lack visual themes

I have Aero Basic and about 5 classic themes. Not alot to choose from, who wants classic? lol I cannot change the colours in aero basic so its the grey window borders and black taskbar and start menu and that is all. I like the curves of aero basic but will get bored of the black and grey. Do you think they will change this in the real release? I want lots of themes or at least the ability to change system colours with aero basic. Programs like stylebuilder and windowblinds are extremely popular, I am surprised that MS have not included the ability to change the themes totally.

From what I've heard, a different appearance for Aero Basic is in the makings. I would assume and hope that this will have more options as well. "Beck" wrote in message

Who wants classic? Good question. It seems a lot of XP users prefer Classic (a/k/a: Butt Ugly Windows 9x look).
Right now Vista has far more options for nice theming than XP (which is severely lacking).

I'd like lots of color options in Aero Basic and Glass. In particular I'd like to be able to change the color schemes for widgets (sort of like you can do in Win 9X).

I don't think it does have more options. I just think it is laid out in a way that it seems more. Look at the Basic Aero, you cannot change the colour of the taskbar or window borders. Yes you can change the inside of windows but you could in XP anyway.

I believe Stardock will be releasing a Vista version of their Windowblinds program, probably after the final release of Vista. I was into customizing the look of Windows XP and for a long time and tried to make it look as much as possible like OS X. Then, after seeing what the Aero Glass looked like to make XP look and act like Vista as much as possible. Now that I am running the real Windows Vista, I find myself more than happy with the way Vista looks with the Aero Glass and how it works.
