NOTE: If you face shutdown button bug in startmenu, change the button settings to "Shutdown" instead of "Sleep" from Taskbar Properties. Also you'll need to replace the explorer.exe file included in the pack.
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:

How do I patch explorer for the windows 7 theme. For the shutdown buttons. What file do I put it under for the file to be patched
VG
^^ I think the modified "explorer.exe" file is already included in the theme pack.
PS
great thanks

Just one question - how to make my tray icons organized in two rows, like in Vista VG theme for XP?
VG
^^ It was built into the "SevenVG" theme. I have no idea whether Windows Vista supports it or not.

Hi,
Thanks for your great work! However, I have a question here:
Is it possible for me to adjust the taskbar to a thinner size? Like the one in vista.
