I like most of krststzar's themes, especially the vista ones because no one makes them. All his themes take up a lot of RAM. With all the plugins included, Aston takes 20 MB while for other themes it takes less than 10. I hope someone comes up with a vista theme consuming less RAM. Otherwise this theme is excellent.

@ Krstatzar Ok, but is there no other way to make this consume less RAM? Because the normal windows explorer itself takes that much RAM.... And what is that small window like thing shown in the preview( the thing that looks like the playlist)? I didnt get it when i applied the theme Thanx
Date:01.19.2007 Name:krstatzar Rate:
2 Nikhill Little window is playlist for astamp plugin but I didn`t have place for show playlist button so you need to rightclick over astamp plugin skin and select show playlist in order to see it

The theme is perfect.However i LogOff a small error blinks (says that a program "failed to iniatilize") but so faster that i couldnt see which is this program.It appears only on this aston theme and another Vista theme.Where's the problem?In the Plug-ins maybe?That occur when i try to LogOff,Restart,Switch,Shutdown or Hybernate my system.
What should I do?Sorry for the incovience

The only thing I have a small problem with is trying to run the help you have for download. When I run it, it comes up with page could not be displayed.
Date:01.23.2007 Name:Chasbo Rate:10
Very well done. I love the plugins. I go between using Aston Shell and Stardock products. There's some very nice DesktopX Vista themes available and I can assure you that they use a lot more RAM than this one! I give this theme a 10.

How to install the theme?
Date:01.27.2007 Name: Rate:
Maverick:
when you download the theme it should either be a zip file or an ATZ file. If it is a zip, unzip it and double click the atz file that was inside. If it is an atz, just double click that. This will bring up the theme wizard and you are to click "Ok"

Hey the theme is awesome but m facing only one problem. i am unable to play music using music player of this theme how to setup this player how can i play the music in the player provided on desktop along with the theme please some one help me out...
Date:01.29.2007 Name:krstatzar Rate:
Thank you all :) 2 Nithin About the player , astamp plugin is not player itself you can use it with winamp or WMP just set the path to your player under plugin settings and give it a try :)

I think the theme is great, however if I remove the Items category, all categories disappear and I have to reload the theme again. The other thing is if I add elements to the categories, sometimes the elements disappear and no elements appear in a drop down nor can you add any new elements (nothing happens). Any help on this would be great as I really really love the theme, btw I'm an Aston newb. Kodos to you Krstatzar

Great work!
How about making this theme in 1920*1200 and 2048*1536?
How do I get rid of that transparent black vertical bar which the clock, player and stuff is placed upon. If I knew, I could make this theme into those resolutions I use for the most part.

I love this but I went in the options and clicked "arrange icons by name" and quite a few of the "elements" were thrown around to random spots (even off the screen) I got my icons back but I'm still missing the windows sign (start button) and a few of the things that show how much ram you're using and such. Please help;(

krstatzar, you found the one thing that would make me change from your Vista theme. A newer version of the Vista theme! Great work, as always.

Would you make one without all of the extra stuff? most of the plug-ins did not work. Other than that, very good job.
Date:02.24.2007 Name:Darrel Rate:9
Great theme.
One problem - I am also getting an error about a device failing to initialize when logging off or shutting down with this theme. Not with any others. I see someone else asked the same question ealier. Could someone address it?
Also, how do you move the transparent black bar? I have a wide screen. I couldn't find an appropriate x offset setting in plugins.rc..

Awesome theme, beats anything available for Windowblinds, which I used before, and it works really well in conjunction with that program. One problem. The main menu won't show up. I can't figure it out mostly because I'm a newb, but help would be appreciated.

This is the best theme i downloaded, but i have some problems with it. First, in resolution 1024*768 i dont see top panel (and pics from plugins settings are not in the package)!!! Second, font for rainlendar is too big, so the background for it is too small!!! Oh, yea, there is no icons for HDD in DeskEx plugins!!! Please help me, because this is my favourite theme ;D

All the stuff you see on the screenshot are included you just need to instal and enable all the plugins that are needed.

pluses: + glamorous look + necessary resources are monitored in resource monitor + allocated disk space indicator + necessary elements in side panels + volume indicator and "Mute" switcher are in good places (but could be better)
minuses: - icons on the desktop can't have same sizes (at least author of the theme could make an option to shrink all icons to the same size) - icons not for all hard drives are shown in Aston DiskEx plugin (in my case - only drives from slave HDD and none from master) - Aston RecycleBinEx plugin doesn't have button/icon to clean bin; - resource monitor doesn't monitor VPN connection data IO (only LAN) - icons of three main elements of the desktop (My computer, Contorl Panel & My documents) have bigger size, than any icon I placed on the desktop, so they "stand out of the crowd" and dekstop doesn't look beautiful - some subscriptions of top panel's elements are shown in background instead of foreground and also have different icons, so they don't look the same and as a result - beautiful; can somebody explain what this panel is for except of presenting 6 downfalling menus?; Google Search panel is originally very narrow, so I had to shrink it manually to normal size; - icons on the big right panel cannot be fixed and I could accidently move them out of the panel while pressing on some element; - AstAmp 1.9.3 plugin: can not change size of playlist; can not delete items and change their order in playlist; - zVolume plugin could be placed to the left side of the clock in systray instead of placing on the big right panel; or the big right panel's "always on top" option doesn't work;
Although this is the best theme I've found on this site for 15 minutes; May be some minuses exists because I have trial version...
Thank you for a good theme! Boris.
