Credits:
Vishal Gupta for his core theme, SevenVG
mazzard for his various suggestions.
peterrollar for his encouraging comments and his taskbar idea.
and many more.....
Now the impossible has been done possible!!!!!!
It is the most unique theme in the following ways
The first theme with the correct Taskbar!!!
The first theme with the same caption and toolbar background image!!!
Got the show dektop button on the extreme left(though it doesn't works)
The correct systray icons.
One line Systray icons
we have transparent taskbar for default win7 wallpaper...
Directions to use:
first you need to apply the vistavg or the sevenvg theme(everyone must be familiar with it) and then apply the Sid-Crafty 7 theme.
From properties -> Appearance -> Advances,
change the active window border to 5.
And now see the magic......
WOW! your OS is looking like Windows 7 ;-p
You should not take any image from my deviation or any idea like the caption bar WITHOUT MY PERMISSION

I did that when i first time saw it on win 7 with tuneup,but that only make buttons less width and they remain slim when i use large quicklunch icons,what i mean is how to get taskbar buttons to be big like on his screenshot,if there is any chance?

Yurikenobi, first unlock the taskbar and then right click at the gripper which appears. Select the first item nn the menu and selectsmall icons
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Hmm, but that makes the icons as small as ever. Nothing W7-like at all.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
ok you can then return back to 32x icons, i've made the update now.

This looks really nice but i have a few questions:
1. What's the difference between the substyles: Bottom Common Taks, Details Pane, and Top common taks
2. How did you find out how to get the 48px taskbar for xp?
๐: 0 โฉ: 3
1. Have a look at the panes, In Bottom Common Tasks, you'll get the tasks at bottom, instead of the details pane. In the details pane, you'll get the detail view like in 7(so I prefer it). And in the Top common Tasks, you will get the tasks at the top.
2.Sorry! That's the secret and the amazing part.

I just don't have anything at the bottom or top. Maybe it's because I'm using findexer?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Haran, it has nothing to do with findexer, make sure that there is a shell folder where you extracted the theme.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I got it working- it's because I had "show common tasks in folder" disabled but I can't get top common tasks to work. Any ideas. The other 2 work perfectly.
