I would rate this software overall as 2/5 stars.
It does a fairly good job of emulating the Vista look under XP, but may cause problems unless your XP machine is entirely up to date before you install.
The memory requirement is much higher than the default XP GUI however, taking almost 100MB more memory just when idling.
The GUI is also slightly less responsive, and suffers from a few performance issues.
Do not expect Vista features however, this only skins the XP GUI, it does not add Vista-specific features (such as the menu-ized address bars).
The uninstaller also suffers from a few issues, I have used different system snapshot programs to confirm that not all modified files may be replaced, and some Registry entries are not restored either. I recommend that you create a restore point before you install.
All-in-all, it was fun to play around with, but I would not recommend it for everyday use. |

I downloaded it & found out that it consumes a lot of Memory.After installation was done ,i found it great at first.Cahnges all XP icons to Vista Icons,Start Menu was also Vista like that came second to windows XP if u have XP.The Cursor also was changed to Vista liked,The homepage of its creator is in german Languag,I dont take the risk of installing other applications it has which i already have.Such as Media Player,Offices etc.Then checked all my folders & files & it doesnt function the way it does before.sometimes when i open a folder it keeps on popping my Firefox redirecting me to a site,that obviously try to hacked my computer.So i finally run my Antispyware & antivirus software then uninstalled this,It has a virus & lots of spyware,malware & diallers/trojans.I recomend to download it at your OWN RISK.Whats the used of beautifying you XP,if this one will cause you trouble. |

The only problem with the Vistamizer is the broken codes. When you try and click on the start menu it partially freezes, capturing the window you were previously in, and keeping a small section of the start screen on top, the other half behind other functioning windows. There is also another slight glitch with the start menu, at the very top, in the same column with options like Control Panel, My documents, My computer etc, a small black square appears. This may have just been my computer, but i had to change back to the XP theme, which i was quite upset about as the Vistamizer theme was so amazing.
Hopefully this glitch can be easily resolved.
Thanks,
