I know about XPize and Vize, but is there any such thing that'd make Vista look (at least partially) like XP? There is the built-in classic theme, which kind of makes using the system a BIT more bearable, but the icons and other stuff - ugh! So, is there anything for the stubborn ones like me?

Try WindowBlinds from Stardock.com. Once installed you can find thousands of themes to make your pc look like XP or even a MAC if you wanted. WinCustomize.com is the biggest holder of WindowBlinds themes, but you can also find some fantastic themes at DeviantArt.com.

Have any questions about the program, feel free to ask.
