After getting lot of demand for XP port of my "Vista Black Theme for Windows Vista", I'm glad to announce my new XP theme "VistaVG Black".

ABOUT:
=======

Its an update over my previous XP theme "VistaVG Ultimate":

I have changed Startmenu, titlebar, buttons and a few other things in this theme.

HOW TO USE:
============

1. In the downloaded pack, you'll get 2 folders:

=> Fonts (This folder contains Segoe UI fonts required for the theme. Copy them to "%windir%\Fonts" folder.)
=> Theme (This folder contains the main theme.)

2. Copy all contents in "Theme" folder to "%windir%\Resources\Themes\" folder.

3. Now you can set the theme using Desktop Properties.

4. Also make sure you have patched the "uxtheme.dll" file to allow 3rd party visual styles, if its not patched, then download and run the UXtheme Patcher from here:

I hope you all will like this theme as you liked all my previous themes.
Please give your valuable feedbacks.

Please don't release/distribute modified versions of my theme without getting my permission.

Regards

I'm already using Vista which I got in my TechNet subscription. ;-)

I made this theme for XP users.

I think it's great! I've been looking for a real black theme to match the WMP 11 styled skin for days. Thanks for putting the time into it.
