Hi all, I was just curious whether anyone had any good recommendations for changing the appearance of Vista. I have the Premium Home version and will openly admit, that I hated Vista when I got it. I don't mind it now, its just the 'ugh' appearance I'm not happy with.

Any suggestions or ideas would be well received.

Thanks!

Are you saying you prefer the old windows look or you just want something other then Vistas default look?

Personally I rather leave it as it is...
It the DREAM SCENES that are cool and worth changing :)

You can install Vista Glazz and make your Vista look more glassy Laughing

There are few themes available that you can use after you install Vista Glazz, like this Windows 7 M3 Theme
