=======================================================
NOTE: Since Windows 7 is under beta testing, its GUI is going to change in later builds. So we'll keep updating this tutorial to match the latest changes.
=======================================================
As you all know Windows 7 Beta build has been released and is available everywhere on the net. We posted a small review of Windows 7 at following link:
What’s New in Windows 7: A Small Review with Screenshots
Windows 7 provides lots of new features along with a newly designed interface. It looks very similar to Windows Vista but there are many GUI changes like redesigned taskbar, Explorer, new boot screen and login screen, etc.
If you are still using Windows XP but want to enjoy the new Windows 7 look, then this tutorial will definitely help you.
After following this tutorial, you'll get the same Windows 7 look in your Windows XP. Following is a list of things which are going to change after following this tutorial:
- Windows Theme or Visual Style
- Icons
- Boot Screen
- Login Screen or Welcome Screen
- Taskbar
- Wallpaper
- Progress Dialog Box
- Shutdown / Log off Dialog Box
- About Windows Box
- System Properties Dialog Box
- Extras like "Aero Shake", "Aero Snap", "Aero Peek", "Calculator" and "Wordpad"
- A Few Other Mods...
So here we start our transformation tour:
1. Windows Theme or Visual Style:
Windows 7 provides a new refreshing look which includes redesigned taskbar and start menu, Windows Explorer and a few other small changes.
You can get the same look in Windows XP by using following theme:
Download Windows 7 Theme for Windows XP
You can also use an excellent WindowBlinds skin created by "fediaFedia". It requires Stardock WindowBlinds to be installed in your system.
Download Windows 7 WindowBlinds Skin for Windows XP
2. Icons:
Windows 7 icons are almost same as Vista icons atm. You can use following icon pack to install them in XP:
![]()
Download Windows 7 Icon Pack for XP
3. Boot Screen:
Windows 7 boot screen shows "Starting Windows..." text along with a glassy progressbar in the middle of screen.
You can get a similar boot screen in Windows XP:

Download Windows 7 Boot Screen for Windows XP
PS: If you want to get new Windows 7 Beta animated boot screen, then follow this topic:
Download New Windows 7 Beta Boot Screen for Windows XP
4. Login Screen or Welcome Screen:
Windows 7 login screen looks similar to Vista login screen except the new background image and the text displayed at bottom.

Download Windows 7 Login Screen for Windows XP
5. Taskbar:
Windows 7 taskbar has been highly redesigned. It doesn't show opened program's name in their taskbar buttons, instead it only shows their icons.

You can get the same behavior in XP by using following tutorial:
Get Windows 7 Iconized (Icon Only) Taskbar Feature in Windows XP
Or you can use following small utility which can do the task automatically:
Taskbar Iconizer: Utility to Iconize Taskbar in Windows XP
6. Wallpaper:
You can get the official Windows 7 wallpapers from following links:
![]()
Download Windows 7 Official Wallpaper Shown at PDC 2008
Download Windows 7 Beta Build 6936 Default Desktop Wallpaper
7. Progress Dialog Box:
Windows 7 progress dialog box is similar to Windows Vista. We can make our XP dialog box look like it by using Resource Hacker.

Open "%windir%\System32\Shell32.dll" file in Resource Hacker and go to:
Dialog -> 1020 -> 1033
Now replace the existing code in right-side pane with the code present in following file:
Click on Compile Script button.
You'll also have to replace existing AVIs in the file with new ones. Download following Zip file and extract it:
After extracting the Zip file you'll get 3 AVI files. Replace existing AVIs in shell32.dll file with these new ones in following manner:
AVI -> 160 ->1033 with 160.avi
AVI -> 161 ->1033 with 161.avi
AVI -> 162 ->1033 with 162.avi
AVI -> 163 ->1033 with 162.avi
AVI -> 164 ->1033 with 162.avi
And also download a BMP file from here:
After extracting the BMP file from it, add it at 404 location in file. Just click on Action -> Add a new resource and then click on Open file with new resource button. Select the downloaded BMP file and click on Open. Now in Resource Name enter 404 and in Resource Language enter 1033 and click on Add Resource button. That's it.
8. Shutdown / Log off Dialog Box:
Windows 7, similar to Vista, doesn't have any shutdown / log off dialog box but we can redesign Windows XP default shutdown box to make it more refreshing like following screenshot:

