extract the DVD, look with a Reseditor /Hexeditor into these Resources :

authui.dll ( the vista orb animation after bootup )

imageres.dll ( all "new" glassy 256x256 icons, logonscreen and more )l

shell32.dll (old xp and nt icons, shell variants, explorerstyles )

spwizimg.dll (setup background screens)

spwizres.dll (setup icons)

setup.exe ( the Vista DVD "Box" icons )

If you mess those dlls up, your OS is f**cked, so make backups.

If you edit the png - icons you need a graphic app that supports alpha transparency in layers.

for post-installation customizing : all these are in \Windows\System32
