Notes:
- All the system files are made to work together (for example, if you install the visual style without the shell32.dll, the left part of your control panel will look like shit!).
- The folder band toolbar is in auto-hide mode, I don't use it at all, so a simple mouse over will make it appear.
- Don't try to change things if you have doubts about the manipulation needed, bad manipulations would damage your program or your system.
- The original Albook concept is from Laurent Baumann (http://lbaumann.com/ or http://avetenebrae.deviantart.com/).
He is the creator of 357 albook icons and the UNIQUE owner of the albook icon project.
- I am not the owner of Comfortaa font, I have just been allowed by Aajohan (http://aajohan.deviantart.com/) to make some mods of his work in order to adapt it to the visual style.
