My fav visual style on Windows - areao4

Here we go again! Let's see some creepy content on the site. First of all, it's gonna be a review, or something... My fav one is the areao4.2 by *heylove. I try to keep my desk clean, and minimalistic. Always hated icons, but never changed them. There's only reason: I can't find any applicaton so fast if their icons are changed. The point was to turn the workplace the biggest possible, and with this style, it works, and also looks cool! Yeah, it's not a glossy one, but who cares? Did you see Ubuntu with Beryl? And Vista? Those flishy-flashy styles? Damn, so disgusting! These stuff looks useful but this is not the truth.



Follow the points to change your desk's availability to the maximum:

1. use areao4.2 visual style
2. use a clean wallpaper which doesn't contain too much... erm.. stuff you know :D
3. use your FULLY CLEAN desktop as a temporary folder
4. store your shortcuts at the start menu
5. turn on "Clear Type" effects, its even looks great on CRTs too
6. change your mouse cursor to black
7. and of course use Tahoma as default font.


Maybe you have to patch your Windows before using this theme. All you have to do is replace the "uxtheme.dll" at \windows\system32\ and \windows\system32\dllcache.
Download the patch here.
The easiest way to replace this to grab a free Ubuntu Linux Live CD from Ubuntu's website burn the ISO, and boot with it. You can easily write your NTFS partition. Replace the two DLLs, reboot to Windows, copy the whole theme folder to your \windows\resoures\ folder, open the msstyle file with double click, and simply apply.
