Description
WIP10 version of my long-in-development Windows 7 Classic Theme, which finally has a name - "Aero Classic". This version brings some 16 hours of additional work, including things like scrollbars, fixed colors so that everything matches, breadcrumb buttons, more rebar... so many things I can't list them all.This version includes an updated (matching recolor) start "orb" in the RAR.
Enjoy!
3/19/15: I created a Chrome theme to accompany this today, you can find it here (eyesofaraven.deviantart.com/ar⦠).
Note, there are still a few bugs/etc. - most of the remaining oddities in the theme are unfixable, but they are rare and only show up in very specific cases - this is quite possibly the final version.

Are there any specific installation instructions for this? It doesn't seem to be playing too nicely with my win7 install..

Probably the worst bug is some hardcoded black text that shows up when the blue highlight is on selected stuff. I'm going to look into tweaked shell32 and other DLLs to correct that, since it can't be done in a theme and it really bugs me. xD Otherwise we'd have to make the selects gray or just deal with it.. :/ I'd make them gray, but it would even affect icons and explorer items.... D:
Anyway, this was going to be release 1.0 if these bugs and shit hadn't come up.

can you show me a screenshot of those bugs? I've fixed those sort of bugs years ago by myself on my own themes ^^

Should have said, you can still use the 16x16 icon in the top left of a window (or lack of icon, like explorer) just like in win3x.

@magnus87: With Aero you can't change the button shape. I had had it skinned so that the area by the icon in the top left of a window was grey, but it looked stupid on toolwindows cuz the text was there and it went into the grey area. I considered making the buttons be grey by default, those aren't necessarily final.. As you can see by the guy below, though, it's a subjective matter..
