Hi all, ive not long purchased the OEM version of Vista 64 Basic and i was
wondering if my default theme is bugged, its currently on Graphite with the
Intensity on max and ive noticed that if a window isnt maximized the border
is all shiny, yet if i then maximize the window (internet explorerer
included) that instead of bieng shiny its a dark black.

To me it seems like a bug due to the fact it isnt reflective at all... is it
meant to be intended this way or does it need fixing?

Also sometimes after ive deleted an item from the recycle bin the bin icon
vanishes until i refresh the desktop.. do Microsoft know of this problem?

Maximised windows do not conform to your selected options. They are
predefined by Vista. If you do not like them, just stretch the non
maximised window to fill the screen.

The black title bar is normal for a maximized window. It's a form of visual
feedback to let you know that the Window is maximized, not just stretched to
fill the screen.

Cheers guys... would be better though if the title bar had some shine to it
instead of bieng a dull colour... you can tell a stretched minimized window
due to the streaks running through it but heh, im just prob just bieng picky.
