Windows XP users have long been lamenting the lack of Vista style icons in their operating system. Vista icons are more colorful and have a more modern look, while XP icons are typically blue and white. Fortunately, there is a way to get Vista style icons in Windows XP. The first step is to find the Vista icon theme file. This can be found by going to Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Themes. Once you have located the theme file, you need to copy it to your Windows XP computer. Once the theme file is on your computer, you need to open up Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Themes. Next, you need to right-click on the Vista icon theme file and select “Set as Theme.” This will apply the icon theme to all of your Windows XP icons. ..
You’ll notice the new icon looks very similar to the ones in Vista, but the more interesting addition is the new bar under the icon that gives you a tiny graph of the current drive space.
The graph will show up on most of the icon sizes other than the details view.
When your drive is running low on space the graph will turn red to indicate that you should probably stop downloading so much.
You can see in task manager that it really doesn’t use all that much memory.
