I actually got the skin/icon package. with my version you can pick if you just want the icon or the skin. I’m not sure if it’s the same with the newer versions.

I have uploaded the icon pack on my googlepages. So you can download the pack now. Sorry for any inconvenience.
#srinivas - The instruction is on this post.
This just completes the package, just last night……i downloaded A Vista Visual Style, that makes my taskbar look like Vista…taskbar [ without the transparent thingy ] .. So I downloaded Transbar.. a free software…. that adds transparency to your taskbar.. . Another program called YzShadow.exe just google this two softwares……Their both free.. It adds transparency to your startup menus & drop down menus….
And than to top it off with Vista Icons……My actually thought i downloaded Vista OS …HA HAHAHA HA LOL..
aNEWAY
Thanks for the Vista icons packs
very good so good
The vista icons r pretty good. How about putting it to the limit- getting some that moves, and some vista dialoge messages including logon\off ,transfer,confirm delete etc. , if its not too much to ask for. thanks
