Re: Media centre Style

The theme Is called Windows 'Royale'. Stardock is a program that installed themes for you it is s*** and costs money unless you patch it illegally. All you need the patched uxtheme.dll and then get hold of the *.mstyles file and put it in C:\Windows\resources\themes.

I find vista pretty good performance wise. It loooooves more RAM. Rather than XP which leaves your RAM idle Vista uses it to preload frequently used programs.
