Description

Here my first release of customize visual style for Vista

-------------------------------------------------------------
For Windows Vista SP1 32 bit & 64 bit

To use custom visual styles you need to patch your system that requires a patched uxtheme.dll
You have several programs which can do this for you.

You can choose either one that works:
1. Uxtheme patch by Rafael to enable themes in Vista -

3. "VistaGlazz" by CodeGazer
[link]

2. Universal Uxtheme Patcher for SP1 & SP2 by cclloyd9785
[link]

4. Or you could use an in-memory patch such as the free UxStyle Core
[link]

Copy both 'VioBlack.theme' and 'VioBlack' folder found in 'Theme' folder, to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\ and copy the wallpapers to C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper

Apply theme via 'Right click your desktop > Personalize > Theme > choose 'VioBlack' > Ok'

Or you can change the visual style by clicking VioBlack.msstyle file, or 'Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance\

The wallpapers included dimension of 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200 and 1900x1200 which can be found in 'Wallpaper' folder. Actually, the wallpaper is not my work. I just change the color. Its courtesy of PsdGraphic.com for windows 7 wallpaper.

For easy install, you can download from here [link]

Thank you for using.

This looks purple...why is it called VioBlack? :) A black one would be nice since I'm a guy!
