Awesome work !!! Thanks for the update ... (Y)

Nope, as long as you have the uxtheme patch installed you should be just fine and I think windowsx actually includes it in the patch anyway.

If you dont have it, you could always run over to the "Customising Windows XP" section and there is a sticky post with info on it :D

Thanks for the verification :happy:

Theme is awesome. All these different themes included will sure keep me entertained for months :p

what I like more in this is the auto-instalation, very simple for someone that don't know how to mod.

And now the bad point of this is tha we can't have the single files alone to manual mods...

And I always hate this start menu...

(Bad Idea from M$)

Yay, another "Transformation" Pack by Windows X :x.......

It very nicely transforms my computer from a almost perfect working rig into a unstable, lagging zombie, giving me BSOD?s every now and then....

I really appreciate your work Windows X, but these "Transformation" Packs don?t tend to work very well on many computers.

Am I the only one feeling a bit suspicious about automatic installers for VS?s and stuff like that?

I can?t stop thinking on trojans and spywa:no::no:

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
