    Here you go download the zip and extract it to your desktop and open the folder untell you see (screenshot) then put both 1 Glutton folder and 1 Glutton.theme file in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

    Thank you! That helps a ton. It is now much easier to identify which window is active.

    There is a small amount if tweaking I would do to it though. I would like it to have a thin, lighter color border when clicked on such as in vista. Is it possible to do this?

    Here is a pic of how it looks now, compared to the one in vista.

    Also, is it possible to simply take the image files from the vista buttons and use them? It would be great if I could use that for both selected and non-selected items.

    The mod you made for me is actually really great. Once I lightened up my color scheme a bit, it's pretty much exactly what I wanted. Thank you once again

    If you have a vista aero.msstyles I could try it.

    Cool, You're Welcome, I played around with them and they are touchy.
