TRANSPARENCY Theme by ~lebreton ©[link]
_______________________________ _______________________________

This pack has been achieved with different deviant and I thank them for them job : thanks to you guys.
I've made this pack to give another experience of Micosoft Windows Vista with Aero. That's why it names
Transparency : I've regrouped and modified some skin and one theme that was the most transparency possible.
So I hope you will like this pack.



HOW TO INSTALL THE PACK : (you can install what you want but all the pack is better ^^)
_________________________

Before use this theme, you have to patch tree files : shsvcs.dll, themeui.dll and uxtheme.dll
which are in %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.
The patched files are in the folder Patch\SP1 (or non-SP1) folder in this pack.

This is for the Vista's SP1 users :
__________________________

To use those files you have to disable the UAC and reboot.
Next go to System32 and search the file shsvcs.dll, right click on it and choose Properties.
In Security Tab, click on Advance>Owner Tab>Edit, then highlight your account name and click Ok.
Return to Security Tab and click on Edit button, then for each group or users check Total Control
and click on OK and close shsvcs.dll properties.
Next rename shsvcs.dll to shsvcs.old to save original file if there's a problem.
Copy the shsvcs.dll patched file and paste it in System32 folder.
Then do this modification for themeui.dll and uxtheme.dll
It's the same manip for browseui.dll and ieframe.dll

Apply the theme :
______________

Copy the folder Theme which is present in the pack.
Next go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ and paste this folder.
Then you have to rename the folder in BlueMonkey : windows will not reconize the theme if you haven't
done this step.
So, on your desktop, right click=>Customisation=>Appearence=>Open old windows (blue link)=>choose the
with a gray background and Apply.
You can choose from to theme : in fact there's just the start button that change ^^ just rename BlueMonkey II
to BlueMonkey and you'll have the second start button ^^

Skin :
____

To add a skin, before you have to install different software : ObjectDock and LogonStudio Vista are in
the folder Software, doubleclick on the software that you want (install the both it's better I think)
After the software are install you have to copy and paste the skins :
-for ObjectDock copy the skin Folder in C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Backgrounds\Non-Tabbed
and icons for ObjectDock, copy the icon folder in C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Bundled Images

-for LogonStudio Vista you just have to double click on the skin, it will install automaticaly

Wallpaper :
_________

Choose between four wallpaper or yours.

Icons :
_____

In the folder Icons you'll find four icons to customise your desktop.





So I hope all will work normaly

Special thanks to :
