How Do I replace the Windows XP Start Button with Windows Vista Orb?
It is quite simple to do with ViOrb, a start button replacement for Windows XP. In the same way ViStart is a start menu replacement. It will give the start button a Vista look and feel.

We have already talked about getting the Vista start menu to Windows XP and this new enhancement will make the your start menu and task look similar to Windows Vista.
How many of you actual like the visual style for Windows Vista and have taken advice from us and transformed atleast some part of your Windows XP to look like Windows Vista? Do let us know through your comments.

“I’m using a Vista theme for XP that already has this Orb” – same with me as well.

If allowed to compare between ViOrb and ViStart, which one is better?
I am currently using the Vista Inspirant 2! :)

ViOrb is really good thing. +ViSplore +ViStart from Lee-Soft site my XP is looking like Vista at all :)
very nice program,,,thanks
imho, seven vg refresh rulz :D
What I really don't like, is that it puts an icon in the system tray. Vishal has the SevenVG theme which does it without cluttering up the tray, but I don't know how to do it without changing themes.
in have made another transformer pack for xp change into window 11
