Presents... NEXTLevel

The wait is over!
Now you can enjoy my newest visual style for Vista :D
Bring your desktop to the next level with the NEXTLevel!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package contains:
● one visual style in 2 versions
-- fully skinned aero mode
-- fully skinned basic mode
● one wallpaper in 2 resolutions + version for left and right screen

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27-03-08 -> NEXTLevel gots update! I've included the most requested "features" such as "new" classic taskbar with custom orb and transparency on maximized windows :D
Check update log below for full information.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
To use custom visual styles you need to patch your system, via VistaGlazz or TuneUp Utilities

Next unpack 'NEXTLevel' folder to 'C:\Windows\Resources\Themes' (where C is the partition with Windows installed)

Now you can change the visual style by clicking any .msstyle file, or via 'Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to thank very much ~Michel8170 for his help and support

Also thank to ~patrickgs for the help,

Daily Deviation, 2007-12-15

Daily DeviationAs the suggestion note said, "~Vathanx has obviously put a lot of work into NEXTLevel and as a result has produced a stand-out item for the sparsely-populated vista skins gallery. Making vista skins is not easy due to the lack of tools, and we need to encourage more people like him to help get the ball rolling". I have nothing else to say than "amazing!". The best VS for Vista I've seen so far. (Suggested by =chalkley3 and Featured by `manicho)
