Nice work.

Side note: I've been to your site before, you bailed me out of the YM ad issue with your patch. Thanks. Welcome to OSNN.

^^ You don't need to use hacked DLL files. Just use UXTheme patcher which patches your own Windows files or you can use Tuneup Utilities to apply the theme. Its absolutely safe.

^^ Welcome. You can use my VistaVG icon pack which can change your XP icon into Vista one:

Also you can follow my following tutorial to transform XP into Vista completely:

I hope you'll like them.

Yep. There are 2 versions, one for x32 icon size and the other for x48 icon size. So please switch between them from Appearance tab.
