21 Best Light Custom Windows 7 Theme

Static 2.0
Static 2.0 is definitely one of the most beautiful Windows 7 themes I used lately. I like the idea of the colorful taskbar icons, the colorful shell, the colorful Windows search. Color can be used so effectively and this theme makes use of it! I really hope that we something like this in Windows 8. The Metro UI is using a lot of colors as well, so if Windows 8 themes come close to this I will be very happy else we have to create some more custom Windows 8 themes.

Static Polished
Static Polished. An updated version of the Static theme above. If you are sick of round corners and no colors, you will ove this one.

Metalik Glass
Another very hot Aero desktop theme! If you don’t like the hover effects of the default Windows 7 caption buttons and you want a bluish glow when you hover over the caption buttons (close/minimize/maximize) then this be the perfect theme for you. It also modifies all of the Windows icons if you install the theme correctly.

Leaf Visual Style
Oh beautiful nature! Another great custom Aero theme that will modify not only your caption buttons and forward/back buttons. The theme includes 6 different “sub” themes, which is quite amazing. Also, I very much like the thin borders. According to the author, window frames and scrollbars are both thinner.

7 Clean V1

iFluxy 2
A very special transparent glass theme for Windows 7 is iFluxyii. In the preview below it looks like the taskbar buttons are centered. To achieve this, you can apply a really simple trick: Create an empty toolbar and make it so large that it will center your taskbar icons. If you need some more intructions, a tutorial will follow shortly.

Maverick Ubuntu
One of my favorite custom Windows 7 themes is this Maverick theme! If you like Ubuntu, you will love this theme. It’s a 1:1 copy of the Maverick Ubuntu UI. Only works with Aero enabled.

Max
Another beautiful visual style for Mac lovers. It doesn’t come as close to a Mac as our Windows 7 Mac theme (at the very top), but it’s a very nice theme nontheless.

Minimal Taste

Office 2010 VS RC
Yet another glassy Windows 7 theme but with Office-like window frames (rectangle, the corners are not round as they are by default). Includes a full installation guide. It works on both Windows 7 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. Includes some animated shellstyles.

Pure Beta 2
Pure Windows is a really hot theme. If you want a beautiful glossy Windows 7 Aero theme, try this one. It also modifies the look of the taskbar icons. If you are tired of the very large taskbar icon borders, get rid of them!.
