Yeah, the fake aero hasn’t evolved to the level that I expected it to be at. I thought by now a lot more things would have popped up, but I think the excitement of trying to make XP look like Vista is wearing off a little now that Vista is actually available.

Hey Ryan, it turns out the vista-like folder info at the bottom of windows explorer is shown when the Aero style is chosen in the Styler program. The reason it disappeared before is because I had chosen the Vista basic style. I decided to give the Aero one a try again, although it really has zero transparency in the title-bar. I hope that FastAero will be enhanced to a usable level so I can ditch the VTP aero all together. I like VTP’s taskbar, sounds, login page, buttons, scrollbars, but on my PC the fake aero is really a joke.

You can’t access your Gmail account? I don’t even know how this would affect that?

If you don’t like this software you can uninstall it and get back your normal XP, but if you’re talking about actually installing Windows Vista you cannot go back to XP without starting over.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about? And why would you need that folder?

I never had any luck customizing the color either, but I’m not sure why you’re not getting the transparency when using glass2k. That always worked for me, but I hated having the transparency because it made reading the title bars a little difficult.

That must be something that needed to be configured when the program was installed. I remember having that feature and it actually annoyed me more than anything because it was not collapsible. All it did was eat up a bunch of valuable screen space at the bottom of my explorer window.

Also, I’ve been using QTTabbar since you reviewed it. It’s an excellent concept, and that program does it very well. The one annoyance I’ve had is that it changes the function of the main back/forward buttons to go ALL THE WAY back/forward, and makes the small buttons on the tabbar take the regular step 1 back/forward. Is there an option to disable this? The program should leave that function alone.

I would have to classify that as a bug in QTTabbar, but I think it happens for everyone. I tried to get a hold of the developer but I had a terrible time finding an email address, not to mention there would have probably been a language barrier.

Hi, I installed VTP6 and I can gladly say it works well! I had tried VTP before and was never able to get the UI theme/skin. I gave up and uninstalled which worked except icons, which I restored using TweakUI. I installed the main stuff and ditched most of the extras (start orb, visual task tip, sidebar, glass2k). There is one problem I’m having. I don’t really like the color of the top pane of windows. I tried customizing but that didn’t look any good at all. I tried glass2k but that just makes the whole window see-thru. It doesn’t have the see-thru look of the ones in the screenshots.

[...] XP, instead it just styles the borders of your windows to be what you would expect in Vista. Full Vista skinning solutions are available and maybe after this is fine tuned a bit more (for both speed and compatibility) it may be included [...]

It isn’t one single program, it mainly consists of many small programs. And those small programs are really very well made. It will let you choose during installation, which parts of “Vista Transformation Pack” you want to install.

It is uninstallable, but some users have problems with it cleanly uninstalling. I wish I could say it would work 100% when uninstalling it but that’s not always the case. The worst thing that I think I have heard of is the icons remaining the Vista-style instead of switching back to XP’s style.

Hey I Was Just Wondering,
If I Install This Vista Look-Alike Would I Be Able To Restore My Settings Back To The XP One?
Please Tell Me I Would Really Like To Know, So I Could Download It To See If I Would Like It Or Not.
So Please Help Me Out.

The transparency should work automatically unless something didn’t install right. Did you get any errors in the installation process?

That’s the version I uploaded. It was released like an hour after the original and the PROPER is what’s on FileHo.
