Windows 8 Professional Edition

Windows 8 Professional Edition is a cool theme pack designed for Windows Vista users who want to spice up their operating system with some slick Windows 7 features and the branding of Windows 8. If you're someone who loves customizing how your computer looks and you have a bit of experience with fan-made themes or replacing system files, this one's for you!

What’s Inside the Pack?

The theme pack comes in five different archives. Each archive holds one or more components that help transform your desktop. But heads up! Getting that Windows 8 look on your device can be tricky, so definitely check out all the Readme files included in the archives before diving in.

Visual Changes Galore

With Windows 8 Professional Edition, you'll see some big changes! It updates the theme and visual style of your OS, tweaking everything from the login screen to the taskbar clock and even icons in the system tray. To truly enjoy everything it offers, you'll need to install a tool like UxTheme Patcher for Windows Vista first.

A Fresh New Look

The new theme gives you a bunch of awesome Windows 8 wallpapers, a revamped start menu, and an ICONIZE taskbar thanks to ViGlance. This new taskbar sports quick launch options right near the system tray and introduces pick mode, which helps you manage desktops better.

Taskbar Tweaks

Your taskbar will now look more like what you'd see in Windows 7. Instead of showing text descriptions for open applications, it uses icons instead! Plus, similar apps get grouped together under one icon, making it easy to organize everything just how you like it.

Login Screen Makeover

The login and welcome screens take a cue from Windows Vista but come with fresh background images and updated text below the login area. And don’t forget about improvements to the taskbar clock; it now functions more like what you'd find in Windows 7!

Customize Further!

If you're feeling adventurous, Windows 8 Professional Edition also lets you change things like the About Windows Box or System Properties window to show that you're running Windows 8. Pretty neat, right?

Backup Before You Dive In

A quick reminder: since this application messes with several system files, it's smart to back up your data and create a restore point before using it. Using the Take Ownership registry file included in the installation pack makes modifying those system files much easier.
