Vista Reflectionsby ~counteralchemist

Customization / Skins & Themes / Windows Vista Utilities / Visual Styles

Vista Reflections
~counteralchemist

I. Overview

I am very happy to release my very first visual style for Windows Vista! This visual style features glasslike elements in Windows Aero and metallic elements in Windows Vista Basic.

It also features a new shell style and 2 Sidebar Styler skins. A variation of Vista Reflections labeled “Remove Text Glow on Max” is also included in the pack. I hope you enjoy using this visual style as much as I enjoyed making it!

Please

Vista Reflections if you like it!

II. Requirements

If you have not patched your system files or installed Windows Sidebar Styler, you can refer to a Microsoft Word Document included in the Vista Reflections package named "Information".

III. Legal Information

Windows Vista resources in the visual style are copyright of Microsoft Corporation. They are only included in the pack for customization purposes.

The shell style in the pack was made using a shell style template created by Lost Soul.

Other resources and pictures in the pack are copyright of counteralchemist. Please do not redistribute or edit them without my permission.

Stay tuned for future projects and updates in my deviantART page! I would really appreciate your comments, suggestions, and bug reports!

I'm pretty sure you can patch the visual style to enable glass on Vista Home Basic. I haven't actually tried it though.
