Ho to have xp borders / themes ecc.. on windows 8.1?

[marcorocchini]

Hi ****

and I'm a ***

Please I wonder if there is a way to have the same borders, and themes and the same look of windows xp inside windows 8.1.

I have already installed classic shell but seems to me that borders and spaces between windows and some other things of windows xp is more "rational" than windows 8.1.

This is my nle aspect (that I prefer) on windows xp:



and this is the same (that I don't like) in windows 8.1:



Is there a program that take the look of windows xp inside 8.1? thanks

IF such software does exist,
a) probably it's payware and
b) surely it must be able to "hack" the ``classic look&feel´´ around the native GUI of Windows 3.1 —

— ooops, I meant Mac OS

Maybe Stardock WindowBlinds? I don't know if it can address all your skinning/customization needs, but it has a 30-day free trial so you can find out before you pay.

What exactly are you trying to change? The window layout is very similar. The only real difference is the Start Bar.

Also, sometimes you just have to move on. You're trying to skin a new OS to look like it did three versions ago.

And what's the problem in prefering a clean and funcional interface to some piece of post-modern fägg0try
