Vista Transformation Pack - with their slick user interfaces and smart icons - almost always look and feel better than previous versions. Windows Vista too takes a quantum leap over older Windows XP or Windows 2003. People simply love Vista's new Aero theme and its intelligent utilities with friendly sidebars and widgets. But if you don’t want to buy Vista or take time to get used to it, you can still enjoy some of its most appealing features thanks to the Windows Vista Transformation Pack. This easy to use software instantly transforms your Windows XP / 2003 into a more visually appealing interface. Windows Vista Transformation Pack (WVTP) is a great one stop shop install for a complete makeover of your Windows XP. It takes minimal disk space, hence it will not harm your PC performance..
Pros :
If you wish to continue taking advantage of XP’s proven stability and its widespread accessibility, yet you don’t want to miss out the Vista feel, WVTP is your free ticket to enjoy the best of both Windows. If, on the other hand, you are very much keen on adopting Vista but you need time to adapt to it, WVTP acts like a trial so you can get used to the Vista way. A ‘Vista-ized’ version of your dependable XP would be characterized by futuristic looking :
It is only natural to get addicted to your current user interfaces and icons. Changes do take time to seep in. You may initially feel at a loss when WVTP rearranges your Windows system files and the display of your icons. Moreover, you should bear in mind that WVTP does not change the core functionality of your Windows but merely the visual aspect of it. If you anticipate drastic changes (positive changes, of course) or a boost in performance, you will be disappointed. WVTP barely goes beyond the looks.
Conclusion :
WVTP does give you a detailed warning at the time of installation. You can even see it changing the XP components, so you can always choose to quit installation and the process will be reversed. Ideally, you should create a system restore point before installing WVTP, even though such packs are usually harmless. All in all, taking the trouble of downloading and installing the free Windows Vista Transformation Pack is worth the Vista experience.

First of all, I want to thank Xcilion for making such a tight skin. But what I’m doing is composing a tutorial for the people who were just like me, who were saying, what in the world to do with all this stuff? I haven’t been using this program for long, its only been a couple days, but I have been reading up on it for a while. I have been looking at all the nice skins and was wondering how in the world did they get that done? In my eyes all I saw was a bunch of icons but no info on what to do wit them.
So then common sense kicked in and told me to look at the default theme that comes with the program, and take a look at some of the setup that was there. Then BOOM! It all hit me, I think I almost kinda sort figured out how to use this program. So here is the steps I did to get my desktop to what you see in the screenshot. Just use this as example to get your desktop up and running, I believe this should be close to use towards most themes out there, im not sure, but take a shot!
First Step : Create a New theme. To do this you load up WA Advance and Desktop, then tap and hold on the desktop. Go to Theme, then Click on Create at the bottom left of your screen. This should take you to a screen to name your theme, so name it what ever you want, in my case I name it Vista Portable. Then hit the check mark in the top right, and that should take you back to the themes page, then select the theme in which you just named.
Second Step : Now that you have selected the theme, you should now have a blank desktop with just a background and the start bar at the top. Now in my case, I like to have the today bar at the bottom, this is solely up to you. To activate the Today Bar at the bottom, just tap and hold on desktop and click on Show Todaybar. Then you shall see the bar pop up.
Third step : I like the idea of having the sidebar on the desktop with the clock on top, so lets add that in now. What you do is, Tap and Hold on desktop, click on New, click on Dock, and this should take you to the screen to build the dock. For background choose the “sidebar” picture located in the Sidebar folder provided to you when you downloaded the theme from the website. So in my case, I have the files I downloaded for the them on my storage card, so my file is found in: \Storage Card\Windows Vista – WAD\Sidebar\ (yours may be different, just locate it from where ever you saved the files at. Now you want to select “Right” under the Dock to Edge Menu, and name the dock what ever you want, In my case I named it “Sidebar” Then click the checkmark in the top right corner.
Fourth Step : Now you want to add the clock to the dock. Tap and Hold on desktop and select, New then Analog Clock. Its gonna ask for the “Clock Face” Select the one that’s in the “Windows Gadgets” folder , which is inside the folder where all the themes icons are. Then place it in your desired location.
Fifth Step : Add a My Computer device to your desktop. What to do is. Tap and Hold on desktop and select New – Button. For the Icon I chose to use the Mobile device which was located in the Hardware folder of the Icons. For Action, select “Toggle Dock” and leave the Control section blank for right now and Click the arrow at the Top Right to exit screen. Now Tap and Hold on desktop again and select New – Dock, and for this dock I chose the bexplorer Icon in the Windows folder, because it looks close enough to the My Computer folder on a Desktop PC. You want to make the Opacity to 100, Have Visible by default Checked, and a feature that I liked is the Hide this dock after executing a subitem, I have it checked, but this is solely up to you. Leave Dock to edge set as “none” and then name the dock to what ever you want, in my case I named it as My Documents. Now click the Checkmark in the top right corner. Now Tap and hold on the My Compter device you made previously and select properties, now go back to the Control section, and select the My Documents dock you had just created, then click the check in the top right corner. Now everytime you click on the My Computer Icon it should toggle the My Documents Folder you just created.
Sixth Step : Now to add some shortcuts inside the My Documents Dock you just created. Make sure the My Documents Dock is open, and Tap and Hold inside the dock. Select New – Shortcut, The first I made was the My Documents folder from my Storage Card. In the New - Shortcut Meny, Under Path To Executable, Select \Storage Card\My Documents (if this is the case for you), Then under Path to image, I chose the My Documents Folder under the Icons\Folders section in the Folder where the themes icons are located. Then Edit the text settings to your liking, then click on the checkmark in the Top Right Corner. Now do the same for any other folders you would like in the My Documents Dock. I chose, my Documents, My Videos, My Music and My Pictures, which are all linked from my Storage card. Line the icons to your liking, and lock them to dock.
* You can use the above steps to create your other docks (folders) to your liking. On my device I have :
My Computer (toggles) - My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, My Videos (Dock Name = My Documents, Dock Icon = Portrait Dock qvga (in default them folder) )
My Organizer (Toggles) – Contacts, Calendar, Messaging, Notes (Dock Name = PIM)
Control Panel (Toggles) – Links to Remove Programs, Sounds & Notifications, Today, Memory, System Info, T-Mobile Hotspot Login (Dock Name = Control Panel, Dock Icon= besettings) Then create shortcuts for Microsoft Office inside of Sidebar Dock and Place them to your liking.
That’s pretty much it kid-os, any questions or concerns, just let me know and I’ll help as much as possible.
*New Edit: I was playing around with the theme a little more and started to browse the forums a little bit, and realized something that I didnt think about, and not that its something to try to ot not try to take credit for, just something to add to the tutorial, so here goes:
As previously stated in the tutorial, for instance, to have the "My Computer" Icon on desktop to toggle the "My Documents" Dock (which has the My Music, My Pictures, My Documents, My Videos folders in it) instead of having the Desktop Icon to toggle the folder open and close, you can use the close button icon located in the windows folder of the theme, to actually close the folder for you. Heres the steps :
Tap and Hold inside of "My Documents" Dock, Select New-Button
For Icon, browse the windows folder of the theme, select the close button
Under action select "Hide Dock"
Under contorl select "My Documents"
Click checkmark in top right corner
Postion the close button that you just created right on top of the close button that is in the top right corner, now you are able to close the window just as you do on a windows desktop.
Just make the "My Computer" Icon on desktop to "open dock" and not "toggle dock" and that's it!
