    Windows Vista Icon Set

    I use Windows XP Professional SP2. I need to integrate VISTA icon set in my windows. So what tools and softwares I need so that my system does not crash! I only need the icon set and no GUI changes!

    You are aware that doing this might involve some copyright issues?

    Besides, I'm not sure if the Vista icons would be compatible with the XP ones; I think they may be different sizes, for example. I guess you could take screenshots of the Vista ones and use those on XP, but it seems like a bit of a kludge.

    Why would you want to do this, anyway?

    To make XP look like Vista, perhaps? We all know Vista is "prettier" than XP. I've done it myself a couple of times with transformation packs, since we all know Vista is no good.
