#6.2 Rivers on 30 Mar 2004 - 07:28

#7 StOrM on 29 Mar 2004 - 19:15

#10 musicmaster on 29 Mar 2004 - 19:19

ehhh

any compatibility issues with Server 2003 or the Longhorn Trans. Pack?

#11.1 Windows X on 29 Mar 2004 - 19:22

Surely will. My transformation pack supported XP based client if it's official release still.

#12 Windows X on 29 Mar 2004 - 19:20

Err.... Any chance to make Software Contribution for Neowin Total Transformation wish?

#13 theyarecomingforyou on 29 Mar 2004 - 19:21

It looks a bit shoddy... it's a nice idea and the visual style looks quite nice, but it just doesn't quite work. The cursors look really bad.

Keep improving it though, I just think it needs to be a lot more subtle... if it was coloured and themed like Neowin but not having the Neowin logo everywhere then it *could* be really nice.

#14 glix81 on 29 Mar 2004 - 19:26

well duh its the editors choice.

#15 Hills420 on 29 Mar 2004 - 19:34

Pretty sweet....

#16.1 lostspyder on 29 Mar 2004 - 20:05

me too what are thoes please tell, are they just photoshopped in?

#16.2 bsarmir on 30 Mar 2004 - 06:39

#18 hobsgrg on 29 Mar 2004 - 19:48

At risk of sounding like a heretic but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing, neowin is great but having neowin on ur desktop permanently is a step too far in my opinion.

#19 vagabond on 29 Mar 2004 - 19:53

The pack looks really nice... Gotta try it...

#20 Lighthater on 29 Mar 2004 - 19:57

theyarecomingforyou is right. I like Neowin as much as the next guy, but too many logos.

#21 Windows X on 29 Mar 2004 - 20:06

So you guys want me to remove logo brand in everywhere or something right? This is a first release so please inform me some opinions for better release in next time.

#22 AgEnTsMiTh on 29 Mar 2004 - 20:16

Nice job. I am waiting for FlishFun's to see which one I will use.

#23 x2cube on 29 Mar 2004 - 20:17

uh... wtf? no thx

#24 Mr magoo on 29 Mar 2004 - 20:25

Is there any way to uninstall the login screen?

#25 iBaker™ on 29 Mar 2004 - 20:25

Is there anyway to uninstall everything? It sucks...

#26 aem4162 on 29 Mar 2004 - 20:36

#27 VoodooX on 29 Mar 2004 - 20:41

#28 aem4162 on 29 Mar 2004 - 20:47

#29 smokiethebandit on 29 Mar 2004 - 20:54

#30 mezz on 29 Mar 2004 - 21:10

Oh dear, someone need to get a life......

#31 lnatan25 on 29 Mar 2004 - 21:30

Uhm... It's awful!!!

#32 Matt500 on 29 Mar 2004 - 21:32

Way too much neowin for me, I don't want to look like I'm obsessed or something

#33 longwilli on 29 Mar 2004 - 22:18

lol yep the startup and login are cool but the rest is a bit...well....blue

(1 reply) #34 atomicski on 29 Mar 2004 - 22:43

i can't get the visual style to work

#34.1 florinaperis on 29 Mar 2004 - 23:16

I cant remove the Side Bar

How?
Even if i uninstall the Transformation Pack, the side bar is there.

#35 Proteus8898 on 30 Mar 2004 - 00:30

I would like credit for my Neowin Wave desktop wallpaper. Thanks.

#36 raid517 on 30 Mar 2004 - 00:45

Erm... I like Neowin... But maybe not that much...

A lot of hard work there though...

#37 hectorsr on 30 Mar 2004 - 02:26

It would be nice if the user could choose what things to install ...

#38 Windows X on 30 Mar 2004 - 04:25

Most of problems occured because you guys didn't read information before transformation. You can uninstall it by run transformation pack again and choose rollback option. For SideBar, try to change wallpaper if it still exists.

theme won't work. when I select it from Display Properties the preview screen goes wacky and after I click apply Windows sets the theme to classic.

I installed the uxtheme.dll patch to see if that helps.. but no luck!

#39.1 LispyGlitter2 on 30 Mar 2004 - 05:28

at first I just installed it in normal mode, the theme variation didnt' complete change over and restarts didn't help. It is HIGHLY suggested that you install it in safe mode, I finally did and it installed perfectly.

#40 donachello on 30 Mar 2004 - 08:52

Looks nice but, I'm not that obsessed with Neowin... Sorry lads... I like it does look sweet...

(1 reply) #41 ramik on 30 Mar 2004 - 10:55

what are those little girls/cartoonss in the "Visual Style" screen shot, sitting on the task bar?

#41.1 Ekimus on 30 Mar 2004 - 19:56

They're called Window Sitter Mascots.

Using it now. I like it a lot. Thanks!

#43 scoobydoobie on 30 Mar 2004 - 12:06

Please don't tell me you people actually use a neowin theme? har

#44 Randall_Lind on 30 Mar 2004 - 14:02

Who uses stylebar I find it crappy.

#45 blueshirt on 30 Mar 2004 - 15:20

I saw the dialogue boxes screenshot. I wish LunaVX has that.

#46 funkyMonkey on 30 Mar 2004 - 19:42

it looks otaku. It is like you know you are into anime too much when you put anime on your desktop and you know when neowin changed your life when the entire windows looks like neowin.

(1 reply) #47 Daybreak on 30 Mar 2004 - 19:44

Chobits!!! The best EVER

#47.1 Windows X on 31 Mar 2004 - 00:32
