Aero Vista Inspirat Pack for Win8.1

Post by Ryan »

As the name implies, this is a transformation pack of sorts that gives Windows 8.1's interface an Aero fit and finish. It isn't based on any one OS in particular, but it mostly takes inspiration from Windows Vista, and to a lesser extent, Windows 7.

Special credit to @ImSwordKing for the branding resources among other tweaks, Yoritaka and yash12396 for the themes, and @oamd for the WMP11 installer. Moreover, achieving this look would not be possible without the work of bigmuscle's Glass8 application. Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows Aero are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
