5 Packs to Transform Windows to Other OS

Revitalize Your Windows XP with Transformation Packs

As a new year begins, consider refreshing the appearance of your aging Windows XP operating system. If you find yourself weary of the familiar icons and visual elements, you can utilize free transformation packs to alter XP’s look to resemble other operating systems.

(Please note: Certain transformation packs are extensive, so carefully review the installation instructions before proceeding.)

Vista Transformation Pack [Download]

The Vista Transformation Pack implements numerous appearance modifications, effectively making Windows XP visually similar to Vista. This includes alterations to icons, the introduction of transparency effects, and new system sounds.

Mac OS Transformation Pack [Download]

This pack transforms the XP environment to emulate Mac OS X 10.5. Key system components, such as Windows Explorer and shell files, are modified to replicate the Mac OS X aesthetic.

It is important to note that this transformation pack is compatible only with Windows XP SP2 (English version).

FlyakiteOSX [Download]

This option also aims to replicate the Mac OS X look on Windows. However, it offers a more comprehensive overhaul than the previous Mac OS pack.

The utility performs registry adjustments, applies visual styles, modifies sounds, and changes icons to closely mimic the appearance of Mac OS X. If you utilize iTunes, ensure the "iTunes Multi-Plugin" option (located under "Software") is deselected during installation.

Fedora Transformation Pack [Download]

This tool is designed to make Windows XP resemble the Fedora Linux distribution. While primarily a visual style modification, it incorporates icons, screensavers, wallpapers, and other Fedora-inspired skins for various programs.

Ubuntu Transformation Pack [Download]

This pack includes visual styles, icons, and other patches to bestow the distinctive brownish aesthetic of Ubuntu onto Windows XP. If you are unable to run Ubuntu natively but appreciate its visual design, this pack provides an alternative. [via]
