Get the Windows 7 Taskbar in Windows XP

with 16 comments

The Windows 7 taskbar is pretty cool and functional, with large icons to help you switch between several programs quickly. Guess what? Now, you can get a taste of the Windows 7 taskbar in Windows XP with the help of a program called ViGlance.

Windows 7 Taskbar for Windows XP

ViGlance makes Windows XP’s taskbar look like Windows 7. With 48×48 icon support, PNG Skins, transparency and transitional effects, this tool does emulate Windows 7’s taskbar in XP to a huge extent. Vista editions are coming, but you can download it for XP right away from here.

  8. Not working properly for me – some buttons are large than others, and buttons overlap, partially hiding some buttons. Not sure why these problems are occurring.
