 I use windows 7 theme. I got it from winmatrix.

 You may run it through Windows Blinds, but I highly disagree on use of WB since it modifies a lot in the registry.

 Instead, to use 3rd party themes, you can use either of the two:

(1) Tune Utilities
(2) Uxtheme Patcher

*I use uxtheme patcher because it use less memory since it simply change window's theme settings to allow 3rd party themes instead of WB and TU that uses some memory to generate the theme.

nmb, strange. I have used that theme in a lot of systems. Never failed.
It's fully Microsoft compatible, no need for software installs, driver patching, nothing, zero, nada.
