Vista aero theme for vista basic

As far as I know, Vista Basic isn't capable of having the aero look. I don't think it has the required drivers to support transparency.

Yeh, with WindowBlinds!

I don't have Vista Basic by the way, I have Vista Home Premium.

The arrow theme is pretty good though...

Ok...then why did you ask about Vista Basic? Makes it a bit impossible to try to help when you are asking about something that isn't even what you're using or after.

Sorry. I didn't say it right. I have Vista Home Premium, but a crapy graphics card. I want aero. I have tried the different reg tweaks to no avail.

So I am thinking of buying WindowBlinds ($20 compared to over $300 for a new card), but I won't buy it unless there is a theme out there that will make it look exactly like aero.

Thanks in advanced,

As I said, without the right drivers (DWWM) you won't be able to get transparency even with Windowblinds. Aero must be enabled in order to do that, no DWWM = no aero.

Oh. Okay.

Well I don't really care all that much about transparency (It does work though, with vystal at least), how about a non transparent vista aero theme?

you can get a graphics card by Nvidia or whatever for under 100$ with 256 ram that will support Aero a 72$ card will work such as one of the Nvidia 600's.you don't need a 300$ card to get Aero.

Under $20?

How about that?

That is what is good about windowblinds...

You know something, I'm confused. In another one of your topics you were having a hard time uninstalling windowblinds and you said you were on Vista Ultimate. Now you're saying your on Home Premium (after first saying you were on Basic) and now want to use wb to make it look aero?

3 different vista on 1 pc? and no WDDM..
Buy just one Vista + upgrade your graphics card (cheaper).

I have Windows Vista Home Premium on a computer with a really bad graphics card.

I have Windows Vista Ultimate on my main computer with a fairly good graphics card.

I have Windows XP on my laptop.

Ok, I'm having the same problem.

I have Vista Ultimate on my Laptop.

I can't get the Aero theme. Also no transparent look with (original) Windowblinds 5.5.

BUT in XP i was able to get the transparent look. Why is it possible that it works in XP but not in Vista?

I am going to create a theme, today someone gave me a good name for it, AeroSic.

I am going to create it using ResHacker, as SkinStudio vista version isn't out yet. It works on vista, but it isn't the vista version, it is the XP version...
