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!

    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
    • Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything? 
    • Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Playground Games gave fantasy RPG fans a new look at its Fable reboot last Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase. While that was a short cinematic trailer revealing the main villain of the storyline, played by Hayley Atwell, today, the development team released an entire gameplay demo to show off the game in action. There is some combat and action near the end of it, but most of the demo is focused on the game's NPC simulation, relationships, choices players can make, and the complex reputation system. The studio is touting over 1,000 hand-crafted NPCs who have jobs, homes, routines they follow in their villages and outskirts, and a memory of what is going on in the world and what actions the player has done. All of these are voiced by real people too. The demo begins with a short interaction with a butcher who wants to kill a talking pig named Colin. The protagonist chooses to save Colin by paying the butcher a bunch of gold for his troubles, giving the hero a rise in reputation for being shrewd, merciful, and virtuous. There were also options to simply let Colin get killed or even fight the butcher for the pig instead of paying him. How NPCs judge the player depends on how they interact with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doV0yq4kAP0 Later, the demo shows off how purchasing and managing businesses work, where players can hire employees, change their wages, tweak the price of the shop items, and reap profits if they do well. Different NPCs react differently to each type of reputation the player is touting. One shop owner jacks up prices by 80% just because the player is rich and owns businesses. The demo even shows the player deciding to attack random villagers and causing a ruckus in the streets, turning the hero into a criminal. This is where the magic combat systems are shown off, where the player can teleport, turn enemies into chickens, sword-fight, and more. "This is how you’ll build an extraordinary life in Fable. It’s all about shades of grey – it’s not us or the game telling you what is good and what is bad," says Dan Greer, Lead Game Designer. "With the Living Population, it’s the NPCs themselves judging your actions." Fable is releasing across PC and Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2027. Premium Edition owners will be able to play starting on February 18 instead. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also be able to jump in at launch for no extra cost.
