Complete Windows 7 theme for Windows XP?


Recommended Posts

Hey

I use VMWare Workstation 7's Unity mode because I have a application that is not compatible with Windows 7 and I dont have Windows XP Mode. Id like a theme that makes Windows XP look exactly like Windows 7 with a transparent Window title bar, taskbar, etc so when in Unity, it looks as native as posssible.

Even though I get this theme, I might see the title bar transparent but actually see the VM instead of my host machine but oh well....

Thank you very much :)

well you wont be able to get full transparency native in XP as the theming engine does not support it. You will need WindowBlinds for that. If you just want a Windows 7 theme I am sure there are some floating around on the forum here or on places like deviantart.

Understood :) I guess I will install WindowBlinds.

I was asking for a recommened theme that most looks like the Windows 7 RTM theme (if I cant change the color like in 7, oh well....)

I simply do not understand (I dont mean to be rude) why instead of saying things like "If you just want a Windows 7 theme I am sure there are some floating around on the forum here or on places like deviantart." and " there are themes on Neowin that look alot like full blown 7. ", everyone just doesnt post "Use Google". It would be the same thing...

Im asking for a specific name please :) A good reply would be a link or "serach for windows7rtmthemeforwxpnamehere made by authorofthethemehere. It looks pretty much exactly alike"

First, thank you for posting a name AND a link :)

Second, I remember that this is the new version of XP or Vista transformation back for 98/XP. I didnt go too well but Ill try it out again and see how it goes.

Thanks alot :)

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
