] taskbar.Deselect Lock the taskbar.
2. Again Right clik to your windows [vista] taskbar.Select toolbars and check only the Quick Launch.
(also if you dont like to have forexample the native soundvolume, if it is selected, and you want to be replaced by a shortcut that you can change its ico, then: Right clik to your windows [vista] taskbar.Select Properties, on TASKBAR select Quick Launch and on Notification Area select only Hide inactive and also check Clock.)
3. Drag with your mouse the toolbar Quick Launch on the right part of taskbar.[if this not easy, there are some vertical points, please drag them]
4. Make a folder on your hard disk, having inside any kind of shortcuts of important application [for example ' Regional and Language Options','Search', 'Sound Volume' etc. and 2 folders of icons, one with countries's flags and one with your [mac style systray] icons.
5. Drag a shotcut, for example the ' Regional and Language Options'shortcut with your mouse to the toolbar Quick Launch which exist on the right part of taskbar.
Then right clik to the new shortcut you made on taskbar, select properties,change icon and then choose browse and on the file name wright the address that the countries's flags folder exist. For example C:\Taskbar shortcuts\Countries Flags .
6. Then drag the other shortcuts [and replace their icon if you preffer from the folder exist. For example C:\Taskbar shortcuts\icons ]
7. Making the toolbar Quick Launch as big or small you preffer, draging with the mouse. If you want your country's flag to have invisible space right or left of it, drag an 'invisible' folder i made, from the folder exist.
[ For example C:\Taskbar shortcuts ], or if for any reason these not worked drag any empty folder [or if you dont mind a shortcut like my computer or control panel etc] as many times as big the space you want to make.
Then for being invisible this shortcuts on your taskbar make to any of them right clik, for changing their icon select properties,change icon and then choose a not visible icon exist on your %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll .
You can do also this to important applications [make their shortcuts invisible on looking on the toolbar Quick Launch of taskbar], so when your mouse over them on taskbar, the windows baloon explain what application exist to every 'invisible' shortcut, so you will have a very clean look with important applications existing on taskbar.
8. Right clik to your windows [vista] taskbar.Select Lock the taskbar.

if you mean you like to make a new visual style based to original aero, copy the original aero visual style to your desktop , then change the name of aero to all the folders of this visual style exist with a new common name. Then you change code and images. see: Make a VS for Vista - Tutorial [link]
if you mean [RESTORING for] this modification you can safe delete the folder i give you or also you can customize safely the toolbar Quick Launch as you want.THEREis no problem as my modification dont change any system files. thats the success of this modification.

Ofcource there is also flag of Spain [ made on png from buz@icondrawer.com and transported to ico 16x16 by me].
If you mean about the shortcuts, there are originaly copied from windows system so they are automaticaly 'translated' [written] to the language of your vista system you use.
So you can see on Spanish language if the language of your vista system you use is Spanish.
Also if you find or make yourselves better flags of your country or find original mac ico with a flag of your country, that it would be great.
