VistaMizer by M. Hoefs
VistaMizer - Give your Windows XP the Vista look!
(thanks to Easter.2010 @ Wilders)

Small File size! VistaMizer is optimized to get over compatibility issues and therefore ensures that the system doesn't become unstable due to the changes. And if you're not satisfied by the results or simply want to go back to XP, you have the possibility to return to your old system by running VistaMizer's uninstallation feature.

Program features:
- Modifies your own system files
- Free choice of the files you want to change
- Multilingual support
- Compatibility check during installation
- Backup of the original system files
