You will find it here mate,
:: ThaImpact VS - 7 Version :: by ~DjabyTown on deviantART

and here is the Download



Safeguard:
If you follow the process going forward correctly you will not use system restore or the backup, But PLEASE BACKUP NOW and Update System Restore
BETTER TO SAFE THAN SORRY, it would help if you had a copy of your operating system on a disc, because if you need to use system restore or your backup, you can only access it from your disc.

How to Take ownership
On each file within your system before replace with new ones you will need to take ownership, Right click\Properties\Security Tab\Advanced Button\Owner Tab\Edit Button\high-lite administrators\ apply, you have just taken owner ship, now high-lite user name and apply, just in case.

How To Load Theme
1) load this first,
http://uxstyle.com/builds/UxStyle_Core_jul13_bits.zip, with this you do not need to worry about the folder name Uxtheme which contains, themeservice.dll, themeui.dll and uxtheme.dll.

2)copy the following files into c:\Windows\System32, ExplorerFrame.dll and Shell32.dll You must take ownership of exciting file before you can do this.

3)copy the following file into c:\Windows, Explorer.exe You must take ownership of exciting file before you can do this.

4)copy the following folder and files into c:\Windows\Resource\Theme,Thaimpact folder and thaimpact.theme file.

5) Reboot

6)If you can not see Thaimpact in personalise , go into c:\Windows\Resource\Theme and double click thaimpact.theme, then it will start working.

hope this helps

You will need to edit the image for it in the Areo.msstyle theme file.

Please explain me how can I do that.

If you have taken ownership of all the files including explorer.exe, rename name your orginal files ExplorerFrame.dll.org and Shell32.dll.org then paste the new files into same folder, now do the same with explore.exe, it should look like this.




Complete the steps above and you should be right to go.

cheers

In Restorator 2007 trial I've changed 830.png from aero.msstyle, replaced, but after reboot aero refuses to run, it is just classic mode.
