RR_Trials Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) Ok, don't want to turn this into a slagging sesh, and i don't want to brake any rules so please remove this topic if it is in any violation of the rules.I basically have had a spin on my step sis's new windows Vista and it dose feel pretty good, i have a skin that seems to be pretty good, but it doesn't give me the glass affect application boarders or the scrolling through applications affect (flip 3D).So.. Dose anybody know of a decent skin that is pretty much dead on the feel of vistaBefore anyone says, i don't want to fork out lots of money for it, but aparently you can get it pretty cheap if you have XP and you upgrade?Let the discussion begin...Thanks in advance, Rorz!

Cap Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Is vista rubbish for support for programs and such at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR_Trials Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Is vista rubbish for support for programs and such at the moment?Aparently so, but im not worried about that as if i get a realy decent skin it will work like XP and look like Vista...

Cap Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Nope. Everything i use works.Cool was just repeating what i heard, as with any new OS its going to have its flaws but i'm sure any will be rectified. I'll leave upgrading from xp for now myself but will look into it as some point in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Everything on my dad's pc with Vista works fine except for a few of my brother's old games.Personally I don't like the Vista skin/ interface at the moment. It looks pretty but I find it a pain to use after 5 or so years of XP.Performance seems good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Anyone tried the 64 bit edition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I've got links to a few skin programs that will make it look virtually the same, it also sort of zooms out, puts into a stair type thing and lets you scroll through windows at an angle when you press alt and tab...Gimme a sec and i'll get em? They're clean, and legal (pretty sure they are anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Can you screen shot it please? I've got a feeling that's the one i was gonna link you to.I'll get the alt tab thing for you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 dunno what you are after really, not read the whole thread,but if you have windowsblinds i think this is about as close as you'll get.http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/343658...Fwindowblindsxp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Can you screen shot it please? I've got a feeling that's the one i was gonna link you to.I'll get the alt tab thing for you though.I have an alt tab thing, but it doesn't do it like vista, because it fades to a Grey background and i want it to stay as what is in the background of my PC like vista dose if you get what i mean.Also I'm looking for a sort of see through affect on the boarder of my open application windows like on vista...Cheers, Rorz!P.s I'll do a screen shot now.
