Get this Windows 7 Visual style for XP by ~haran-hockey , To install this visual theme, drag the msstyle to C:\Windows\Resources folder and then double click on Aero Vista.msstyles , First you'll need to patch uxtheme.dll to use custom skins. You can easily find it on google if you haven't already patched it. Only choose the blue theme and you only get the blue taskbar at the bottom of the screen.

Here download my fav SevenVG Refresh Theme here and extract its contents. And install it with same procedure as we installs other visual styles.

But first you need to patched the “uxtheme.dll” file (it needs to be patched to allow 3rd party visual styles), if it’s not patched, then download and run the UXtheme Patcher from here:
