Quick overview:
There's no question that Vista looks great with its transparency effects and animations. But it gets boring in the long run: Windows-Tweaks shows you how to noticeably improve the look of Windows. We also show you how to use the standard "Aero" design with the "ClearVista" visual style. [By Sandro Villinger]
More transparency: The "ClearVista" style enhances your desktop!
The stylish start menu button is a real eye-catcher!
If you want your Vista to look like this, you need to follow these steps:

4. Click on the left on . At the top click on "Add". Now select the file "Clear Vista.msstyles" by double-clicking on it. This is located in the unzipped folder "____Clear_Vista_____by_DannocampbellClear Vista".
5. The ClearVista style is now visible in the list. Select it and click on "Apply". The new style will be visible after a few seconds! Tip: Set the color intensity to "0" if you do not like the slight gray tint of the window frames. To do this, right-click on the desktop and select "Customize". In the next window, select "Window color and display".
Use the slider here and move it all the way to the left to reduce the color intensity. The window frames will then look like the screenshots above! You can find the matching background image here: https://www.windows-tweaks.info//grean_ears_by_peehs.jpg
