How Can I Get A Windows Vista Like Theme On My Windows XP ? Basically A “Windows XP” vista theme?
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.
modding is cool,
add this mod with google’s sidebar app (google desktop)… i really love when google’s app integrate with your desktop, the web and the phone.. gives ultimate convergence…
ultimate convergence — amen
I found a theme @ DeviantArt. Search for Stolen5. It’s really neat!!
You can find it at Neowin forums.
U could have also added the UXTheme patch that is required to install custom themes.
