UPDATES & FIXES (2.11.2012)

*THE PREVIEW DOES NOT YET REFLECT THE CHANGES MADE.

Upon request, added an additional .msstyle with LARGER font. You're welcome, guys!
FIXED the Firefox menu bug! No longer super wide menu.
FIXED explorer frames!
CHANGED the caption buttons. If you don't like them, sorry. I'm probably going to keep them like this for now. May provide an additional version later.
CHANGED taskbar height and improved taskitem buttons.
IMPROVED start menu to reflect dark theme.
FIXED application menu bug (as in WSB)- menu bg now reflects the rest of the theme.

STILL NO WORD ON SYSTEM TRAY BUG. I'm still searching for a solution.

END UPDATES

INTRODUCTION

This is the alternative version to my "Shiroi" theme that I've called "Kuroi," for obvious reasons... Originally, I was going to keep them together, but I think I'm going to do various "Shiroi" spinoffs for now, and then when I'm done, I'll upload them all together in a convenient new zip! It's my plan to add additional colors of the rainbow so that "Shiroi Oneechan" and "Kuroi Imoutochan" can have a big happy family.

INSTALLATION

1. Use uxthemepatcher x86 or x64 (depending on your system) to patch the files necessary to use 3rd party themes (themes not made by Microsoft). Pretty self-explanatory. Restart.

2. Extract the contents of Shiroi's "theme" folder to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes.

3. Turn off the ugly blur behind the windows by using "Aeroblurtweaker." If it gives you an error message stating that you don't have permission, then you need to "Take Ownership" of the specified file. You can do this by using the other tool provided and install "TakeOwnership.reg." Once that's complete, right click the file that you need to gain access to, and select "Take Ownership."

4. Right click on your desktop to open the "Personalization" options, and select "Shiroi" from the menu. That's it!

CURRENT BUGS INCLUDE....

rouge lists in Firefox
a little work on the explorer frame borders
some weird bug where if you move the taskbar, the system tray goes haywire. D:
Inactive addressbar in explorer has weird line on the far right; searchbox text when entered is too dark.
And lastly, I need to find the location of some fonts, or add the font property to various locations like the task manager, and properties window for the start menu.

By the way... If you comment noting a bug that is already listed here, then will be obvious to me that you did NOT read the description, and I will not respond to you. I repeat. I am WORKING on these. I'm sorry, I don't like being too redundant.

Also worth mentioning...

THIS IS AN AERO THEME. This does NOT support Basic. Not yet, at least. Also, this does not support right or left taskbars. I overlooked this while making the theme, but will be adding this in my first update.

Any questions or suggestions? Feel free to let me know! Anything you like in particular, or something you would like to see changed? Feel free to let me know! I may provide additional .msstyles in future updates for this theme, so feedback is encouraged!
