I ran the theme patch for XP that allows you to use non Microsoft created themes (aka themes you don't have to pay for.) Then I downloaded the Vista Razor theme as shown in the pics. I really like the change from the standard XP look. The cool part about it is there are no services that run in the backround to take up memory or kill performance or make it glitchy. I refuse to go vista, but I do like the look of it. So now I get XP navigation and menus with a vista look! There are a bunch of other user created themes out there but this looks the best imo. I'm overly excited about this though If anyone wants to do it I can host the patch and themes.
Does anyone else do this?

 

Here is another theme:


Am I a noob getting excited over nothing or what? My computer was in dire need of a facelift after years of the same operating system. I was even starting to settle with Windows wallpapers


I guess these arent full themes, just the task bar and menu bars and stuff look different.

 

i like the look of vista... kinda want it lol, the look that is, not vista

 

i use vista.. will never again use XP

 

I have vista. I want Mac. Who wants to buy me a Mac for Christmas?

 

Not trying to personaly attack you guys, but Vista is LAME. Maybe it just came on your computers and is what you have to deal with, but I don't know any computer experts who thinks Vista is an upgrade from XP. I'd consider making the switch to a mac before vista.

I've tried to use it several times and each time end up saying "**** it!!!!!" There are sooooooo many key features of windows that are not easily accessable with vista's menus and that is the main thing for me.

 

I heard the "new" windows 7 wil be a nice improvement over vista. I dont know when it comes out, or how much it will cost, but it could be worth the wait

 

took me 2 years to make the switch to vista... and yes. i actually bought a mac at first. and god i hated it. i finially bought vista ultimate x64 edition, and i love it. it just needs to be tweaked to perfection and you will love it as much as i do.. if i got another computer id probly get a mac again even tho i hated it, it was very reliable... im a gamer and the ammount of games for a mac are limited. plus i had a PowerBook which still had the PowerPC processor, and a 64mb video card....

 

man, now i want that vista theme, looks pretty sweet. I have not yet used vista so i have no opinion, but i can say i hate mac, use one at work, and yea, it's better for graphics and lots of other stuff, but just not my preference.

 

pm me your email address and I'll send you the patch and theme if you want.
