Any word from anyone on whether StyleXP from TGTSoft has an update that works with SP2 Final? I just downloaded their update for 2.11 that claims to work with SP2, but it doesn't work with the final. All I get is a pop-up box that says what versions of SP2 it works with vs. what version I'm using.

I wrote to them and haven't heard back from them yet. Does anyone have any information about this?

Note: Do NOT tell me to just patch uxtheme.dll for free. That is NOT what this thread is about! If you're just going to rag on StyleXP or troll this thread, DON'T REPLY AT ALL!

Thank you. :)

Yeah it should work...I have 2.11 as well and it even sayz on the website :

"Please download only what you need (2.0 supports Win XP SP2)"

I agree that it should work, but it doesn't hence this thread.

As I said in my original post, I downloaded and installed the latest 2.11 update from their website which didn't work.

SP2 Visual Style Fix

http://vortex2050.dyndns.org:8080/reposito...ndows%20XP/SP2/

Replace your current uxtheme.dll with:

6.0.2900.2180_EN.rar 07-Aug-2004 09:32 97K

Use: http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/ to patch/replace it.

You can now use all your favorite Visual Styles/Theme.

StyleXP still appears to be incompatible with this Final build of XP despite this fix. I expect a new version soon....

They'll have a new release for it shortly after the public release, or just before. Patience.

This is just before. I have plenty of patience, but I was looking for feedback from other people either having the same problem or possibly hearing back from TGT with a fix/patch.

Did you not read my original post, specifically the part in big bold letters? The part that says do NOT tell me to just patch uxtheme.dll? Did you miss that part?

Why even waste money on that garbage software. You would think if you pay for it they would give you professional looking themes. UXTHEME 4EVER!

For the sake of Pete, people!! Doesn't anyone READ POSTS anymore?

It states clearly in BIG BOLD LETTERS in my first post: If you're just going to rag on StyleXP or troll this thread, DON'T REPLY AT ALL!

So far the ONLY person who's been any help at all is pauluk83 and that's because he at least confirmed the problem!

GYAH!

Sorry WishX... but I do have some news in regards to THIS topic.

A friend of mine e-mailed TGT a couple days ago in regards installation on SP2. TGT software told him that there will be no update until SP2 is released in its final form (hence when Microsoft releases it to the public). Once it has been released (probably Monday), then TGT will release a new version to work with SP2 (by the end of next week or after).

Hope this helps.

Yes, see, that does help! You've taken the time to read my post and answer my question clearly and concisely. You even referenced it with what I assume to be factual information from TGTSoft. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for your time and for actually reading my post in it's entirety.

You registered just to post that :unsure: WELCOME TO NEOWIN :D hope you will be nicer in the future

u deserve a slap round the face have you used Style XP 2.11 it has alot of other fuctions than just the visual styles. Do a little research before posting aloada rubbish about uxtheme having the same functionality as StyleXP, when the first post specifically says not to post about telling him to use uxtheme.dll. OK?

Thanks!

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.

      Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.
