Turning Vista into Win 7

So i uninstalled Windows 7 resource candidate after it started the 2hrly reboot on March, and reinstalled Vista Sp1. But i wanted the Windows 7 seven feel in Vista and this is what i found: Windows 7 theme. The theme does not animate windows like win 7 ofcourse, thought it gives the transparent effect to the title bars etc.

To install the theme, Do everything suggested in previous post, then download the 7 theme and put it in Resource folder.

This is how it looks after assigning the theme:


How to add new themes to Windows Vista SP1

1. Install VistaGlaz and run it.

2. Click this button in it and then the "patch files" button.

3. Now click this button and click "patch files".

4. Reboot.

5. Download new themes from here or somewhere else.

6. Put the downloaded files into the "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes" folder.


7. Finally goto Desktop -> right click and select "personalize". Select "Themes" and select your new theme and apply. Done.
