So, get a new theme.You do have to admit, though, that Vista is a lot nicer to look at than that crappy Playskool XP look.
look harder?Yeah, I've tried changing themes, but I haven't found any that aren't cheezy.
I've found some themes that are pretty descent.
Which version?I tried the Vista Transformation Pack, too, and it was buggier than running Vista.
I think version 7 is pretty buggy. version 6 isn't so buggy, but I still prefer just to have another theme with a patched uxtheme.dll
Or, you could use a program called TrueTransparency, which is free.And you have to pay for Windows Blinds to get transparent title bars which aren't implemented as nicely as Vista's.
You can get themes that include the same round start button that Vista has.It isn't even possible to have a Start Orb in XP without making a small app that sits on top of the Start button.
yes, yes they are.I know these things are unnecessary
yeah, but there's more to an OS than just looking better.but after using Linux with Compiz/Fusion I can't bear to look at XP anymore and Aero is the best Windows offering for eye-candy.
I'm sure you've noticed at least some things that XP does better.The only trouble that I have had with Vista turned out to be a blown video card; it wasn't even anything to do with Vista. So I'm happy with it.
XP is faster in most things.
If Vista actually manages to be faster in XP in a few things, it isn't by much.
