Programs to change it?

Hello just curious I like 7 speed wise over Vista but I am a old fashion kinda guy I prefer the basics is there any programs out there that allow a "classic vista" look over windows 7?

I mainly ask because I dislike the below and have been trying to find ways to fix it.

Preview Tabs
Remove "glowing" on tabs (aka firefox/folders go orange/yellow and are always highlighted in a white hew)
New "idle" programs box (far right where program icons are)
Aero Shake
Aero Snap It
No old school Vista Taskbar Pin (I don't like the new taskbar pin)


I know some might be shocked but I loved Vista and I enjoyed the "Vista Classic" but sadly Windows 7 classic is very ugly/bright to use so I am trying to find ways to disable it all.

Any help would be appreciated thank you. I gave this OS about 4 weeks now and I am not warming up to much at all yet.

Preview panes: do you mean mousing over an application on the taskbar and having a little popup show the contents? That can definitely be turned off, but I don't remember how I did it.

I don't see anything glowing in Firefox. Can you post a screen cap?

Aero Shake: I can't recall seeing that, so I must have disabled it too.

Snap it: I've heard of that, but have never been subjected to it, so I'd guess you can get rid of it. When does it supposedly work?

You can turn off a bunch of stuff in control panel/system/advanced system settings; and choose settings in the performance area. Here is what mine looks like.

I also got rid of all the transparency stuff. And I chose "Windows Classic" in the personalize area. I've got it pretty much like Vista now, but I can't recall all of my tweaks.

This is by far the most annoying as my original theme is a dark background so it lights up like a Christmas tree.
