It is a skin for the newest version of Vistart which you can get here.[link]
The file is a Vistart theme file. Simply doubleclick it and you are done with installing the new skin.
Any suggestions what should be changed or any other idea just tell me. I will try to make it.
Give it a try.


Vistart the free start menu for Windows 8 and older Windows versions got a "double" major update with lots of new and improved features. Vistart has of course all the features that you expect from a windows start menu and then some more. One of the best features in comparison of some paid alternatives like Start8 from Stardock, is of course that Vistart 8 is completely free while having more features and functionality.

Now ViStart comes with 3 Start Menu skins and 4 Start menu buttons pre installed and a completely renewed skin manager making Vistart the best customizable Start menu on the net.
New control panel with lots of extra features
Skip the Metro and boot directly to your windows 8 desktop
Right click on “Apps” search result to pin a app to the start menu.
Runs on Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista and XP
And over 20 new extra features and improvements

There are already some metrofied startmenus available around DA. Because they only can be used with the dektop function of Windows 8, this doesn't really makes sense. So i tried to make one which really matches the look of Windows 8 RTM desktop. As well as it is made almost for Windows 8, it can be used for all other OS since Windows XP and higher.

6.If you are a little bit familiar with Javascript you can do nearly everything with this.

How to use:
First of all download Avedesk 1.3 here[link]
Install it and run the proggy one times to get rid of the intro.
Than copy and paste the Avedesk exe to the main folder of this deviation.
Click on the exe and it should run.
If not the controlpanel of Avedesk will appear and you have to load the theme manually.

What you get is what you see.

Have a look at this wonderful tutorial by Vishal Gupta for the best way how to use this[link]

File contains: A Windows8 lookalike bootscreen (WindowsXP only. Sorry)
You need TuneUp Utilities to apply it. Free trial of TuneUp here[link]

A Windows8 lookalike logon (XP users only)

A Windows8 "startmenu" (Vistart). You need to download the Vistart.exe from
Lee-soft.com.[link] Download link included in the download. Lee-soft doesn't
allow the redistribution of their executables anymore. So there's no other way. Works with XP, Vista and Windows7.

A Styler skin which imitates the Ribbon UI of Windows8. Works on XP, Vista and Windows7 (Needs some patience and experience to use in Vista and Windows7).Styler software free available here[link]

A skin for Komalo's wonderful deviation BorderSkin(Glass borders) Works on Xp, Vista and 7.

A rightside shellstyle (XP only).

Windows8 Developer Preview wallpapers

Two different taskbar images for XP. Replace them using Reshacker.

A transparent overlay for the Windows8 version which can easily be added to any wallpaper you use.

A theme for SBar which gives you the squared preview like in Win8 and also the look of the systemtray.. Not really finished now. Will be updated soon. Works on XP, Vista and 7.SBar free available here[link] Don't download it from another place, because it is made for version 1.041.

T clock light which gives your taskbar clock the look of Windows8.

This is WIP. So stay tuned.

What are the benefits? No changes of your system. You can easily try it, and remove it, if you don't like it.
Check it out.

How to use? Download the exe from Leesoft. Unzip the content of this deviation and add the exe. Hover over the upper right corner of the startmenu brings up a little red square which opens the options menu. That's all.
If you want to have another targets for the buttons, simply edit the Settings XML file with the targets of your choice. In example you can add a shortcut to your Rainmeter to activate it from this menu. It's not the fast switch like the original, but better than nothing.

Screenshots are taken from my XP SP3 system.

Lightly updated graphics and XML files.
Leesoft doesn't allow the redistribution of their executables any longer. So you have to download the exe here [link] if you want to use this skin.

CAUTION
BE CAREFUL WHILE INSTALLING VISTART. NEVER, REALLY NEVER INSTALL BABYLON TOOLBAR. IT IS A TRASHY MALWARE WHICH POSSIBLY MESSES UP YOUR COMPUTER. GOOGLE FOR IT TO SEE WHAT I MEAN.

The latest version of CAD seems to be a little bit buggy in Windows7. So i included two files in the download. One for XP and one for Wi7.

For the Rainmeter users: Start CAD after Rainmeter.. So you don't have to close any Rainmeter tiles. CAD will cover it.

The latest version of CAD seems to be a little bit buggy in Windows7. So i included two files in the download. One for XP and one for Wi7.

For the Rainmeter users: Start CAD after Rainmeter.. So you don't have to close any Rainmeter tiles. CAD will cover it.

Most XP to 7 mods have the problem that the bottomshell is cut off while using Findexer. This gives away the illusion by first sight.
With this deviation you can make it look closer to the real thing.

This is a skin for BorderSkin by Komalo


Probably my last XP to 7 mod.

This is a Windows8 skin for BorderSkin.
File contains:
AeroLite skin for Explorer if you choose "Frost" as colour.
You can also use any other colour of your liking, if you dislike it.
There are two skins included. One with a fake bottombar with win8 buttons. And one without these fake buttons which can be used with the original XP "Statusbar".
Don't enable the Explorer skinning feature of BorderSkin.
A matching rightside shellstyle.dll (for XP) to make the look complete.
Vistart with AeroLite Design. You can also use another Vistart, if you use a Aero design.

This is a skin for BorderSkin byKomalo

What you see is what you get.
It's as close as possible to Win8

How to use:
1.I think everyone knows Vistart, so there is no further information needed.
2. BorderSkin by a wonderful tool which brings you the glass borders to your system.Install it, if you haven't done it yet.Unselect Enable Explorer skinning in the options menu.Change color to Clear and close the option menu.
3.Move the Ribbon folder to your Styler TB skins folder. Change the appearance by clicking the ? button. If you haven't styler: Styler software can be found here:[link]
4.To move your details pane to the right, move the shellstyle.dll to your Windows, resources, themes, your theme folder. Replace your existing shellstyle.dll with the one in the pack. Make a backup of your old one first. There's no risk doing this. It's only if you want to return to your previous style.
If you use Findexer, simply click the Organize button of the Ribbon explorer two times to bring it up. Don't be afraid. After closing the window and opening a new one your Findexer bar will be back again.Special thanks to for helping me with this.
5. To get the taskbar open your msstyle file with the included reshacker. Look for a file called TASKBARBACKGROUND in the Bitmap folder. Replace it with the one you like.Doubleclick your new msstyleThere are two taskbar backgrounds included in the pack.
Also there are two backgrounds in 1024x768 in the pack. Simply set them as wallpaper. If you have another resolution use the other wallpapers in the pack and let Windows resize them.
6.Install T clock light (included in the pack) to move your systray icons to the left to make the usertile icon visible, and give your clock the look of Win8. Set the font to Segoe Ui 9pix.By Dimensin/Position select 32.
Good luck.

Lots of very interesting stuff there. Highly recommended.

I'm not sure myself. You can use it if you still like to customise your XP in Win7 look. It gives you a nearly 100 per cent optical fake of the Win7 photoviewer (Except the blur). Basic functions like previous, next, slideshow and slideshow maximized are working. Fullscreenview without frames like the original in 1024x768. Higher resolutions with frames. Seems CAd can't scale the cover to bigger sizes, or i don't know how. Maximized mode without toolbar (like the original). Click on desktop for the menu.
Also it is a complete working CAD skin. All visible buttons have real functions. Fullscreen has the same restrictions as the slideshow.If anyone knows if this can be changed, please tell me.
There's a lot to try here. Check it out. Download contains two files. One for german users, and one for english users.
Sounds a little bit crazy, i know. It is done because it CAN be done.
