I getting ready to go to bed now, but I just finished another tile.
This one is for the people who use FreeCommander File Manager(great because it takes on my AeroHybrid theme colors)
I just modified the colors of the Reflect .png for people who like it darker(hello @Edwin)
Just "save as" the new PNG image and swap it out with the old one you placed in C:\Program Files\Macrium\Reflect
Dark Gray
Gold
NoteFor the gold to show up better with a dark theme you will need to change the HEX value, for Background color to the color of your Start Menu, in the reflect.VisualElementsManifest file.
For example:
BackgroundColor='#000000' -- for a black Start Menu
Here's how the dark gray one looks:
Using High Contrast the gold version of the tile(for @Edwin):

So folks I have just finish the new theme, I call it Hybrid Aero(Theme type) Wood
Credits:
- @kado897 and @BunnyJ and Bing Images -- Wallpapers
- @Hopachi -- Cursor
- @Superfly -- SMACC, without this color chooser too, I would never have gotten these colors right, and with the help of the preview window, made the creation faster.
- Myself -- for the system colors settings and putting everything together.
Here are the screenshots of the final iteration:

Information
Instructions to apply your new Windows Aero Hybrid Theme
1.) Download all parts(Themepack, Inactive Title Bar accent color regiastry file, any additional wallpapers, and go to any provided links for extras, such as cursors).
2.) Once files are downloaded, right click each file and unblock them(a small checkbox on the bottom right corner of the General tab)
3.) Zipped files need to be extracted by right clicking and choosing Extract(to any place you wish, I have created a Themes Library folder for this myself, but to Documents, or Desktop is ok too).
You can now delete the Zip files and/or themepack if you wish, once they are applied. Although... I recommend, if you like the theme, save the zipped files somewhere other than the system(C:) drive(backup).
4.) Then you just click the Themepack & any additional registry files to apply them. Also place any additional wallpapers in your Pictures library, and add them to the theme or apply as Lock Screen.
5.) Enjoy!
Note: To uninstall the theme: just go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization change to another theme, then right click the one you don't wish to have any more, and delete it.
