Over the past few weeks I have found myself on the Vista desktop more and more despite the problems I have written about before.  So spending this much "extra" time with Vista means I can't get stuck with the basic Aero theme.

I have spent a lot of time just trying out different skins and themes on Windows Vista.  WindowBlinds has done an incredible job of making XP skins works pretty flawlessly on Vista, and it has been nice to boot Vista and see some of my favorite themes on there.

I have been reading forum posts lately and realized people don't know that ObjectDock 1.5 is Vista compatible.  Just as on XP, ObjectDock is almost a necessity for me and having it on Vista has made the "switch" that much easier.

There really isn't any difference running and using ObjectDock on Windows Vista.  You can still use the same backgrounds, tabbed docks (plus version), and icons just as you did on Windows XP.  There are many backgrounds available and for me it's almost mandatory to have a matching ObjectDock theme to go with the rest of my desktop.

One of my top favorites on XP was Acrylic by danilloOc, and has been the one I have used the most on Vista.

Next up on my rotation is Dreamland by JJ Ying. Dreamland takes advantage of transparency and has been a skin that I use when I want a real minimal desktop, and it looks great on Vista.

The last skin that I have been using on a regular basis here recently is 5imple, another skin by danilloOc. 

These are some of the themes I have been using on Windows Vista with WindowBlinds, and I recommend each of them if you haven't used them already.  So for the people who have Vista, what are some of the skins and themes you have been using with it?
