I've seen that and from a promo video I saw a while ago it does its fnacy stuff with vector graphics. So it's basically an OS made in flash... although I've never found many PC's that can play detailed flash full screen at a viewable framerate.DJGM wrote:

Does anyone know if the black start bar style (as seen in the screenshot above) is available as a theme for download in the same way as Royale was (i.e. without a skinning program)?

is there any themes avaiable without skinning? would like a new one.

In short, no. Your best option is probably softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Longhorn-Transformation-Pack-To-the-Ultimate-Transforming.shtml, it's specifically for Aero (the black theme), and it's easy to install/uninstall.Asa wrote:Does anyone know if the black start bar style (as seen in the screenshot above) is available as a theme for download in the same way as Royale was (i.e. without a skinning program)?

You will most likely find it above the left SHIFT button. Dunno about other keyboards but mine's on the left of the A key.

looks really out of place on a third party Windows XP theme that's supposed to mimic the look of Windows Longhorn/Vista!

I have just installed Windows Vista Beta 1 and the following problems arose already...
It can no longer communicate with my Samsung laser printer
The DVD-RW drive now is recognized as a CD-RW
Office 2003 won't install
Nor will Adobe 7
It doesn't like Java neither.
Gonna roll back now to XP!
