Vista Transformation Pack 9.0 | 26.9MB
Bring to your desktop the look of Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system

Vista Transformation Pack will give to your Windows XP system the new and cool look of Microsoft's future operating system: Windows Vista. The pack changes most of the system icons, skins and toolbars and also adds new enhancements to your desktop such as a dock bar or a different system tray clock. It is free and does a great job of giving machine a look similar to Vista. Support XP SP3 and XP SP2 64-Bit Version.

It does have uninstallation options in case you decide you want to get rid of it, so there really isn’t anything to lose. However, when you install the software it has to overwrite some system files (it modifies things like the boot screen) so Windows will prompt you stating that your system files have been changed. It will ask whether you want to change them back or leave them, so just leave them if you want the system to function properly.
New 3rd-party applications:
ViSplore - Vista Glass explorer simulator
Vista Drive Icon - adding free space percentage in your drive icon like Vista explorer
Vista Rainbar - Lightweight Vista sidebar based on Rainmeter that even consume less resources than real Vista Sidebar

Improved 3rd-party applications:
ViStart - Files indexing for documents search, improved reliability and compatibilities
ViOrb - Improved graphic and reliability (C++ re-written)
TrueTransparency- Improved reliability with improved AeroStyle's glass border
WinFlip - Improved stability and reliablity

New functionalities:
Setup personization - Allow customizing Vista experiences upon installation without access to Welcome Center
Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibilities - Now you can enjoy Vista themes after installation with Windows XP Service Pack 3
x64 compatibilities- More secured x64 installation without getting hurt by incompatibilities

There're also a lot of bug fixes and refinements in the program but let's just keep it simple with these for now. You can experience the rest later by yourself.

ENJOY EVERYONE!!!

Works fine i need to mess about with it a bit more

so i have XP, i just download and install and it gives me the new look?
but not Vista itself right? because i dont want that...! hahaha.

your correct.........it just give you the look of vista, not vista itself

sweet, thanks tomy. I might have to give this a try! I wonder if
it slows down your system quite a bit...hmm...I guess I'll give it
a go and find out!

nice this is exactly what i was looking for about a week ago

O.o it was actually SuperRob, maybe you just read it wrong xD
But yeah, this is really awesome =D

i guess I was more thanking tomy for the response, not for the original link itself.....

and I was curious, if I install this deal, is there anyway to go back to how i originally have it?

it says to have the new windows media player, IE7 and something else, is that necessary?

thanks!!

yes you can totally go back to your original setup. it says you can uninstall it.
