Yes-there are theme packs and such. But of course, they will only visually look like the OS..

Personally I don't trust any of these packs. Have had lots of people come to me with unbootable or broken PCs because they've been playing around with system files to change the interface.

If you really must, create a system restore point first!

If you really must, create a system restore point first! I can agree with that :waughh: I have a workshop windows XP that has a Vista theme pack - its stuck in that theme.

One day when I feel like it, I might reinstall the OS - it works fine, just all turns to custard if I try to alter the theme, been like that since vista first came out and people made themes------OOPS!

Yea, and usually even after performing a system restore the changes stay there, even though the makers of the pack say that a system restore will revert all changes!
