Can anyone help me? I recently purchased a new pc with Windows Vista installed. My old pc used XP. The appearance theme I prefer is the "Rose Large" in windows classic. This theme is not shown in the windows classic menu on my new pc. Is there anyway I can access this theme with Vista? Thanks.
Use XP theme in Vista?

I know there is a way, but i cant think of it.
You could try downloading windows blinds or something..... Hmmmm.... I KNOW there is a way. Someone else here will know.
Try searching google for "windows xp themes for vista" or something along those lines. Should point you in the right direction.

Any way to use XP themes on Vista? - Neowin Forums
see the last post about the software....
Ignore that - that software still cannot be found, and it not free.

Hey no problem. I think johngalt may be right though. I am not sure if you can. I wonder if you can just download a theme that looks like vista.... I know AlienGuise from Alienware can change your taskbar, and you can download additional themes, so you might try that.

Another possibility is to just pick another theme that is on vista. Your choice.
