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:
