Requirements
Windows XP SP3 (not tested with SP2)
WindowBlinds 6.4/7.x
.net Frameworks 3.5 for Show Desktop

Introducing the first and only XP WB Aero skin in the world to have Windows 7 style text caption glow and multi-layer frames with fixed corner glow!

Although this update does not bring any changes to the actual WBA, with the capability to visually see what user picture you are selecting, Pre RC2v6 qualifies as a major update! Get it now, you will love it!

By removing all of the user picture quick installers, file size as been reduced by about 10 MB!

IMPORTANT: Please note that the WB Splash Screen still says RC instead of Pre RC2.

About the installers...
The setup process will correctly install Aero Xtreme 7 XP regardless of the drive and folder structure on your system. It will automatically detect the correct folder. If you have any trouble with the new installers, please let me know.

NOTE: The installer will be improved in RC2. I am currently exploring how to implement combo box value lists for User Pictures and check boxes for optional features.

Includes Show Desktop 1.041
The new installer will now setup Show Desktop for you so that it automatically runs on system startup. You can download the most recent version of Show Desktop here [link]

NOTE: For Windows 7 users, Show Desktop adds the option to minimize all windows instead of showing the desktop. Aeor Xtreme for Windows 7 is coming soon which will allow Show Desktop to integrate seamlessly with Windows 7.

Show Desktop is exclusive to Aero Xtreme 7 XP. Do not package this utility with your skin. Simply provide a link to the official 'Show Desktop' page [link] by CeIIular.

BASE SKIN: Aero Xtreme 7 XP is based on AeroTime by InTime69 [link] which was originally based on Aero Style by Windows X. Permission was granted by Windows X to use his WB theme as the base skin for AeroTime. Many thanks! Here's the [link] to Windows X Live.

LEGAL: Windows 7 images captured in this skin are the property of Microsoft® Corporation. Absolutely no images were extracted from Windows 7 Aero style. Use this skin for personal use only.

PERMISSIONS: Do not use any of the images found in this skin without my permission. A multi-stage process is used to capture perfect aeroshots and a lot of time is required to achieve this. I also had to purchase several applications and utilities to help me capture perfect aeroshots. Excluding Start Menu user pictures [link] , all Aero images will remain exclusive to InTime Applications until Aero Xtreme 7 XP reaches it's final stages at which time permissions will be re-evaluated.
