three questions for you Windows X :)

Is the Longhorn 4 transformation pack out yet or is 4.1 the next release ?

The side bar in your slate PDC vs, Windows X .. how do I activate it ?

(I currently use smartbar XP ... still configuring it though ...)

Can I add stuff to your sidebar like I can with smartbarXP such as news tickers ..etc ?

:D

1. 4.0 is not release yet so no 4.1

2. You can do it by install Longhorn SideBar 3.0 which release before Longhorn Transformation Pack 4.0

3. It doesn't meant anything to hide because it already fit with 800x600 and SmartBar XP consume so much for RAM so I make the smallest SideBar consuming.

hey tai what skin is that for smartbar?

can u post it please

Hi Winston ... heres the skins page for SmartbarXP ... at

http://www.smartbarxp.com/themes/themesindex.htm

the first 2 skins .. the Longhorn Clock and the Longhorn4051.zip [sidebar] are the ones I'm using :)

This thread seems to be getting a surprising amount of attention...

As far as strict port accuracy goes, this is a very good theme, but I myself never found it to be too attractive... Didn't think so many people did.

Anyhow, very nice work, this is a very accurate port, if I was a fan of the theme I couldn't have asked for better.

Windows X,

Could you make a deactivate_pdc.reg for me? I used the normal deactivate and it just changed the toolbars back to normal. I took off the slate pdc theme and switched back to the normal Windows XP Luna msstyle and now there are bugs in the toolbar when a window is maximized. Could you just make a restore .reg that returns the registry tweaks to the normal ones that came with xp?

Thanks in advance.

erm nope. Not completely accurate. Some of the colours are actually wrong in this version. (double checked with my own installation of the REAL Longhorn 4051 build) Some colours in the visual style are a little wrong.

To be honest, this is such a good import of the Slate theme - if you never seen the REAL LH, you wouldn't even no the difference where colours are concerned with the dialog boxes and that.

Still say this is a great import regardless. its very nearly accurate, is what I will say. :D

Cat.

I'm currently working on an emulation of the IE version in Longhorn. :) I'll also work on the sidebar. When I'm done with that, I'll work on an emulation of the Longhorn Windows Explorer, then an XAML/Avalon parser, then bundle it all together as "Longhorn for Windows".

Yep this caught my attention too. Sounds interesting :D

Question: How did you get the "common tasks" bar to be on the top, rather than the side?  :blink:

A little creative tweaking to the shellstyle.dll .. the next thing to do will be to get the taskpane to resize horizontaly too so the window size isnt always changing .. then ill be interested in those cute tweaked horizontal shellstyles :)

Duh .. im so damanding .. i think i know how to get those panes to resize horizontally .. ill have to play around with it and see :)

First off: Windows X, your work is excellent and much appreciated. (P.S. I wish you would put screenshots on your site for each of the transformation packs.) :D

Next: I desperately want that horizontal tasklist. Come on, spill the beans. How can I get it?

Thanx in advance guys.

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
