Description

InTime Applications proudly presents:
:spotlight-left: Aero Xtreme 7 VS2 :spotlight-right:

for Windows 7 RC (build 7100)
(should also work with previous builds)

:liquisoft: Xtreme transparency to let your wallpapers shine through! :liquisoft:

Description:
This VS changes the taskbar transparency in Windows 7 to match the normal and maximized frames transparency levels like it was in build 7000. It works with all Windows 7 colors, in all screen positions (bottom, top, right, left) and for large and small icons.

The taskbar images have been carefully edited so that all parts of the taskbar match flawlessly while maintaining perfect Aero lines.

Changelog for build 7100:
Updated Thursday, May 1, 2009
:new: Adjusted the 'Show Desktop' button transparency to match the other parts of the taskbar
:new: Added transparency to the taskbar thumbnail previews (for vertical and horizontal taskbar positions)
:new: Free Universal UXTheme Patch has been updated and should now work with x86 and x64 systems.

UXTheme Patch
You must patch your Windows 7 UXTheme files to use Aero Xtreme 7 VS. Aero Xtreme 7 includes a free Universal UXTheme Patching utility. More information on patching your UXTheme files can be found in the Readme.txt file included in the download.

A big thanks to GioHero [link] for the UXTheme Patch link!

Theme Pack:
:new: New 'Xtreme Beauty of Nature Theme Pack' included in the download (photos by Tiffany and Dave).

How to use Aero Xtreme 7 with the Theme Pack:
Patch your UXTheme, copy the Visual Style and theme to "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes" and apply the theme by clicking on the 'Xtreme Beauty of Nature.themepack' file. The theme won't work if Aero Xtreme is not the active VS. And yes you can use the VS without the theme.

Testing:
To test Aero Xtreme 7, move your taskbar to the top and maximize a window to compare the transparency and Aero lines.

Aero Xtreme 7 VS is based on the original Aero style by Microsoft and is distributed free for personal use only.

Favorites:
If ever the taskbar is not updated by the time Windows 7 is officially released, this might be a good visual style to keep in mind especially if you like everything else about 7. So don't forget to add this deviation to your favorites :+fav:


Comments are welcomed and much appreciated!

Thanks for trying Aero Xtreme 7 VS,