Download required BMP files from here:
Extract the file and you'll get 4 BMPs with the name:
1.bmp
2.bmp
3.bmp
4.bmp
Now open "%windir%\System32\Shell32.dll" file in Resource Hacker and then replace following BITMAPs with the mentioned BMP files:
Bitmap -> 14351 -> 1033 with 1.bmp
Bitmap -> 14353 -> 1033 with 2.bmp
Bitmap -> 14354 -> 1033 with 1.bmp
Bitmap -> 14355 -> 1033 with 2.bmp
Bitmap -> 14356 -> 1033 with 3.bmp
now save the file and open %windir%\System32\msgina.dll file in Resource Hacker and then replace following BITMAPs with the mentioned BMP files:
Bitmap -> 20140 -> 1033 with 1.bmp
Bitmap -> 20141 -> 1033 with 2.bmp
Bitmap -> 20142 -> 1033 with 1.bmp
Bitmap -> 20143 -> 1033 with 2.bmp
Bitmap -> 20150 -> 1033 with 4.bmp
Now save the file.
9. About Windows Box:
To change the About Windows box you'll need to change 2 things: The top logo and the text part.

Download the required BITMAP file from here:
Open "%windir%\System32\Shell32.dll" file in Resource Hacker and then replace following BITMAPs with the downloaded BMP file:
Bitmap -> 131 -> 1033 (For XP Professional)
Bitmap -> 147 -> 1033 (For XP Home)
Now open %windir%\System32\msgina.dll file in Resource Hacker and then replace following BITMAPs with the downloaded BMP file:
Bitmap -> 101 -> 1033 (For XP Professional)
Bitmap -> 107 -> 1033 (For XP Professional)
Bitmap -> 128 -> 1033 (For XP Home)
Bitmap -> 129 -> 1033 (For XP Home)
Now to change the text of dialog box, open "%windir%\System32\xpsp1res.dll" file in Resource Hacker and then goto:
Dialog -> 14352 -> 1033
Now replace the existing code in right-side pane with the code in following file:
Click on Compile Script button and save the file.
10. System Properties Dialog Box:
To make System Properties dialog box look like Windows 7 one, visit following tutorial:
Get Windows 7 System Properties Dialog Box in Windows XP
11. A Few Extras:
Windows 7 provides 3 new features which are called "Aero Shake", "Aero Snap" and "Aero Peek".
"Aero Shake" is quite useful. Suppose you have more than one windows opened and you want to minimize all other windows except the window which you are working on, then you have to simply shake the current window with your mouse and all other windows will be minimized automatically. Shake it again and all minimized windows will be maximized again.
Using "Aero Snap", you can minimize, maximize, resize windows by just dragging-dropping them to the screen corners.
"Aero Peek" has replaced the old "Show Desktop" feature in Windows 7. It can be found as a small rectangle present at last in Windows 7 taskbar. When you hover the mouse cursor over it, it allows you to peek behind all open windows by hiding all windows and showing only outlines of all windows.
You can get all these features working in XP using following tutorials:
Get Windows 7 “Aero Shake” Feature in Windows XP
Get Windows 7 “Aero Snap” Feature in Windows XP
Get Windows 7 “Aero Peek” Feature in Windows XP
Windows 7 also contains a new redesigned Calculator which has new GUI and new options.

You can get the same calculator in Windows XP using following link:
Get Windows 7 Like Calculator in Windows XP
One more interesting thing in Windows 7 is the new Wordpad UI. Wordpad in Windows 7 contains Ribbons.
You can get a similar Ribbon UI Wordpad in Windows XP. “Solo-Dev” aka “Villain” has released an updated version of Windows default Wordpad which includes Ribbon UI:

Get Windows 7 Like Wordpad with Ribbon UI in Windows XP
12. A Few Other Mods:
1. Windows 7 Desktop context menu is much different than XP one.

