Heres the links to all the Windows Vista wallpapers in HD res: Doing this and setting the lockscreen background to a vista wallpaper gives quite a nice result i think, see for yourself: The last modification i did to my OS was to disable the lockscreen to give that win7/vista logon feel, however normally this results in a blurred logon background which looks awful but luckily that can be disabled while also keeping transparency enabled within the system itself.
(I personally went with the microsoft store variant for convenience sake) Heres both the link to the original microsoft games along with the Vista specific ulitmate games:Īnd if you wish to install Movie Maker, heres the offline installer for it: Īs for dreamscene, you will need Lively Wallpaper. Also the original windows games and even movie maker to some extent, old but gold i say. I loved the ultimate extras that came with Vista, the games and dreamscene video wallpapers. So if that also interests you please read on. You can leave it as this, however i wanted to go the extra mile and add some Vista specific features that i personally rather miss. Once all is said and done you should end up with something like this: Heres the settings i used to achieve the glass effect, along with the windowsblind settings: Installing the wba file is as simple as right clicking and hitting install theme, for the open shell skin you have to put that into the C:\Program Files\Open-Shell\Skins folder. GitHub - Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu: Classic Shell Reborn.īelow is both the windowsblinds theme file and the corresponding start menu skin, along with the settings for both. Heres the link for windowsblinds 10, its paid software but its rather cheap and offers a 30-day trial so you can test drive it to see how it works out for you:īefore installing that though id suggest installing Open Shell first and get that all set up, I tried installing windows blinds first and then open shell but it decided to freak out explorer requiring a restart.
However im using LTSC 2021 which is based on 21H2, but your mileage may vary depending on which edition you use (not sure if home or pro 21H2 have any under the hood differences that might break compatibility). It was only a few days ago i found out that Windowsblinds 10 from Stardock actually still gives the aero effect providing the right theme is used, despite the website stating it works on 20H2 or below. Also figured this could be a combo thread for those who would like to show off their Windows specific themes/customizations and overlays etc.Ī few years back Glass8+ was the goto solution to get somewhat of a aero effect on windows 10, however support for that stopped once v1909 came out and hasnt been updated since.
Since Fox showed an interest in these customization in a different thread and mentioned how others might also like to know, figured i'd write a little guide.
