Panarchy's guide to make your XP look like vista!

Panarchy · November 22, 2007

Hello!

You only need 10 freeware programs to make your computer look like vista!

Here is the way that I made my XP computer look like vista (only free programs will be mentioned):

1. LClock

2. LClock WMP11 Skin (Is not really vista-ish, but is still nice

3. VistaMizer (Is in german, but you should be able to get around it, next and download etc.)

4. VistaVG RTM theme

5. XP Vista pack by oddbasket (Actually, these things may be included in VistaMizer so you may not need this)

6. QT Address Bar

7. Thoosje's Sidebar

8. Transbar

PS: There is also 9. Windows Media Player 11

PPS: There is 10. Windows Live Messenger 8.5 as well.
