PLease help me create a neat desktop.

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi, I want the theme of vista. I want the icons of Alienware, like provided in this image. If I just download from the alienware site, I can't get the start icon of the vista one. I want my xp to look like a alienware vista. I just bought object deskltop ultimate, installed programs, and am ready to begin my customizing. Any help please?

One post is all that is needed on the same question.  Also, it is easier to see what has been suggested.

I believe what he wants is the Vista start BUTTON, not the menu, but if he wanted the Vista menu on XP, he could get ViStart.

DavidMendez - I think what you would like is going to be impossible.  The Alienware site bundles their programs as exe files, so it's not as simple as just unzipping a file and moving the Vista start button to the XP version, and that skin is encrypted so even if you COULD extract the images, they're uneditable.

The only way you're going to get what you want is to buy a Vista operating system and put it on your computer.  Sorry.

Edited to say, David, I think I found a solution for you, and have sent you an e-mail with instructions.  Hope this helps.
