look on deviant art they have them everywhere on there.

 

read then pinned thread... in there, somewhere... is what you need...

then... download the skin...

 

Don't do it, it makes your pc slow. And people will think you have vista and start teasing you and stuff... you don't want that...

 

You have to have a pretty pathetic PC for it to make much of an impact, really.

 

swapping the MSSTYLE theme is generally considered to have a negligible impact.

if the performance impact from switching from the default XP theme to a custom vista theme is noticeable, chances are you should be on a stripped down version of 2000 and not XP

 

I used Windowblinds on a PC with a 2.4ghz Celeron, a gig of DDR133 RAM and a 9600XT, and it had absolutely no performance impact whatsoever. As far as it goes, if your CPU is worse than a 2.4ghz celly, then, as xlink says, you'd normally be struggling to run most stuff inside XP anyway.

Btw, I googled 'vista theme on xp' and this was my first hit. why do people never try google...?

The only thing I have to say, is why want the vista theme?

 

Alright, I had something similar to this

Download windows blind @ http://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/ . Unfortunately its only a trial =( (for 60 days i believe)

after installing, go to http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?libid=1&c=1 and in the lower right hand corner theres a bunch of tabs such as wallpapers, screen savers, etc. Select windows blind or you can type "windows vista" in the search on the top right hand corner.

a couple of skins i had that i thought looked cool were called "avenger" and "quantria".

although this is a trial version, it lets u pimp out the appearance of ur pc

hope this helps

 

well ive had vista inspirat fora long time and its a decent theme http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.id.130.htm they upgraded it to a exact copy of vista style now ..

.. another one is black xp .. but cant give link to that

 

Thanks guys

 

Don't get Windowblinds, it just saps unnecessary resources; you should get yourself a hacked msstyles.dll; I haven't had any problems with using one.

Then look on either Deviantart or Wincustomize.

 

Instead of using vista themes for XP, i've been searching for XP themes and i found a few but i can't get them to work. Any ideas?

 

what program are u using?

 

No program, just a xp theme i shouldn't need a program.
