Into Windows posted transform Vista taskbar into Windows 7 taskbar guide just after the release of Windows 7 build 6801, back in October 2008. The guide was simple and it was very effective since there were no Windows 7 themes available for Vista at that point of time (was the first guide available on the web at that time).
Since then, we posted many guides related to Windows 7 taskbar including get Windows 7 taskbar shuffle feature in XP & Vista which helps you add Windows 7’s shuffle taskbar feature to XP & Vista.

* Replace old taskbar with superbar

Thank you so much

my computer look change
very nice..
does this one starts automatically on start-up?
thank’s! just what as i want! very thank you!
I’ve tried this program before, and I was unsatisfied with it because of the fact that it only works at the bottom of the screen. Now I know that most people just put their taskbar at the bottom of the screen and lock it, I actually prefer a sidebar. Does anyone know a program like this that is more flexible?
can you take it off if you want the normal XP taskbar or not?
Thanks so much! You are a blessing ^_^

does anyone know how to make their taskbar icons of opened programs big like win 7 cuz i have vista and i did the regedit thing to make them look like win 7 but they are not as big as win 7 ones.
Viglance makes them the perfect size. But i want to use my own taskbar. Any1 knows?
