Any .theme's for Vista out there?

Any one know of any themes out there made for Vista without having to use a 3rd party program. Vista has the option if picking themes that you download. I just can find any with a .theme extension. Any locations would be nice.

Thank you,
Shawn

Been searching for an hour and I can't find anything other than themes to
make XP look like Vista. Or purported themes for Vista that don't work.

So much for "greater options for customizing the look ..."

This was posted before on this newsgroup I found it for you:

Download the following patch to enable the themeing engine of vista to
load unsigned themes (non Microsoft and NOT supported by MS)

http://www.codegazer.com/vistaglazz.htm


where you can find new themes made for vista:

scroll down http://keznews.com/2664_Themes_for_Windows_Vista

and here (there are many but you have to look through them to find the ones
made specifically for vista)

That was a helpful reply & appreciated.

The VistaGlazz program is kinda cool.

Installing any of the themes I have found (not many) is making my brain hurt
-and I am generally pretty comfortable modding things, etc.

My overall impression so far is that modifying Vista themes
is kinda, you know ... hard.
