I will release a theme/wallpaper pack shortly while I tag it all for easy sorting. I got 300MBs so far!

will post on multiple fileshare sites so stay tuned!

Megaupload link [http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S50UZKNB]

will upload to more later the upload speed on my connection is painful. and my preferred sites only allow 100MB file sizes and they have faster upload speeds.


Put the files where needed on the theme dir. You should know how to do this by now. The wallpapers should go into your C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper folder for easy switching.

I will later on release an auto extracter for each soon.

That's a nice package! Downloaded it and I'm currently using the Water Element msstyle.

For those who don't know how to use the Visual Styles: extract the folder of the style you like to %windir%\Resources\Themes, open the extracted folder, doubleclick the .msstyles file and click Apply to use it!

Oh there is also a utility to bring up the names of the themes in your style selector

becuase it does not list the names of the styles, it just has "aero","windows vista basic" and repeats for every style set instead of listing the name.

(when you go to color selection>open up the classic app. menu>then it will list styles like aero,basic,etc the names for the themes are not listed) so here's the application:


it is called vistadeskhack
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=9edd ... f6e8ebb871

http://www.mediafire.com/?iohin2zyzig

and here's the result:

extract files then right click and run as administrator and there! the names show up on the style selection menu instead of just aero and basic, etc!

Wow thanks for sharing VistaDeskHack! I had a similar thing that did the same thing, but it actually hacked the themeui.dll file or something like that, but this one is much better as it just registers it's own DLL, it will probably work on every version of Windows 6/Vista/2008 - very nice!!!

Downloading you themepack now... kudos for the upload ;) If i may ask, how many are actually Windows Vista themes? I only ask because using XP themes in Vista from my experience ruins my taskbar and startmenu :(

Thanks for this application. Works better than just deleting the styles you aren't using at the moment! :lol:

They are all vista themes. :) Hope you enjoy them! The vista desk hack makes it sooo much easier to select styles!

I basically have a theme for every month and a wallpaper for every week. I do have enough themes on my HD to have one every week and a different wallpaper every day of the year, however I will not upload that many yet. this is pretty much the best of pack.

oh and post those screeenshots!

here's mine! (untill next week LOLz)
