Vista Effect On XP?

[sethanie88]

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good ( lightweight ) program that created the Vista "window fade in/out" effect without using up all my memory. I know WindowFX from Stardock does that, but in order to run in decently you need a high-end graphics card ( which I don't have ). Any suggestions?

I have heard good things about the Vista Transformation Pack but I have not used it.

Does that include the fade effect? I'd prefer just a program that runs in the background...

It should. I would say that is your safest bet as it atcually changes the UI files for windows xp with ones from windows vista. That way you have the vista appearance but it is still a windows xp operating system.

i am very interested in this vista transformation pack,as you can read in my pc specs,i run 2 machines,one is on the internet,one is not,i was hoping the download would only be a file so i can test it out on the non internet pc first as i have visited some website reviews & some are not so good !!!!!!!!!! thanks guys

It is stable as before i atcually had vista on the laptop for a short time i had xpmce running on that utility with no problems. Works quite stably in my opinion. Just be sure to follow all of the instructions in the installer to a T and you should have no trouble.
