Have you always wanted to build your own theme for Vista? You can with a new application called Vista Style Builder and the How-To-Geek has a great walkthrough to get you started with doing so. The Vista Style Builder application lets you modify the visual style of your Vista theme or even import styles from XP to be used on Vista. Also, if you’ve found a style you liked on the web, like on devianART, for example, you can also open that file up in the program and use it as a starting point. From there, you can completely customize every aspect of the UI and theme, using the software’s easy-to-use built-in tools. The program is not available just yet, so bookmark this download page and check back soon. The program will not be free and pricing info is not available yet, but the How-To-Geek promises it will be reasonable.

Looks like a cut down version of Stylebuilder from TGT http://www.tgtsoft.com/prod_sb.php

tbh this sort of application should have been made available at Vista release seeing as the default theme is ugly as hell in places and could do with a ton of improvements. Only problem now is how to make Vista Explorer not look and work like *..is there any layout, customizing program for example could allow for say putting the different explorer views onto the bar.. and not in stupid drop menu... at least having icons directly clickable for thumbs/details view would make things a bit better.. then there is all the other areas of the Vista explorer to fix..

Stylebuilder looks cool - thx for the link - I'll check that out, too.
