[release] Royal Inspirat Special Edition


Recommended Posts

Hello,

Can someone tell me how to use a Visual Style in general?

I have patched my XP+SP2 with uxpatcher4, so that I can install Visual Styles.

I thought that only a file with extension .msstyles is needed. If I double click it, the Style of windows and start menu changes.

But I don?t know how to use shellstyle.dlls in subfolders or subsubfolders or in other folders like "extras"... And what to do with the fonts?

BTW: The taskbar switches seems to be moved upwards, can I center them?

Du kannst auch in deutsch antworten, dann muss ich die anderen Forenteilnehmer nicht mit meinem Englisch qu?le:):)

Sincerely

Chrisi

hmm I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get Yz's toolbar to work. I installed it into it's very own folder then put the themes into the theme folder of it. I start the program and click on the theme I want to use (Blue Longhornish) but nothing happens. The program is running but my desktop remains the same.

Hi all,

I downloaded this great looking theme but excuse my maybe dumb question: How do I install it. I know how to use themes but how do I install this specific one.

Fonts are installed. uxtheme is patched, but what now...

Once again, sorry.

Kind regards

In Firefox you can add to userChrome.css the following code to omit the white lines:

/* Remove Toolbar borders */
toolbar {
border: 1px solid transparent !important;
}

I don't use Thunderbird, but maybe the code can also be added to Thunderbird userChrome.css.

Good luck

Hi, I like the Visual Style, congrats StefanKa.

Now, even though I'm a complete newbie (I have some 24-48 hours of interest in Windows XP customization), I'll try to ask a few of the freq. asked questions in this thread.

You can make the File/Edit/view dissapear using Styler, something that i'm pretty sure StefanKa uses, as I've seen it in one of his deviantart desktop screenshots. It's very-very easy, just check 1 or 2 boxes, for Explorer, IE respectvely.

For those confused about all that Y'z toolbar software: I know many here are using the patch and not StyleXP, but if you're one of the latter, go into the Y'z themes folders StefanKa put into this package and just zip the files inside. Then use StyleXP to change the "Explorer Bar", pointing to that zip file. That's all there is to it.

I'm sorry I can't help you with the unknown desktop icons.

Hi everyone.

All the Inspirat onces are mind blowing.

But can anyone tell me, how to get this complete Inspirat to work.

I am using Windows XP 64 RTM. and I have patched uxtheme. I have stlye XP 3.09 installed but it says its not compatible to this Build.

Well when i apply using windows properties........ the icons of explorer and folder icons remain as default.

can anyone guide how to change the complete look of it .......... using this theme package.

thanks for ur upcomin advices.

as far as I know, this only contains the visual style, earlier in this thread, someone posted the clear blue folder, and the icons inside the folders were determine to be snowe icons. The wallpaper I have no clue as to where it might be.

This is all going off of memory because its been awhile since i've used this theme. Using the original inspirat. Some people were saying that the system bar stefanka uses was just a little photoshop he added, but I'm actually using one similar to the one stefanka uses. All I will say is true launch bar, as it will consume too much time on how to use it. (see below for pic)

Firefox themes can be downloaded (look @ stefanka.deviantart.com , its in his list of favorites), hope i'm able to help

    • Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge by Usama Jawad In June 2025, Microsoft began rolling out AI-powered history search functionality with Edge 138. The idea was simple: allow customers to use natural language phrases and synonyms to find their desired history items rather than matching keywords exactly. Although the company had already rolled out this capability in a phased manner, it has now decided to cancel it. In an update on its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that it has decided not to move forward with AI-powered history search. The company has not detailed the exact reasoning behind this move, but it has apologized to customers for the inconvenience. The move is rather interesting as it seemingly could have improved user productivity. Edge users wouldn't have to worry about typos or exact keywords, and just focus on what they were trying to locate in their browser history. Microsoft had also assured users that an on-device AI model would be leveraged for this functionality, and no data would be sent to the cloud. IT admins also had the ability to control its availability through the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. When the feature began rolling out last year, many of our readers called it creepy, noting that they couldn't trust Microsoft to keep their data on their device. Others also questioned its usefulness, saying that it's simply a way for Microsoft to insert more AI bloat into its products. Although the Redmond tech giant had stated that it will be more mindful about surfacing Copilot features in Windows 11 apps, we later discussed how this is mostly a rebranding exercise rather than an actual axing of AI functionalities. Indeed, a Microsoft executive later emphasized how they want to reshape Windows for the agentic AI era. That said, it does seem like at least AI-powered Edge history search isn't a part of that vision.
    • For you to jump on and defend your sweetheart? I agree, it didn't.
    • Not likely, of course, that we will see routine citizenship checks as they only involve compliance with existing federal voting laws already on the books for decades. This seems a non-issue entirely. Only fools would have the government rush headlong into an AI program few can understand or predict, or even debug...
