Windows Vista Theme/skin

[aksimhal]

Hi,

Does anybody know of a good Vista theme? I am getting bored with my XP PC (I don't have a mac :rolleyes: ) I downloaded one theme (http://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=5814&LibID=1), but it is a .wba, which I don't know how to use. If anyone knows how to use one, I would greatly appreciate it.

AksimhalYou need to download Window Blinds for that skin. The skin is also for use on XP, not Vista.

get the royale theme (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Royale-Theme-for-WinXP.shtml) (basically the media center theme)

-or-

get the vista tranformation pack (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Vista-Transformation-Pack.shtml), just dont install the tranparent windows part its cool but you also get BSODs, not good

ive used both, currently im using the vista theme, very nice i have to say.

PCLinuxOS Big Daddy 0.93 has a nice Vista-like look to it, including transparancy. It's worth messing around with if you're into the desktop linux thing.

I use the Royale, Royale Noir (http://vowe.net/archives/007832.html), and Zune (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75078) themes from Microsoft on my computers. I like these because they are free, work without Windows Blinds (these are official Microsoft-released themes), and their bright colors and glassy styling are a huge improvement over the defacto Windows XP Luna theme.

If you want to get Windows Blinds, then you will have to purchase it for $19.95 from their website.
