Decided to install Vista on the VM yesterday and made a bit of a mix from Vista Windows 7 and Windows 8 plus added a new reworked start menu and explorer frames, turned out pretty nice I think.

Included in the theme are all the original Vista Wallpapers and the original Start orb that you can apply using Start Is Back.

Other Programs you will need:

Start Is Back (by Tihiy) Brings back the Start Menu http://startisback.com/#download-tab Free 30 Day Trial, $3 for 2 licenses

Aero Glass installer all in one for 32bit and 64bit OS, includes AGTweaker (ORelio) (Mod Tusticles)

Thanks for all your comments, I just updated all the Windows 8 theme threads to add a registry file for the Window Metrics, in Windows 7 when you apply your theme in Personalization the Window Metrics for the border Width Caption Button Size and so on are applied but on Windows 8 I can get the metrics to apply if I test with Windows Style Builder but they will not apply when you select the theme from the personalization screen, what this means is that all the themes I have made for Windows 8 so far are not looking the way I have intended them, so now I have provided a registry file to manually change the Window metric settings.

Once you have applied the Window Metric reg file you will need to log off and then log back on again to take effect.

Not an 8 user but I applaud this work on Windows newest.
What you have sure has alot more appeal than the box version, so hats off to your one-up-man-ship over M$...
Thanks and keep up the great work..
