VTP 8 is finally here!! Vista Transformation Pack 8 by Windowsx is a fully-automated skinning & app modification pack to make your XP look like Vista. Changes all icons, cursors, the Visual Styles, the Explorer window & adds the Aero Glass effect!
In this newest iteration, although no major changes were brought about, all bugs have been fixed & all 3rd party apps have been updated. & don’t forget to install WindowBlinds 6 & Styler to make the most out of VTP 8!
