Latoyce RC1.b by ~X3remes on deviantART

I had a bit of a go at porting this theme to Windows 7, some things were not so easy but this is how it looks so far, so tell me what you think, if you want me to make another start menu I can do that as well but I didn't get that far yet.

Also some things were not possible to do so I have improvised in a few places.

The guide is trial and error, that's how I do it.

I have been using Restorator and Photoshop.

Is there a guide where I could get info on which images I would replace to make custom themes

As Mr Grim said you need to play with photoshop to create your on images, you need Restorator to see into the files, so that you learn where all the images are, and look at other forums for tut, even if you do not need it, try it so you know, more you learn the easier it gets, and i am no expert.

But if have question ask, some will know.

Longhorn Air7 beta by ~alkhan on deviantART

You can use any *.theme or *.themepack
but you shouldn't replace any system files(only in case if they ARE for a x64 system)

Is there any chance of porting those system files to x64

Well here it is, within this zip file is x64,

Now this is not mind, i have only made it so you can load onto x64.

Mate, that is a vista orb and not a Windows 7, you need to make sure that the orb is transparent,
