I applied the theme, everything is fine but, I replaced explorer.exe with the one provided. Then restarted the pc and the taskbar buttons are still iconized and large like that of 7. Everything have changed only the taskbar.
Please help.

When I set the taskbar location to be at top, right or left, it will have the windows 7 orb. But at the bottom it will be fine.
Running The final version of Vista VS.
Thanks.

So, this is an Aero version of the Vista look? I am looking for the Vista Basic non-aero. Is that available?

Once I wanted the same thing. I remembered a simple and safe trick:
1. Click on start
2. Right click on Computer and select Properties
3. It will open system properties window, at the left of that window, click Advanced system settings
4. Now it'll open Advanced Properties, Under Performance in the advanced tab, Click settings
5. Uncheck Enable Desktop Composition
6. Click Apply and then OK
7. You'll have it!
