Thank you! Amazing video, really made my personal computer hit that nostalgic feeling i was after. The vista aero theme just looks so much better than anything else.
awesome thank you!!! i just got windows 11 after having a vista computer for so long... and i despised the look of it, i don't like change, unless i feel it benefits me :) so nice to have what i am used to back!!
Always make a restore point before making ANY modifications to your laptop's operating system. Also, if you don't want to pay for Window Blinds, you can try and use the aero lite theme!
I had already done everything I wanted before I watched this video but I could never get the task bar right, the first few minutes of this video gave me what I needed so thank you very much.
I actually use the original sidebar from a Vista install lmao. It's said to be unstable but I haven't experienced anything that would break it, and you can even add additional gadgets to the sidebar directory.
Very great! If you want to make a improvement video for this theme, i'd recommend installing gadgets for Win8 to Win11 or whatever. They're classic windows 7 gadgets and include a sidebar to help.
Amazing video, however, when i open up folders, the text is black and it blends into the black background, how do i make the text white please? thank you. Also, the taskbar seems to be a bit hit and miss, the tabs seem to overpopulate where as Windows 11 condenses them into the pinned versions.
Vista was great. What gave it the bad reputation is the millions of computers they sold with 512mb of a ram running the OS. If you had a better PC at the time it worked very well.
i really wanted to have windows vista at my windows 11 laptop acer aspire 3 but when i see that the app that can customize the blinds is need to play within like days or months but its ok to have windows vista at my laptop i really love windows 7 and vista
Am I the only one having a problem with the Retrobar? So on the left I can see Windows Explorer and Firefox, but on the right I can't see any symboles, just the Show Desktop icon and the language.
That is a nice idea and no offense but who on earth exactly would actually want to make their pc look like Windows 8.x? Windows 8 and 8.1 were some of the worst products Microsoft made in history not to mention they also both very negatively changed Windows forever from what people like me see so those are two reasons those OSes don't really want to be remembered.
How long can you use windows blinds 11 when you buy it? I wanna know and if it's 30 days can you tell me the most similar website that is windows blinds 11 but for free? Please THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO KNOW!
Great video! I'm considering trying WindowBlinds to apply the Windows Vista glass borders but I already have DWMBlurGlass installed, which gives a similar glass look on Win11's default window borders. Do I need to disable/uninstall DWMBlurGlass in order for the 3rd party Aero theme to work?
Update: I've downloaded and installed WindowBlinds and also installed the Vista theme shown in this video but I'm getting a dark frame around the explorer windows, instead of the black fade, is this normal?
Mid Tutorial At best, You forgot to uninstall all of the applications that weren't in vista, such as windows defender paint and all others, forgot to replace windows media player 12 with 11, forgot to replace the paint and notes, and wordpad with vista versions, need to use 8gadget pack for desktop gagdets, use 2013windows 8.1's vista Icon pack, use the Vista like skin for openshell form classic shell's forum, forgot to change the file explorer icons, and adjust and disable man system settings. Lastly, customizer god for the other tray icons, and all of the games and other classic taskbar flyouts, do that form winaero tweaker.

Always make a restore point before making ANY modifications to your laptop's operating system. Also, if you don't want to pay for Window Blinds, you can try and use the aero lite theme!
you can also simply reinstall it everytime the trial ends and put a different email
Aero lite looks like a terrible fat square icon thing
brokey
@@fytuf What do you think, everyone can read your ip-adress, so if you do this, they will find out using your ip-adress.
@@itsdaan3022 they literally dont care lol
I might not like vista as an os, but, it looks gorgeous!
for real
@@Marques355 fr fr
Vista was the sexiest OS ever
I had already done everything I wanted before I watched this video but I could never get the task bar right, the first few minutes of this video gave me what I needed so thank you very much.
Its recomended to use 8gadget pack instead
i used it tho it was better
I actually use the original sidebar from a Vista install lmao. It's said to be unstable but I haven't experienced anything that would break it, and you can even add additional gadgets to the sidebar directory.
@@dr.aurion Yeah, so i do now with my computer.
Instead of what?
How could I do this without having to pay for window blinds 11
If anyone downloads the start bar be sure to auto hide your old one if you want windows to go full screen
THANK you. Was wondering about this lol.

