Hello, I am a technical writer, and I was recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. All of my existing documentation and help has the XP look and feel. Without the laborious Paint or Snag-It manual image editing or creating a VM, is there anyway I can get the GUI to look like it did in XP? I saw a Windows Classic theme, but not an XP that looked like the second image shown below. Here is an example of the existing screen and the new Windows 7 screen in my documentation. (Just disregard the actual feature changes.) Thanks very much for any help. I really appreciate it. Kevin

Placing question one times is enough. Second attempt does not increase the speed of answer. Thanks for understanding Milos

Three attempts to place the same question do not compate to anyone here for a long time span. Be more careful in placing questions Thanks Milos

I did not mean to post it twice. I am a veteran on the Adobe forum, but this is my first post, and I obviously did something wrong. So it was an unintentional repetition that was not done in an effort to hasten a response.

This works pretty well, and is fairly simple and intuitive: Classic Shell http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/ SC Tom

The Windows Classic theme is a very simple theme that makes the latest Windows UIs look like the classical ones, starting from Windows 95. If you want to have an UI that has the same look and fell of the Windows XP Luna theme, take a look at http://www.techyard.net/change-windows-7-theme-to-windows-xp-luna-theme/.

Hi, You can do it with third party software, take a look at: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/77626-convert-windows-xp-style.html Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft.

The themes in Windows 7 are different from Windows XP. You may search and install one theme that looks like the Windows XP.Ivan-Liu TechNet Community Support
