I have created this theme for “Windows Vista Basic” users who can’t use “Aero” in their systems and are forced to use the Vista Basic theme. I have tried to make it similar to Vista Aero theme.

HOW TO USE:

1. Download “VistaGlazz” and run it to allow Vista to use 3rd party themes:

Website

2. Extract the contents of RAR file to:

%windir%\Resources\Themes\

3. Now right-click on Desktop and select “Personalize” and then click on “Theme“. Now select “Vista Black by Vishal Gupta” from the drop-down box and then Apply it.

NOTE FOR VISTA AERO USERS:

It’ll apply the Aero theme by default. If you want to use the “basic” version which I made specially, then change it from:

[Windows Color and Appearance -> Open classic appearance properties for more color options]

And select the Basic version from the list and then apply.

Don't release/distribute modified versions of this theme without my permission!!!
