Worse is an understatment, the classic theme in Vista looks horrible. The
new Vista parts of the interface clash with the old look and many parts
don't even line up or fit properly. Text gets cut off, icons are jammed up
into corners way out of their proper position, and many dialogs are solid
white instead of gray. The whole thing looks like an amateur skinners
unfinished attempt to make a classic theme for Windowblinds. It really is
terrible and it doesn't look like they care so it will probably stay that
way.

I know what you mean. I hate how the files and folders light up when you
hover your mouse over them, makes it very hard at least for me to work with
it. Files should ONLY be highlighted when they are selected, this is a
terrible design decision. Then there are all the legacy folders that aren't
really folders but junctions that point to the real folders. Supposedly it's
for backwards compatibility with XP but in reality it just makes for a big
confusing mess. Don't even get me started on the junctions that point back
to themselves so they just go on forever.

They call it eye candy and most I can see is black. They release it in the
winter, people might get depressed.
New Start-button looks exactly like one of those ugly Feather Linux icons.
Who designed this stuff?? I thought they had some money at Redmond. I guess
Stylish Steve drew it all by himself.

Well, it's all about what's under the hood...

Why are you forcing yourself to use it?

"holy cow"
If you consider cows 'holy', are you Indian?

If you don't like it don't use it. There are alternatives.

I switched over to "Classic" and didn't experience the issues you described.
Without more details it is hard to know. Can you post more screenshots?

Lawd have mercy, keep shilling the same old tired line.

Just because some offer criticism- even harsh criticism-
doesn't mean they don't want to use Vista.

It's the same simple minded mentality of,
"Your either with us, or against us."

The OP wasn't asking a question, making suggestions about how to do things
better, but merely stating they don't like Vista and some other people
agree. My comment was valid in that context. If you don't like something
don't use it. There are alternatives.

Constructive criticism is great, but there was none in the original post,
only a rant.

I like the classic. In fact, im using it now...
