Is that an XP theme Geo?
XP Media Center Edition theme, indeed. I hate aero.

Is it official? or is software needed to install it?
I would much rather have that than aero.

It's not official, it's made by a 3rd party. External software isn't needed to use it though.

I've been going through deviant art and have found some very nice ones, but they all needs software to install them, would you mind providing a link to yours?

It was a while ago. It involved changing some permissions of some files and replacing a couple of files.

I would take it to PM, but it also increases the performance of the computer apparently, due to it not using all of Vista's aero checks and restrictions.

3.1 due to having an integrated Intel card on this laptop. The rest is in the 5's.
P.S Vista went up to 7.9 also.

Windows 7 [6.0] It's my hard drive. They added numbers, because of all the new hardware coming out so I think that's cool.

It's still a pretty nice score. You should test it on Windows 7, it's WEI is a little more strict and expanded.
