Using Vista Ultimate on my T60p, under "themes" i dont see Windows Vista Aero Theme. I do see "Modified Theme, MY CURRENT THEME, WINDOWS VISTA, AND WINDOWS CLASSIC". Does anyone have a theme that actually says Windows Vista Aero?

Not me - I have the same options you do.

That's all I have - the Windows Vista theme is selected here and I have Aero.

Well, LarryH from Qusers.com just helped me find the answer. I too am actually using the Aero theme, though you wouldnt know it, unless you checked here:
To get to the Aero theme, Right-click your desktop, click Personalize, then click Color and Appearance, then click Open Classic Appearance Properties.
Thanks again to LarryH.

I would've replied here but Bill just OK'd my registration. Actually, I've done business with Bill in past and am a TP user from the time they appeared on the planet. It's just been a long time since I visited these forums.

Having recently upgraded my T60P to Vista, I came by for a refresher course. As always, as useful and helpful place to be.

In fact, the setting for Aero is where it would be if Aero existed within XP. It's just that, in Vista, MS separated some of the dialogues that were in one place in XP. It used to be that a right-click on your desktop, then Properties would open a tabbed box that included Themes and Appearance.

In Vista, those have been separated. A bit less convenient, IMO, but there you have it.
