SteelFlash Final by ~Steel89 Vista based skins are plentiful to come by but this one is an exception. Steel89 has obviously put a lot of work into this awesome pack containing many skins and managed to actually create a theme that looks like it could be a brand new and improved Vista ;-)

:bulletred: Misc F.A.Q. [Important]

To download the file, click on the Download button on the top-left of the page.
To open the .rar archive, us a zip program like winRAR: [link]
The visual style is perfectly compatible with both versions of vista, x86 (32bit) and x64 (64bit) SP1 and SP2, but it is not been tested on the SP0.
If you have Windows Vista 64bit SP1 and want to use SteelFlash Final (2008 version) please download this package: [link]

Before use this visual style
- Make sure you have rightly patched your system with the uxtheme patches or vistaglazz.
- If you want to manually patch your system , follow this guide [link] and use these files You can find them here: [link]
- If you want to automatically patch your system, use vistaglazz: [link] (re-patch if you updated from SP1 to SP2)
- If you have Windows Vista SP2, you can also use this patch: [link]
I didn't tried it but thanks to ~cclloyd9785 for the submission.

To use a Patcher, place it where the visual style is located (C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\SteelFlash 100k\) and run it as administrator.

If you want to use the smaller taskbar instead of the original, follow these passages:
-Rename the "steelflash 100k.msstyles" to something like "steelflash 100k-copy.msstyles"
-Rename the "steelflash 100k normal button.msstyles" to "steelflash 100k.msstyles"
-Apply one of the .theme files on the \themes\ folder

To increase the size of the quick launch buttons, do that: ([link])
- Right click on a empty area of the taskbar.
- Click Lock the Taskbar to uncheck it.
- Right click on a empty area of the Quick Launch area between the dotted bars and the icons.
- Click View and click on either Small Icons or Large Icons to check the icon size you want.

Semplicemente il miglior tema per Windows Vista che sia mai esistito. Mi viene solo ora di scrivere una critica (in senso positivo), perchè, dopo averlo usato per tanto, sono passata a windows 7, ma adesso, avendo di nuovo un PC con vista X64 nuovo di zecca, ho riavuto modo di metterlo su e ho approfittato della Premium Membership per scriverla.
E' senz'altro il mio tema preferito, i colori della taskbar (in stile superbar) e l'effetto "soft" del menu start è fantastico.
Per non parlare poi dell'effetto "glass" sui bottoni attivi, quello mi ha fatto innamorare fin dal primo momento.

Adoro anche la scelta dei colori usati per i pulsanti delle finestre, di colore vetro-neutro, adattabili a qualsiasi wallpaper e della giusta trasparenza, come tutto il tema d'altronde.

Poi il fatto che sia Made In Italy, è il TOP, la ciliegina sulla torta.

Un prodotto 100% Italiano scaricato da una miriade di persone ed apprezzato, che non teme paragoni, di una qualità Impressionante.

Valutazione al 100% Positiva ovviamente.

Questo è il tema perfetto per l'user che vuole il PC "sempre fresco e nuovo" ma desidera anche un tema che non comprometta l'usabilità del pc, cioè buggato, pieno di colori scuri e scritte illeggibili.

E' letteralmente impossibile stancarsi di SteelFlash Final, per la sua semplicità, bellezza, e il suo tocco di stile.

Davvero Complimenti.
