Still See Ugly Old Icons in Vista? Say Hello to Vize
Free Icon Packs, Freeware, Windows Vista Guides Add comments
Vize is a GUI enhancer for Windows Vista. It replaces most of the non-Vista icons, animations and bitmaps that Microsoft is still overlooking.
Vize automates the process of replacing resources in system files, applying the real fit and finish to Windows Vista.
Want More Icons?
Check out more icon collections on www.Mintywhite.com or learn how to use these on a dock in Windows.
What does it do?
The patching process will not disable Vista’s built-in security features. Vize will automatically restore all files and folder permissions, making your Vista experience nicer without sacrificing security.
Before Vize:
After Vize: (Reminds me of a [Proactive] advert - NOTE: Aero is now enabled too :P)
How do I get a copy?
Vize does not contain any spyware or ad-ware of any kind.
If you are not satisfied with the results, you can completely uninstall Vize.
Vize is compatible with any version (except x64) and any language of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

Avast gives Win32:Bifrose-DNO [Trj] warning when trying to download installer. have tried various mirrors and all affected. not sure if this is a known false posative but thought I should mention.

Some people may not see the need for Vize because it just “fluffs” up Vista’s UI even more, but I can assure you it’s not a trojan. It does change some system files, but will fully restore your system at your request.

Rich,
I’m sure you’re correct but as the project has been discontinued (last entry jan 4 ) was not sure what might have happened. as it is its only avast that flags it ( checked on virus total today http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/2909e0fe4727e29c20b8a8d77adb59ba ). it,s probably a false posative which is unusuall for avast with me. keep up the good work

You’re very welcome Nigel. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for your question

just to update previous comment.
have let Vize through AV and installed just completed AV scan with Avast and all clear so was false poitive.
Then again better a false positive than a false negative, and an infection IMHO

Vista refuses to install Vize: NSIS Error
Vista says:”It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line swich (NOT RECOMMENDED”
Well how do I use the /NCRC command line???
