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.

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.
