Its an update over previous VistaVG theme.

This theme has been made for Windows XP users who want to have "Windows Vista" look in their Windows. This theme can make your Windows XP look like Windows Vista.

"VistaVG" is the first Windows Vista look-a-like theme for Windows XP and almost all other themes available on net are based on it.

  • Hey man.. thanx... it works great.. only one small isssue.. in the start menu, the tab containing My Computer, My documents, etc (the right tab of the start menu) gets partly overlapped by the left tab. I'm using a widescreen monitor.. is that the cause of the issue.

    Nevertheless, great job buddy!
