I hope most of u know about XPize by now. XPize is a shell patcher for Windows XP which changes all the icons in different dialogs & system files.

With Vista Microsoft changed the whole look & feel of Windows, however it still overlooked some sections & icons which should have been fixed. Vize is what fixes them.

Vize Basic 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.

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.

You can download it from Vize homepage. Currently in 0.2 beta stage & much part of it is left.
