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.

Aero32 (Aero theme for 32x icon size)
Aero48 (Aero theme for 48x icon size)

Basic48 (Basic theme for 48x icon size)

3. Titlebar color in "Aero" style has been changed as well as the fonts.

    ^^ You don't need any software to download the file. Simply click on the link and save it to your system. You'll need WinRAR or 7-zip to extract the content of downloaded RAR file.
