I know in Windows XP it was not a trivial exercise to create your own themes. Is this task easier in Windows 7? And if so, what is involved?

If you actually meant hacking .msstyle files, it's just as hard in Windows 7. I think you will need to open the aero.msstyle file up using XN Resource Editor and modify the files in Photoshop. Or you could modify a custom theme that somebody else has made. You can find them, and other people who have done this, on Deviantart.
Personally, I don't think many amateur themes are ever going to look as good as the default Aero styles, although there may be some good ones that are just slightly altered. |
