Want to have an XP looks like Vista? Come here

[Kedzi]

Hi guys, I've recently downloaded and install some stuff on my computer to make it like Vista. Here's some programs you will need:
-UXTheme Patcher (For the themes)
-Windows sidebar ( See The Legend's thread)
-Vi0rb (for an oversized Windows logo in the toolbar)
-ViStart (for the start menu)
- And Glass2k (for the transparacy of the toolbar)
Updated--> TrueTransparacy (Real transparacy of the windows) Uses less than 200 Ko of memory ! ! ! !
Here's a screenshot of what your XP looks like after all these transformations:

To install the theme, you need to first, run UXTheme Patcher
-Drag the Shell folder and the .mssstyles (better to put them in one folder) in : CWINDOWS\Resources\Themes
-Double click on the .msstyles file and the properties should open, after just click OK and you have it !

You need alot of RAM or this won't work any good. It'll be just like Vista. Slow and sucky! Only if you have like 256MB of RAM like me. I tried this before and man did it suck (speed wise)

is the ux theme patcher for the toolbar?

[Kedzi]

Well, yes but no if you're talking about the transparacy.
xBrandonx: These program uses less than 10 000 Ko of memory,
ViStart uses 10 356 Ko and Vi0rb is using 3 252 Ko of memory.
Personally, I expected this to slow down my PC but it didn't.
The only thing that is taking a lot of memory is the sidebar, but these three aplications uses less than iTunes itself.

Whats this ? Vista Transformation pack ?

[kRAzI]

ya vista transformation pack 8
it wouldn't work for me i don't know why

[ClockworkSatsuma]

Vista transformation messed up my PC bad.
I had to do a clean install.
In the end i just installed the real vista.
It's considerably better.

i installed vtp 6 but after i restarted my computer nothing appeared to be different at all!
i've tried it before on a different computer and it worked. though i don't care cause i used Xavier's method and it appears to be fine.(so far....) ux theme patcher didn't work for me it gave me an error. i think its associated with the vtp 6 installation. i tried to uninstall it but unfortunataly it didn't work. would style xp 3.17 work? might u have a link for it if it does?(i don't know if my request is against forum rules)
