Windows Vista and XP Themes
Windows Vista Base Theme: Simple and green are the words of the day for this wonderful theme. I like the combination of soft green, white and grey and the cool icons. Even the close, minimize, maximize buttons look simple but effective. It might be beneficial to add a cool looking wallpaper for this Vista theme but otherwise this design is a perfect 10.

Windows Vista Terminal Theme: This is a nice unique theme with an awesome redesigned windows. I really like the colorful circle start orb and the butterfly button on the all the windows. I think adding the different colors like black and white really makes this Vista theme stand out. The background is a little boring but that can be changed easily.

Windows Vista Bauhaus Theme: Another great minimalistic theme design. This wonderful Vista theme is simple, clean and looks great. I like the look of the windows and ubiquitous buttons. The taskbar is slick and the start button is as well. The navigation buttons are integrated perfectly into the browser and everything flows so well.

Windows Vista NOOTO Theme: This is a nice theme that has a nice red background with huge white icons. In general I like this theme but it isn’t that heavily modified. In general, everything looks nice with minimal surprises. If you’re bored with your stock Vista theme then you might want to consider this theme.

Windows Vista TheImpact Theme: Now this is a modified Vista theme. This theme is seriously different with so many changes you have to see it to believe. I’m usually not a big fan of dark themes but this is amazing. All the mouseover effects are awesome and the icons go perfectly with the whole theme. The start menu and button look so polished and professional. This theme must have taking a lot of time to create, but it’s well worth it.

Windows Vista The Alduin 2 Theme: It’s been a while since we’ve had something worth sharing but the wait is finally over. This cool Vista theme brings a nice low graphic quality design to the high quality flashy Vista desktop. I love the simple folder icons and wonderful grey color for the topbar and taskbar. The start button looks like a real button and the background is mysterious. I like how the wallpaper blends from the taskbar to the actual image with diagonal lines. I really like the soft touches like the light blue buttons.

Windows Vista The Q theme: I don’t know why they named this Vista theme Q but this sleek design has become a hallmark of these creators. So if you’re looking for a grey monotone looking Vista theme then here you go. The attention to detail is what really makes this theme standout. There is no corner untouched. Wonderful job.

Use Rafael Rivea's (guy from Within Windows blog) UxStyle Beta, putting the file(s) in [drive]:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes.
UxStyle works with any version of Windows operating systems (both x86 and x64 as well).

Today, x86 (same as x86-32) refers to 32-bit architecture.

I doubt another thread is warranted.
