Vista Transformation Pack (also referred to as VTP) is a compilation of programs created for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. It has the ability to change the user interface to simulate the Windows Vista graphical user interface by adding several themes and visual styles, installing some third-party software, and patching system files. The program effectively simulates Windows Vista and is a popular choice for Windows XP users that prefer the Windows Vista appearance but do not want to actually install Windows Vista.
In the latest version (ver. 9.0.1), users can use ViSplore, an application that simulates the glass of the Windows Vista explorer. You are also able to get the Instant Search function and the new All Programs feature in the Start Menu using ViStart. Users can also get the Sidebar using former Thoosje's Vista Sidebar which includes 19 gadgets. The Sidebar has since been updated to Vista Rainbar, a far stabler and faster alternative. The Windows Aero feature is now part of the transformation pack, using a program called TrueTransparency or the user has the choice to buy WindowBlinds from Stardock.
VTP is the successor of Longhorn Transformation Pack (LTP), when Windows Vista was still known under its codename, Longhorn
