I agree, I think Vista looked the best. So, with Retrobar, you just simply download it, run it and choose the Windows Vista Aero Theme. Nothing more you need to configure, but it does have some options you can look through.

With WindHawk, after you've launched it, you go to Explore and install a few mods. The ones I used were:
Disable Immersive Context Menus
Shrink Address Bar Height
Legacy File Copy
Non Immersive Taskbar Context Menu
Windows 7 Command Bar
The theme I'm using for Windowblinds 11 is BetterAeroVistaX and you can get it here:

Hi!
I was just curious, if you don't mind answering, in what ways are you using RetroBar and WindHawk?
My favorite look for Windows (I'm sure many will call me crazy) was Vista. I've been able to get close to Vista's looks, but not quite as close as I'd prefer.
Also, I've used WindowBlinds for years, but I've always avoided most all 3rd party UI customization tools because I thought I'd read at some point about incompatibilities that won't work at the least, and can cause havoc at the worst.
I'm assuming your runs just fine, so any information on how you've configured RetroBar and WindHawk, as well as any other cautions one should take before attempting this look would be much appreciated!
