[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 confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
