Vista Longhorn 5112 Build Theme for Win7

The Windows Vista early builds were called Longhorn. Many of us still remember how stylish these builds were compared to our crusty old Windows XP desktops. They offered transparency as well. So it is with some nostalgia to find a Windows 7 Theme to bring back this familiar look. Below are my results and a link below where you can get it. Very nice job and thanks to the author. Enjoy.

How to Use Windows 7 Logo Key Shortcuts

 

By Greg Harvey from Windows 7 For Dummies Quick Reference

Most keyboards now have a special Windows logo key. Because these keyboards are so prevalent, Windows 7 has increased the number of keyboard shortcuts that use this key. You can use Windows logo key shortcuts for everything from opening key system folders (such as the Control Panel) to flipping through open windows to locking your PC.

The Windows logo key is usually located to the immediate left of the Alt key on the bottom row of the keyboard.

 

 

 

 

The table that follows lists all the great keyboard shortcuts that Windows 7 supports for those of you with keyboards blessed with the special Windows logo key.

I've been working at home all week and wanted a clean simple theme. The Win8 Consumer Preview was a nice fit. I disabled transparency, selected the gray color, and combined it with the standard Windows 7 wallpaper in gray to match it. Below is a link where to get it. Very nice. Enjoy.
