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.

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.

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

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!.

decent caption buttons. Very good work. The taskbar icons are also
pretty cool.

like the thin window bars. Very elegant work!.

A
beautiful Visual style for Windows 7 is this Wave theme. I definitely

Mac theme. Thin window frames, not as round as the default UI. Good!

for alternatives to the default Windows 7 themes? Try this light-dark
theme. A pitch-black navigation bar always works great.
