Chic styles for the Windows Vista sidebar

Take a look at this stylish sidebar:

Windows_Vista-64

Doesn't it go much better with Windows Aero than the black transition that usually serves as the sidebar background? You can also make your Windows Vista sidebar much more appealing with the following small tools:

    Windows_Vista-65

  2. Immediately after installation, you have the option of exchanging various graphics in the Styler itself. Here, of course, you can give free rein to your creativity and graphic art.
  3. However, it's much easier with ready-made styles. I think the following styles, which you can download, are particularly "cool":

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again.
