If you were a Windows XP user you are probably familiar with the drab theme that was included. Vista improved with the Aero look, but still didn’t offer much variety, and after a few weeks of usage, even Aero gets dull to look at. The good news is you don’t have to settle for just one looks for Vista, as there are many Vista themes available to download and use.
To use these Vista themes, you will first need to get WindowBlinds. This is the absolute best way to change the Vista visual style to one of thousands that are available for download on sites such as WinCustomize.com. WindowBlinds doesn’t hack or modify system files, so it’s completely safe to use.
Once installed, you have an easy to use interface to browse and apply the skins you download. Other features are included such as changing the themes colors, adjusting blur and transparency, changing sidebar skins, and much more.
As mentioned before, there are literally thousands of Vista themes available for download. Below are just a few examples of some of my favorite skins that look great on Windows Vista.