Following are a few things which are new in Windows 7 menu:
- "View" menu visible in Desktop context menu
- "Arrange Icons By" renamed to "Sort By"
- "Properties" renamed to "Personalize"
- "Auto Arrange" and "Align to Grid" options moved to "View" menu from "Sort By" menu
- 2 new options "Display Settings" and "Gadgets" added to the menu
So above are a few changes which are new in Windows 7 but we can get them in XP using following tutorial:
Get Windows 7 Desktop Context Menu in XP, Add “View”, “Display Settings”, “Gadgets” & Other Options
2. Windows 7's Programs menu is similar to Vista but very different from XP, you can use following tutorial to make your XP Programs menu similar to Windows 7:
Change Look-n-Feel of Windows XP Start Menu
3. Windows 7, similar to Vista, shows the same ORB just before the Login screen. You can also get a similar thing in XP. Just download following BMP:
Open regedit and goto:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
In right-side pane change the value of Wallpaper String value to the Path of downloaded BMP file. e.g., if you saved the BMP file at "D:\Startup.bmp", then set the value of Wallpaper to D:\Startup.bmp. Now you'll get a similar ORB before the Login screen in XP.
4. Windows 7 explorer is quite similar to Vista and shows the same small horizontal progress bar under each drive icon for the drive space. You can also get the same in XP by using a 3rd party utility, which is uploaded here:
Download Vista Drive Status Utility
Mirror
Just run the file and it'll add the progress bar under each drive.
5. To get the Breadcrumbs in addressbar you can use "QT Addressbar":
QT Addressbar: Windows Vista Addressbar Clone for Windows XP
That's all for now. After following all the above mentioned steps, you'll get Windows 7 look-n-feel in Windows XP.
We'll keep updating this tutorial whenever we get something new to add or Microsoft makes some new changes to Windows 7...
NOTE: If you have any problem with Resource Hacker and want to know about it, then please go through following tutorials:
All About Resource Hacker in a Brief Tutorial
List of Files to be hacked using Resource Hacker
List of a few Locations in Windows XP System Files to be Hacked using Resource Hacker
If you get error while saving any system file, it means WFP (Windows File Protection) service is active in your system. Disable it using WFP Patcher or use Replacer to replace system files with your modified ones. You can get both utilities from our Downloads section.

kero said:
Hey this is kero again, I dont see my first post on here. I'm still having the same problem with using the program to replace my Pictures so I can have the new shut down menu. I will change them, save them and then when I open the file up again it reverts back to the old picture files. Any help with this?
kero said:
lol nevermind, I'm a noob at mod-ing system files... I forgot to confirm the patch for WFP after I started to run it. Thanks though.
Syphoner2002 said:
Every time I try to change the Shutdown / Log off Dialog Box I get This is not a Win32 executable file. What do you suggest?
kero said:
Well what steps have you gone though? explain step by step if you can what you are trying to do and maybe I can help you out. Also tell me what programs you are using when you are trying to change it. If you are trying to access the two files one of them being shell32.dll with out using ResHack then you will get that error messge.
Syphoner2002 said:
I'm going by the same steps on step 8. Shutdown / Log off Dialog Box and I'm using Resource Hacker to change the files Shell32.dll and Msgina.dll.
kero said:
Are you using the WFP patch program? windows file protection will also prevent you from changing the files. Depending on your settings it might even prevent reshack from moding them. You can find WFP Switch in their downloads section here http://www.askvg.com/downloads/
You have to run it then restart your computer then do step 8, save the files then do the switch again then restart. When you mod the two files, you might want to look for files that have the same name and then said "_orignal" after then, you will have to delete them or move them out of the folder if you perfer to do that.
I hope this helped if not come back and we can do trial and error again.
Syphoner2002 said:
Yes I did the WFP patch thinking that will help me. Which it didn't. I just tried once again.. I noticed that if I on reshack and do it through the action tab it will not give me the error. But it doesn't seem to work cause it ends up not changing anything after I save it and Delete the orignal.. I have to wait till after I reboot in order to delete the orignal two files or else it won't let me.
kero said:
Okay try copying the files and saving them to your desktop. After that try to mod those files with windows file protection off. If you are able to do that then save the changes. Open up the area where the orignal file is delete it, and drag and drop the file in to the folder. That is how I ended up doing it. I would try and find a way just to send you my modded file so you could just replace it but I dont want to take any risks.
Note: once you are all done with getting it set up, you have to run the WFP patch again to turn WFP on again.
syphoner2002 said:
ok. I have done everything you have told me 100% to the T. But its still not letting me replace or delete the Shell32.dll and Msgina.dll in System32. It tells me that the file is in use. I tried it in safe mode as. I even tried renaming them and rebooting. But that didn't work. I hope you have a few more tricks up your sleeve...
tyu said:
what is regedit that u always refer to? where is it
kero said:
Okay well make sure that WFP if disabled, it sounds like you dont have WFP Pacthed. When you run the program you have to hit "Y" to tell it to run the patch, after you do that you have to restart your computer. If the patch it working then you will be able to go in to your two system file and edit them with out it giving you the crap of them being in use and all that. You should easly be able to delete the one, and drag and drop the other in its place.
If that method doesnt work, then you can try do download "the replacer" from the downloads menu here. enter the paths of the file you want replaced and it will replace them for you.
If that doesnt work then post again, and I'll see what other tricks I can give you from up my sleeve.
Download link for Replacer: http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/Replacer.zip
Replacer is another easy way to replace system files with your modified one. Suppose you downloaded a patched or customized system file and you need to replace existing file in your system with the new one.
Using "Replacer", you can simply drag-n-drop the default system file in its window and then drag-n-drop the new modified file. It'll ask for confirmation, press "Y" and you have done. Restart your system and it'll replace the default file with new one upon next reboot.
PS: You can also type the complete file path in Replacer window instead of drag-n-drop the file.
kero said:
I'm not sure what the "regedit" is you are refering to, I wish I could help you...
syphoner2002 said:
Using Replacer worked out great.. I just checked it and its running perfect.. Thank you very much Kero.
kero said:
No Problem, I'm glad I could help!
tyu said:
VG says : open REGEDIT and goto .................
what is regedit?????????
plz help!!!!!!!!
kero said:
I'm not exactally sure, It might be one of the programs like RegHack, or he might have just ment RegHack and typed regedit... either way you can check the downloads area. I posted the link in a post above this one...
Rajesh said:
REGEDIT is Registry Editor, from This You can edit any type of Registry in Windows i.e Related to Program, Startup, folder, style, etc
VG said:
Open RUN and type regedit and press Enter. It'll open Registry editor.

