NoLiMiT06 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Ok I am getting tired of the Default Vista theme and I would like to go back to some of my old xp themes that I had that looked and were easier to use. I am not talking about Vista look a likes or WB themes. I just want to know if there is a way to use them or not. Thanks ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/552342-just-a-quick-theme-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleSpellbinder Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 The only way I know of that will allow you to use XP themes (.msstyles) in Vista is using this tutorial: Converting .msstyles for use with WindowBlinds on Vista Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/552342-just-a-quick-theme-question/#findComment-588462464 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danrarbc Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 How is it on system resources in Vista? It's not like it's tough on system resources in XP in the first place, but it's every bit as quick as Aero itself.

Island Dog Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 WindowBlinds using system resources in Vista is not an issue really. There is a free trial available so you can check it out.

I liked the old XP default theme, wish there was a way to use it on vista. Now that the coolness of vista, xp, win200, winme, win98, win95 has worn out i like to revert back to windows 1.0 look.
