  Slate 1.0 was released offically in themexp.org and my site with shellstyle changes and registry tweak!

Go for it in first page!

Applied those fixes - didn't work. Still have issues with the filters forc ing the icons to jump about when I click on them.

Its a bit annoying but I can live with it until I get bored with the Slate theme :D

saw the smartbarXP sidebar here a couple times in a nice gray. Where would I get that skin? The skins on their website are all blue. thanks

Could someone screenshot exactly what Activate.reg and Activate_PDC.reg change? If you don't know where they are, they're at C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\AeroToolBar.

They just rearrange the menu bar, address bar, and toolbar. Just run them and check out explorer, deactivate.reg puts it back to default.

The only resizing bug I need fixed is that of shellstyle.

-activate.reg (Makes toolbar to real Aero style. Still buggy when resizing)

-activate_pdc.reg (Makes toolbar to alternate Aero style. Also solve resizing bug)

-deactivate.reg (Makes toolbar to original XP style. Also resizing buggy as it being)

You guys never read it. Use PDC ones!

if someone will post some good pics of the favorites button on the upper right hand corner of IE than i might be able to make nice little throbber of it like pulsing or something. completely useless, but neat non-the-less. i could use some really high quality pics, like non-compressed J-pegs of its normal, mouse over, clicked, etc states. if you dont want to post them here, please zip and email to [email protected] thanks!

Freakin has the limit and possibities. You can make favourite button as Longhorn ones but not to make it in right place of toolbar if you wanna stick in one theme forever. And that's not erally good idea to do too but you can find the possibilities in Longhorn Transformation Pack 4.0

For uninstalling, sure. I won't make things that uninstallable.

For multi-language, so far so good. But Longhorn Transformation Pack 4.0 is different from previous ones. This con can choose what you want to do so you can choose an option that won't affect to MUI.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
    • In the way that you framed it incorrectly. You wrote: "The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install" There's no "constant need to close all browser sessions". That's factually incorrect. The browser downloads its updates in the background and installs them when you open it again. Silently. And there's no "wait for a new version to install", updates are small and take 2-3 extra seconds AT MOST, if any. If you have an SSD, there's zero extra time. Also, every mainstream browser operates this way. Firefox, the FOSS go-to browser, the default on almost every Linux distro, does exactly the same. Also, you don't need to constantly restart Edge for updates to install, you can completely ignore them and it doesn't even ask you to handle them, it's all silent and automatic. So I don't understand what else do you want.
