Windows X
It's been 2 years since I started making Plex Style for XP. Until now, I created 18 visual styles related to Longhorn. These visual styles are taken from Longhorn Transformation Pack 9 with few fixes. This visual styles pack will install the follow visual styles to your system.

Aero Concepts
Aero Style
Aero Style (Glass)
Aero Style (Vista - Beta 1)
Aero UI (Day)
Aero UI (Night)
Diamond
Jade Style
Longhorn Aero
Luna (Longhorn Revolution)
Plex Style
Plex Style (Media Center Edition)
Royale Glass
Slate Athens
Slate PDC
Slate Refresh
Slate XP
Windows X

You can use UXTheme Multi-Patcher 4.0 to patch uxtheme.dll file to use these visual styles or get StyleXP in case patch fails or you don't know how to use it. You can change visual style by going to Display Properties and click Appearance tab. Select visual style and theme you like and click OK.

Longhorn visual styles are pretty nice, but I don't really like the "file or windows options" be above insead of being on sides. hmm.gif

Windows X - i really love this VS but I'm having a bug with it. The wording in the Start Menu for the Programs(left panel), is cut off. It shows only half of the programs names.

Example - Maxthon shows hon, PhotoShop CS shows hop CS, etc...

The width of the Start Menu panel is not wrong itself, it's the correct size/width, actually probably wider than i usually see with a VS, it just shows half of the text.

Any ideas on why? I have a 1024X768 resolution.

Also would it be possible to have a gray/silver style of this great VS?

BTW - you were correct about the corrupt download. It worked the second time.

How do I install it?
Windows X
danniboi, can you post shot? I don't have any problem in my VSs.
TimRogers, to install it, run exe inside archive and next next next wink.gif
DawnUnder2002
For some reason I keep dlding the zip and it is always 0kb/corrupt .. I have downloaded it 20 times now. Maybe my connection is too FAST smile.gif Anyone care to send this to me by email maybe, can handle the filesize and my speed is good.
danniboi
What i did to download the file after i got the 0 bytes download was i right-clicked on the download link and selected "Save Target As". I don't know why that worked but thats what i did yes.gif
danniboi
Windows X - Also I have the task bar set to auto-hide but with this VS, i have to move around the cursor left and right for a couple of seconds to make it pop up. Sometimes it doesn't even work. Sorry for all the question/comments

Windows X
Looks like it's bug from hiding taskbar, unhide it or try some other apps.


btw, http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=313005 <--- Aero style is on the way...
Tuco
Any chance of an Aero Concepts style start button as an alternative in the MCE theme ? just find the bright green winflag a bit jarring against the pale blue theme. If not no problems, just thought i'd ask:)
Andreas012345
after i install, it says "you have successufully uninstalled"!!!

why? I tried a million times, and same thing happens. Any help? And yes i do have the uxtheme.dll
Windows X
I forget to remove word "un" from uninstall.

Hi WindowsX,
I'm a fan of your Visual style since long time ago.
(They was the almost first themes to be used and the start of my modder life smile.gif )

But I have a request,
Can you post the old MCE style witout the Green button?

It's was my favavorite.
But since LTP 5 (I guess) you have changed it.
(This is an old old screenshoot taken by me that have it)
Windows X
I'd say no since it's MCE theme.
frease
Thanks for sharing smile.gif
ECU Tekkie
How do you uninstall it? Just wondering. Thanks.
Coreguy

Ps: what about applying in a Non-english system?I am currently using Chinese Version..


I have tried a mass of LH Style packages but the effects are all awful...

Resurect? Its not even a week old.


Also Can I get the files without the installer?
Windows X
Coreguy , wait for Aero Style and you won't be disappointed.
DigitalSnow, installer saved about 3-4 times smaller so I think I should put them all together.
Jase
whoa sorry this was posted in the wrong thread sad.gif

Anyone have just the visual style?? I don't like to install theme .exe
Windows X
there's no different. exe does nothing except extracting files.

but is it an error of Aero Style (Glass) ?
I am very love this, but when I maximize the window, it will be black of the bar

This is not for my brain. It is too sublime for my brain. I feel even more 1337 with this handy skin. Thank you, Windows X, for creating a skin that makes me feel almost orgasmic with joy. happy.gif
