In XP, the desktop theme was called 'Luna', whereas in Vista, the equivalent new desktop, shell and GUI is called AERO. Yet, Windows AERO is more than a shop window for the operating system's shell, in fact AERO defines, creates and expresses the whole user experience. Perhaps you have flirted with XP's themes? For example, you have tested the Aquaria, Earth views, or even tried the humble Wheat. Superficially, the AERO effect is an extension of such Themes. However, the extra dimension that AERO brings is a glass, see-though effect. If you take the redesigned Recycle bin as an example, when you delete a file you can see how the AERO graphics change to show a screwed up paper balls in the bin. Moreover, the bin chameleon like as it subtly changes its color when you alter the background.
