Credits:
Vishal Gupta for his core theme, SevenVG
mazzard for his various suggestions.
peterrollar for his encouraging comments and his taskbar idea.
and many more.....


Now the impossible has been done possible!!!!!!
It is the most unique theme in the following ways

The first theme with the correct Taskbar!!!
The first theme with the same caption and toolbar background image!!!
Got the show dektop button on the extreme left(though it doesn't works)
The correct systray icons.
One line Systray icons
we have transparent taskbar for default win7 wallpaper...

Directions to use:

first you need to apply the vistavg or the sevenvg theme(everyone must be familiar with it) and then apply the Sid-Crafty 7 theme.
From properties -> Appearance -> Advances,
change the active window border to 5.

And now see the magic......

WOW! your OS is looking like Windows 7 ;-p



You should not take any image from my deviation or any idea like the caption bar WITHOUT MY PERMISSION

This looks really nice but i have a few questions:

1. What's the difference between the substyles: Bottom Common Taks, Details Pane, and Top common taks

2. How did you find out how to get the 48px taskbar for xp?

I'm asking this because I can't get it to look like how it is in the screenshot.

how did you get the taskbar to be the perfect size and the taskbar buttons to be big?

By the way, good job

1. Have a look at the panes, In Bottom Common Tasks, you'll get the tasks at bottom, instead of the details pane. In the details pane, you'll get the detail view like in 7(so I prefer it). And in the Top common Tasks, you will getthe tasks at the top.

I just don't have anything at the bottom or top. Maybe it's because I'm using findexer?
