Putting Windows Vista’s “Aero” Theme on a Diet
by  Jeff AtwoodNo presence information  on 8/16/2007 11:31 AM

I've always disliked Windows XP's default "Luna" theme, which I personally thought was horribly, hideously ugly.

I always turned it off in favor of the "Classic" Windows 2000 theme.

With Windows Vista I'm actually a big fan of the default "Aero" theme:

But the only downside to Aero is that it takes up an incredible amount of space with its enormous window borders. I think this is to better show off the transparency effects. Fortunately, it is possible to tweak the window borders to slim them down a bit, so the trim around the windows isn't so comically large.

Right-click your desktop, choose Personalize, then Window Color and Appearance, then click the Advanced button. From here, edit the "Border Padding" and "Active Title Bar" settings to put Aero on a diet.

Works for me!
