+1, why not just change the color scheme if you want black?


Why don't you read what I'm asking? I'm not asking about changing the "color scheme" of Aero to black. I'm asking about a black or dark SHELLSTYLE, it's not my fault people are posting visual styles when I asked for a shellstyle.

For educational purposes:

Anyone who wants to try this theme should make a restore point first and also this heme was made for build 7068 and the themes didn't work for me and I think it may be for x86 only, did manage to get those nice blue folders but then it would not start after reboot and had to use the system restore.

Worked fine for me, but I'm x86. These themes tend to be 32 or 64bit specific as they replace system dlls.

I couldnt get this to work, i am using the "universal theme patcher" I guess it doesnt work for 7RC.

For those trying it on the 64bit versions of Windows 7, remember that there may be *duplicate* files in different locations - My guess is that you may need to edit *both* or even 3 sets of files before it works....

I for one hand was looking more for something like this...

Fleur-de-lys by ~dynacord on deviantART

I've used it in my Windows Vista and i just loved it.

Whoa....that's going all the way. I don't think i could get used to that and I like that sort of stuff. Pretty cool though. Thanks for the options. I wish Windows had options like these in the "themes" as an option. That would be great.

Yes i agree it should have too, i tend to prefer dark themes because i usually stay really late on my PC with very low light and all the white hurts my eyes. :P
