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.

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

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
