I never tried with Vista but I customized the appearance of Windows 7 on my old computer and it looked nothing like this. I remember lots of people hated the frosted glass look when it first released, and personally I never got used to it. The OS peaked aesthetically with Windows 2000 and has been on a steady decline since then.