I really like your customisation pack, but i have one or two doubts:

What happened? Is there any problem with screensaver and styler?
Thanks

Can u give me this theme for xp........never mind if its a window blinds theme.....coz looks like its a .wba theme.....!!!
Thnx...!!
VG said:
^^ That theme is "AeroVG" which is a Vista theme.
Jugs said:
I think the Windows 7 and Vista styles are both ugly as hell. The XP theme was simple, yet clean cut and unobtrusive. Vista improved upon this, but the simplicity disappeared. This Windows 7 theme is just hideous. I'm on a 1920x1200 24" display, and the taskbar is as thick as my middle finger. The theme is just so bulky and too complex for my liking. Now that that's out of the way.. great job to you, AskVG, on creating this tutorial, it's very easy to complete.
Hmm.. I wonder what the Windows 7 'Basic' theme will look like. *pukes*

man can u plz put all these transformation in on simple bricopack or a transfoermation pac k plz it s so complicated!!!!!plz!!!!:S

Carlos said:
I'm running WIN XP PRO SP3
When I try to use "WFPS" to change the Progress Dialog & Shutdown / Log off Dialog Box
The change is there when I use Resource Hacker but after reboot is back to the default?
VG said:
^^ Try Replacer to replace files.
@anthony
Make sure "Common Tasks" are enabled in your Folder Options.
Carlos said:
Yes "Common Tasks" are enabled.
How would I use "Replacer" to change the files for Shutdown / Log off Dialog Box change?
VG said:
^^ Save the file at some other location and then use Replacer to replace original file with your modified one.
Carlos said:
I've just tried that and when I rebooted it was back to the original again??
Carlos said:
Now does having a "Theme" have anything to do with it?
I switched over to log in a a guest, to the default XP.
When I clicked on the "log off" the change was there.
But when I clicked on "shut down" the change wasn't present?
And the Windows 7 Desktop context menu is not showing either?
My apologies for all the questions!
Carlos said:
The "shell32" is set but "msgina" is the one that keep going back to default?
WFP is disabled, I've tried replacer & resource hack a number of times?!
VG said:
^^ Replace the "msgina.dll" file in "Windows\System32\Dllcache" folder also. This folder will be hidden.
Carlos said:
OK, I followed what you said, went into "Windows\System32\Dllcache" threw the "run" cmd.
changed msgina.dll to the one I modded. After reboot in resource hacker it stays changed & in DLLcache folder it's changed but when I click on either log off or shut down the default XP still apears?!
Now would having a "Aero Theme" threw WindowBlinds be causing this problem??
Once again apologies for all the questions & bugging you!!
Carlos said:
I checked System32 folder and there's 2 msgina.dll files.
One is msgina.dll and the other is msgina_original.dll
Could that be the problem?
VG said:
^^ WindowBlinds skins contain their own shutdown dialog boxes. Thats why you are not getting your customized dialog box.
Carlos said:
Yes there it is, Thank you once again for your help!!

nvzeal said:
well it's kinda annoying to see the whole thing is kinda long ... i mean the first time i saw it ... i closed the page o.o
well you could upload the edited Shell32.dll file for XP so as in to save everyone from the resource hack ... or something like that ... just a suggestion though
well anyways .... really nice tutorial here ... and kudos on the new visual style .. looks pretty much perfect
guess maybe you could try adding the small bar like thingy at the edge of the superbar