Thanks You very much for the files in description! Now my new Computer Windows 11 looks Vista

What could I use instead of windows blinds 11
I am pretty certain that WindowBlinds will skin the Taskbar, so you can omit RetroBar.
Dude this is so sick i just wish I could keep windows blinds forever
Excellent tutorial, thank you!!
You're very welcome!
Does it uses a lot of resources?
Vista was great. What gave it the bad reputation is the millions of computers they sold with 512mb of a ram running the OS. If you had a better PC at the time it worked very well.
I mainly want my lockscreen (the first screen when choosing profiles) to be XP or vista. Is it possible?
why doesnt any of the aero features dont work on my pc. i have more than enough power to run it but it still keeps on disabling it. anyone help?
how do you extract the cursor file cause I can't at all, only thing is an internet shortcut.
thank u so much for this
You're welcome 😊
it looks AMAZING! My new favorite video.
Also i wanted Vista Aero not Vista Basic
Wow, thanks!
i really wanted to have windows vista at my windows 11 laptop acer aspire 3 but when i see that the app that can customize the blinds is need to play within like days or months
but its ok to have windows vista at my laptop i really love windows 7 and vista
Honestly it fits very well tbh because 11 just looks like a modern vista
The taskbar is really small. It doesn't look right. How do you make it bigger?
if you go to the advanced tab in the Retrobar settings there's a slider that lets you change the size.
Am I the only one having a problem with the Retrobar? So on the left I can see Windows Explorer and Firefox, but on the right I can't see any symboles, just the Show Desktop icon and the language.
Vista was such a good looking OS. Sadly it was released in that time that PC were still struggling with ram and dual core cpu were still too new.
For the next windows pack
You should do Windows 8 or 8.1 since windows 8.1 ended of support

dude windows 8 looks like an xbox or somthin
@@SamStuffz dont diss the xbox like that bro
@@frutigeraeronostalgia its ok, i like windows 8 now :D
so maybe that would be a compliment
my classic shell doesnt work with retrobar, but was working before i downloaded it. any help?
when i try to install the .inf file for the cursors it always opens in notepad, how can i fix this??
Hi, do you know a way to restore the vista icons?
How long can you use windows blinds 11 when you buy it? I wanna know and if it's 30 days can you tell me the most similar website that is windows blinds 11 but for free? Please THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO KNOW!
crack it
@@notjacob53 thanks bro
@@notjacob53 just use temp emails lmao
You skipped over how you lowered the start menu so there's no gap between it and the taskbar
Is the open shell thing free?
Yes, it is like it's brother Classic Shell
Yes
Windows 7 was the last windows to have any style.. now it looks very corporate and ugly
is there some other way to get the gadgets? it says for my that it's a trojan and it doent allow me to install

@@DidrickNamtvedt having the same error did u find a fix?
When doing this, the last step about the cursor there is no 2 files and just a meaningless download link
u need the vista icons still
thank you, but if i want to chage color, would be thta possible, and if yes, how
Why you use retro bar ? explorer patcher is better.
explorer patcher doesnt have the vista taskbar
how do i fix windowsblinds 30 days trial expired any tips on how to fix that issue
just reinstall it
if i dont want to have it anymore how do i turn it off
do make windows 7 look like windows xp
Where are the transparencies?
Windows Vista cursor doesn't work
Now i'm just missing one thing: The Longhorn Sounds (Which are actually from Samsung)
does this also work with windows 10?
Im not paying window blinds because i dont want
Hey, after those 30 days of free trial can i do it again with other email or something? Are there any methods to extend this free trial?
i went throughso much trying to do this on windows 10, i just said fuck it, installed windows 11, just so i could make it look like windows vista 😭
Does it work properly?
and the navigator windows? why is not looking windows vista?
Plik z kursorami pobiera się pusty:(
All that is missing is Windows Live Messenger!
hey there, the taskbar only apears on 1 of my screens is there a fix for this?
right click on your taskbar, go to properties, press show on multiple displays
@@goldsparkzz thx...
I can't find the settings bar for openshell
found it.
is this save??
Does it contain viruses and other types of malwares?
nope, I tried it and it's safe don't worry
But Windows Blinds has only a 30 days trial...
It looks very good but between the Taskbar and the Start Menu is a big gap that is very annoying
in new versions you can change size of taskbar i changed it and it was right perfect
where can i get window blinds (cracked)
I wouldn't suggest using cracks as they can install malware on your computer and cause serious damage.
i can't open retrobsr!
i should restart the computer
Some of us can NOT afford windowblinds
then use DWMblurglass
No use revert8plus
thank you
You're welcome
