VistaGlazz 2.1 - Easily Modify Windows Installation, with this software you can make your system look like OSX, Windows 7 or whatever visual style people create. Since the release of Windows Vista people have been seeking for ways to customize the look and feel to their own taste. With VistaGlazz you can patch your system and enable the activation of custom visual styles, much like the UxPatcher for Windows XP.

Another option made possible by VistaGlazz is patching the default Windows Aero style. Normally a window turns to black when maximized, the glass disappears. After using this application, the windows remain transparent even when you maximize them.

This is app is extremely simple, but performs an essential and possibly complicated task for Windows Vista customizers. It patches several DLLs that control Vista’s appearance so that users can alter Vista to their liking. It’s also freeware, making it a viable workaround for those who want to tweak Vista but don’t want to pay for it. It also changes Aero so that it stays in effect on maximized screens.

There’s not much else to the program. It absolutely will not work with Vista Service Pack 1 Release Candidates. If you install Vista Glazz before removing the SP1 RC, simply uninstall the app and then SP1, and then reinstall the program. The interface is basic, there are no skins provided, and the EULA gives off the vague stench of unfounded fear.

VistaGlazz 2.1 Features :

• Cleaned up a lot of the code in our solution, simplified the patching routines. This should result in better stability and prevent those VistaGlazz stopped working messages.
• Added a commandline utility that should give you the ability to perform most of the patching / unpatching actions without user interface
• Moved the diagnostic application to a separate executable, decreasing memory usage and making it easier to find
• Upgraded the setup, added a few .NET framework checks and better Windows 7 support

Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a simple solution to a potential nightmare, Vista Glazz may be the first step you’ll need to take to pretty up Vista just the way you want.
