Note that this *is* still a BETA, veerryyy close to finalE, with just a few tidbits left to fix up.
For conveniance I’ve included all files required in the .rar
Thanks to UKIntel for a basic knowledge of theming / HEXing
Thanks to Micro$oft for making us buy Vista!

Installation
========
If you’ve already hacked vista correctly and just want the theme skip to step 3.
——————————-
1) Patch UXtheme.dll file
Install Vista Glazz - [link]
(patches UXtheme.dll automatically)
**MUST reboot after patching**
———————————————————–
2) Desk.cpl hack (optional, but recommended)
Makes the name of the theme appear in the classic appearance properties listbox to help identify which theme is which, rather than a list of themes the just say “Windows Aero”
Navigate to ‘Step 3′ > ‘Working theme names’ > ‘App’ > ‘VistaDeskHack_1.1′
And then run ‘DeskHack_Install.cmd’
——————-
3) Theme copy
Copy the ‘Aero² BETA’ folder directly into the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
directory.
————————
4) Apply the theme
Either:
Double click the ‘Aero² BETA.msstyles’ file
OR
Right-click the desktop > ‘ersonalize’ > ‘Window Color and Appearance’
> ‘Open classic appearance properties for more color options’
And then select the theme from the listbox and click Apply/OK.
