Windows Aero Red for XP WindowBlinds 6.0 only!

Styler program: [link]
Use with onlyBluebar skin: [link]

Original Idea and theme by Vistamen, all credits to him. This is a edit of his style, added perfect aero glass frame fixed clear taskbar to normal taskbar. And fixed context menu item background.

Not to use as default theme! Because all windows will be with the fake navigation bar, I recommend a per-application setting in WindowBlinds: open wbconfig, then go to settings > Change the look of app, then add a per application setting, browse to a exe you want to be skinned with this theme (for example explorer: C:\Windows\explorer.exe), then select to use a specified skin, and set it to use Windows Aero. Save changes and restart explorer. From now on only explorer apps will be skinned, other applications like word, paint will be normal (WhiteFlame as default recommended). You can do the same with jake's apps: Games Explorer [link] and control panel which will be released soon.

Bugs:
When maximized it will go buggy
All explorer elements will be skinned - including taskbar settings, copy\move\delete dialogs etc.
No navigation*

For solving navigation problems in explorer use Windows Aero Glass Styler toolbar.

For solving maximize bug, use WindowFX "Maximize to size" tool, (perfect for 1024x768 res: Width 1024, Height 710, Y cord - 30.) Though, you will have to add all fullcscreen apps to exclusion setting...

I'm planning on releasing all 6 vista colors for XP:

Graphite, Blue, Red, Orange, Pink and frost.

Default color: [link]
Teal Color: [link]

Enjoy!
