Here is my current Windows 7 themed Windows XP SP2 desktop.

Hit download for full view, its huge (4320 x 900 px).

To theme it, I followed the tutorial at [link] so I guess I owe ~FediaFedia some credit for the awesome theme! :D

Also thanks to ~TSR-Pr (tsr-pr.deviantart.com) for the Styler ([link]), it looks great! :D

Software used: WindowsBlinds, Styler, and Iconizer ([link]).

I love this theme! But the ONLY thing I can't get to look right is the start button - no matter what icon and theme settings I use, the start button is cut off unless I re-organize the taskbar items so that my Quicklaunch bar is overtop of the application icons.... any suggestions?

Nice desktop but the link to AskVG tutorial is broken. You should remove the extra , from the end of URL.

Correct URL - [link]

Hey, looks great at the moment! :D
Why don't you use ViStart instead?

I actually got it working perfectly today!! I'm so happy :D I guess I just needed to restart the machine after applying the visual change, but it looks perfect now.

I'll re-post the pic! ;)

I pulled it together using Styler and by switching using WindowsBlinds for using a Windows XP theme, which I applied using the UX Theme patcher.

Looks great now! :D

Personally, I prefer WindowBlinds....

Me too, but WindowsBlinds was having problems, and this theme worked no problem, so might as well go for it right? :)

If your intention is to use Windows on a Mac computer, you should get bootcamp instead. VMware Fusion hasn't been made to be fully operational on its own since it share video card memory and virtual memory with the Mac.
