One of the latest questions asked was: If I knew any site where they allowed users to download a theme to make XP look like VIsta? Everything should XP look like from programs menu, taskbar, start button and just about anything and everything.
I’ve really not hunted around for a free solution on this one. I’m sure, if one has time, they can dig out a free solution. A temporary fix for $20 bill follows:
1> Firstly you need a zune theme on your system. You can download the Microsoft Installer from here :

2> Now for the start button, head to http://lee-soft.com/viorb/index.html and download the necessary. In fact, there is a remastered version of this particular software on their forums available at http://lee-soft.com/forums/index.php?topic=47.0 . You need to register yourself to the forum and need to be logged in to download the attachment. I suggest go for the re-mastered version.
3> And finally the programs menu – get it from http://lee-soft.com/vistart/index.html
Install all three and you should be good to go. Your Windows XP will have an exact Vista look alike theme.
I found a theme @ DeviantArt. Search for Stolen5. It’s really neat!! 🙂
U could have also added the UXTheme patch that is required to install custom themes. 🙂 You can find it at Neowin forums.
