i just want to say i have pulled the real LH theme files from 4051 , 4053, and 4074, and they do not... repeat DO NOT work in windows XP. i am not a professor or a professional w/e person. but i have done this through Virtual PC and copied well transfered the files to my own HD and thinking it would work and no it does not... so for those people who have been staying they are fake. yes they are. a reason why the real lh theme files wont work cuz xp and longhorn are different versions. thank you for ur time reading this and thx for fake themes. oh and one more thing that will back me up is i am using the patched uxtheme.dll.

WindowsX, I don't know how you can do this! lou_dude888 is distributing a package of your work. He didn't even ask permission to do it! I can maybe understand no legal actions since this work is mostly from MS. But respect must be given for unofficial work, and therefore credits are due. Trying to give him respect when he doesn't respect you back is crazy! :cry:

People, why so nasty to Lou? This person obviously really thought these were authentic Longhorn themes, and didn't claim to have created them himself, so why the cruelty?

Sure, Lou's acting a bit stubborn on the issue, but you don't all have to be jerks about it. Show this person a little decency, as Lou's obviously been misled as to where the themes came from.

hahah. everyone on that forum loves him. and he's playing the victim, saying how cruel we are here.

and windows x, thanks for putting out such quality work. keep it up!

Well, Lou might have been mistaken, but the majority of posts on here aren't exactly courteous, immature is more accurate. As Cerebral said, props to Windows X for being the gentleman.

Cerebral: We're not intentionally trying to be rude/mean/nasty to Lou. If he genuinely believed they were authentic Longhorn themes, that is okay. But preaching on and on about how they are authentic and his Innovative award this and that really doesn't cut it. Especially when there is substantial evidence or facts disproving his claim. If he keeps sending false information, there will be hundreds of misled and misinformed sheep running amok. That is not what we want. Lou also has to realize people make mistakes! It's human nature. But going to another forum and bitching about how Neowin people are ###### especially when he is incorrect doesn't help anyone.

Just trying to clarify the situation, not trying to start wars.

Over on Aqua-Soft (that "other forum"), we've already clarified and settled the matter. No insults or mocking was necessary.

Sorry. I just talked to him. Dr. K had Jim remove Longhorn from his computer, to use on another, and so since then, Jimmy has emulated Longhorn, using these themes. Honest to God. My appologies to go Neowin, Aqua-Soft, and personally Windows X.

Again I appologize.

Yaaa.... Lou, he's just 15 years old (Although I'm 17 :D) But he didn't do something too bad at all.It's just misunderstanding. I think it would be OK if he accepted in it. But he didn't, still dumb and never know about Longhorn at all. However, he believed in my works with faith that makes he blinds from the truth. This guy is poor that he has been cheated by his friend about lying. But it's too late to open his eyes.....

Well. All clear so this story should be over.

There's one thing I got from this topic. I've just realized that my themes are so coooool! (Never know about it before because only few person replied my post)

:no: Any experienced fool knows Real Longhorn themes wont work on xp.Look at the tool bar in LH,notice a difference? Doh!

Sure it a msstyle,but not the same as xp.

I have all the copies of LH alphas right here,so I know first hand.Tried it when slate first came out.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
