Vista Transformation Pack 4.0

[rajat22]

Vista Transformation Pack will give to your Windows XP system the new and cool look of Microsoft's future operating system: Windows Vista. The pack changes most of the system icons, skins and toolbars and also adds new enhancements to your desktop such as a dock bar or a different system tray clock. It is free and does a great job of giving machine a look similar to Vista.


It does have uninstallation options in case you decide you want to get rid of it, so there really isn’t anything to lose. However, when you install the software it has to overwrite some system files (it modifies things like the boot screen) so Windows will prompt you stating that your system files have been changed. It will ask whether you want to change them back or leave them, so just leave them if you want the system to function properly.

As I mentioned before, I cancelled 3.5 and focusing on making more and better version 4.0 for you. I guess it's like new UI update and more stuffs added. Although it doesn't have much new functions or features, it's whole new look pack which deserves 4.0 for version number.

>>> its a good idea to always install such packs in the same mode; and also create a systemrestore point first. in view of my bad experience with longhorntransf pack onec, months back, i stay away from it. like crystalxp or crystalclear packs.

It's totally useless. Do NOT use it.

 

[manas]

I am using it and I am not having any problems.

 

[aryayush]

WindowBlinds, though paid, is far better.

 

[reddragon]

I installed it and I found that loading of windows explorer take some time. Otherwise it is good and functioning perfectly. It is good idea to create a system restore point just in case.
