[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

    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost.

    • Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X
    • Windows 10 was 6 years old when Microsoft revealed Windows 11. Does this mean Windows 12 is due next year?
    • Congratulations Windows.
    • Agreed out side of some AMD CPU stutter issues in year one, fixed by AMD and Microsoft I have no technical or performance issues. Plenty of little annoying aspects like trying force Microsoft accounts, copilot, fully replacing edge with another browser of your choice, but all them are tamed by knowledge or free tools….so far.
