DESCRIPTION
Nightrium Blue is a very dark blue version of the black Win7 Basic theme Nightrium [link] - for those of us who are starting to find the endless black themes a bit lacking in color
Also available in green [link] and red [link] .
INSTALLATION
Installation does NOT require replacing aero.msstyles, and is easily installed following the instructions included in the archive. It can be activated/deactivated using "Personalization" in the control panel, so you can easily switch back to your previous theme if you don't like this one.
If you find anything that needs fixing please let me know!

I also found a chrome theme that fits awesome with your windows theme. I don't know if you made that too, but here it is:Β chrome.google.com/webstore/detβ¦

Maybe one day. It takes a very long time to do these themes (even just a color conversion), and right now I just don't have the time.

Thanks Merlinsteffen! I only use this theme on the netbook. Aero looks fine to me too after a few tweaks to make it DARK , and is my choice for the desktop.

This looks really nice! The start menu graphic looks sweet and dark blue is a really nice, smooth color. One thing I would suggest is making the explorer window more smooth. The bars below the address bar make the theme a bit distracting.

Thanks!
You mean the title bar/Menu bar/Command bar? The original Win7 Basic theme also has 3 separate bars. Most people don't seem to have the menu bar showing (you can turn it off from Organize --> Layout --> menu bar) since the command bar/context menus do most everything you can do from the menu bar anyway. I show it only to illustrate what the menu bar looks like in other apps.
But I could make it a solid colour easily enough so that it blends in with the navigation pane - I'll look into it.
