Problem changing theme: Vista

Post by Niinou13 »

Automatically translated from French.

Hi everyone.

So let me explain my problem.
I'd like to change the visual appearance of my Windows Vista Home Premium: Service Pack 2 (to be precise ;) ).
Already, I'd like a site where I could find a theme I like and if you have any nice themes to suggest to me I'm interested :D
Official or not I don't care ;)
Just if possible tell me what steps I need to take so that everything works normally.
Because when I download a theme myself and apply it, once I restart it puts me back on the default windows theme...

Hoping one of you can help me :S
Thanks in advance.

The official themes are available on microsoft's site, however these are only variations of themes already available on vista, nothing to write home about.

Unofficial themes require patching vista.
To do that you need a tool like VistaGlazz.

I recommend checking out the excellent site CrystalXP.net where you'll find themes, tools and info to customize your vista.

By theme, I guess you mean visual styles ... and as Ayatus suggested to you, Crystal XP is a great site for customizing your windows!

Here are the themes available for a vista ---> https://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/fr.scat.14.html

There you go ... we're still around if you need more help ...

And if you feel like it, I invite you to go through the introduction section of this forum ;)


Edit: Here, I found even more themes ---> https://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/fr.cat.7.html

I agree about the performance losses and I'll add the risks of instability.
But hey, everyone is free to trash their OS as they please.
