I really don't enjoy in transform my OS in something else, if I want to experience the real deal I prefer the original experience, samething with the "Flyakite OS X Transformation pack", I used this last application just to experiment and the only thing that do to your sytem is slow down and make all applications run slow.

Did anyone get this to actually do anything?

I followed the instructions exactly, set a System Restore point, booted to Safe Mode, completed the install, rebooted once done, and then... nothing!

I went into the Display Properties, no Vista themes to pick, nothing new in the Appearance tab either.

There were only 2 things I noticed: (1) A Visual ToolTip icon in the Notification Area and (2) a different icon for the C Drive. Everything else is XP style. I also tried doing a 'Repair' using the Change/Remove button in Add/Remove Programs.

Anyone else experience this?

Oh no .. how come? =X shouldn't it be safe?

No matter how much Windows X claims that his transformation packs patch over Windows' system files smoothly, there is always a problem, so when it comes to uninstalling, something goes wrong. And because we're talking about the core elements of Explorer messing up, problems often occur. Sometimes it can be something small, like a graphical glitch that you can't fix, or something major, like the whole OS breaking.

-That is right, before you install VIsta Transformation Pack 6 i'd say you save a point for system restore unless you fully understand what is going on you don't have to, so far I installed it without making a system restore point and everything seems fine.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
