too complicated, the new version of VistaGlazz can do this in one click ;) :)
:iconrebd0mine:
If this is too complicated, then you're a retard.
:iconsheppii:
hey, relax, i don't say it is complicated for me, but with VistaGlazz it's the easiest way without any rename and changing permissions ;)
:iconretoocs:
Do you guys have issue, when installing any update from microsoft and after rebooting theme crash (go to classic theme)? I have this problem, i cannot install any update or if i install my theme is no more working (just windows stock aero theme works) and i must use system restore to restore my theme.
:iconjellygoop:
No idea what VistaGlazz is but it probably does the same exact thing as listed above while hogging resources.
:iconsheppii:
yes, something like that :)
:iconrebd0mine:
I will always rather do such stuff like this my self and make sure i do it with the right version.. I dont know if VistaGlazz is updated for SP1.
:iconfugnut:
you install a program, open said program, click on patch files, it patches in two seconds, you reboot and its patched and ready for tweaking, said program can be uninstalled if wanted... ya lots of resource hogging!
