As you all know Windows 7 looks quite different from Vista. It contains an improved start menu, taskbar and also totally revamped Shellstyle in Windows Explorer.
The most impressive thing in Windows 7 is the redesigned taskbar. It shows a bit large program buttons which shows only program icons and not their names.
If you are impressed with Windows 7 theme and want to use it in Windows Vista, then you have come to right place. "DJ Gx" has released a new updated theme for Windows Vista which can provide the same Windows 7 interface. Following is a screenshot which was taken from Windows Vista while using this theme:
You can download the theme using following link:

1 can i make the icons on taskbar labels bigger
2 what is the orb patch for
Nikolaj said:
just tested it on a danish comp and it works but DO NOT USE THE SHELL 32.DLL OR THEMECPL.DLL INCLUDED
