Description More Metro for Windows8. Don't like the visual difference between the Windows8 startscreen and the Win8 desktop? Than use this combined with a matching background.
These are skins for the newest Vistart build 3864. They don't work with older versions of Vistart.
How to use:
Download the newest Vistart version from Lee-soft.com[link] and install it. After that copy and paste the exe to the folder of this deviation.

Works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows7 and Windows8.

Simply try it.

Featured on lee-soft.com[link]

Updared April 1 2012. Almost complete redone.

No redistribution in Transformationpacks/Skinpacks allowed.

CAUTION
BE CAREFUL WHILE INSTALLING VISTART. NEVER, REALLY NEVER INSTALL BABYLON TOOLBAR. IT IS A TRASHY MALWARE WHICH POSSIBLY MESSES UP YOUR COMPUTER. GOOGLE FOR IT TO SEE WHAT I MEAN.
Take care.

These wallpapers are very small 1024x768 and the quality isn't the best. I don't think you would like them. Sorry.

Hi Peter, you will be happy to know that I've now published the test build we were working on and I will be featuring this skin on my website within the next hours.

This skin requires a version of ViStart (3860) is higher. So for anyone who wants to get this skin working, they must download and install the latest version of ViStart first and then copy the sub folders into %programfiles%\ViStart

Regards,
Lee

Also if ViStart doesn't work when you start it, it's because this skin uses a font only available in Windows 8. You will have to change the layout.xml file manually and select a substitute font that is available on your system (Or run this in Windows 8). I will be making a fix in the coming days so that ViStart automatically selects it's default font should the requested font in the layout.xml file not be available.

I've accidently uploaded my private version with Segoe WP. I changed it to Segoe UI now and have reuploaded it. Segoe UI works with Vista,7,8 and all XP systems with Windows Live services installed.Thanx for the hintIt's mostly made for Win8, but it's better when it works on the other OSes too.
