Wow...I just tried out KoL's Athens/Atenas VS with the rest of my LRXT package (I kept his longhorn VS package in my themes folder for a rainy day, and it's raining out, so...)

I gotta say, they should have included this one as well with it. As much as I like a black longhorn VS, this grey stuff is kinda cool.

I was browsing DeviantArt last night, and noticed this as new:

(There's a problem with the devart dl, so you can go to  to actually get the download.)

I figured what the hell, I was bored, and my backup was done anyways...might as well give it a shot.

Now, while they obviously have some work to do on it...so far, I'm pretty damned impressed.  It basically does what LongHorn Transformation Pack does...well, it doesn't install the Visual Styles and such by itself (and it uses KoL's with his permission in the archive, and I *far* prefer WindowsX's versions for some reason, so I just use his Slate Refresh instead), but it has plenty of stuff in the archive, and the system file replacement is pretty damn painless if you ask me.

And it made my screens look purrrdy.  :cool:

Anyone else tried this? (Here's one of the screenshots from AFriCa's site):

Hehe Longhorn Trans Pack has always had competition, me and Windows X has great competition in 2002, (http://www.longhorntransformation.tk/).

i've got some weird stuff going on with this pack. it works great except whenever i install a new security patch from wndows update it automatically changes all the icons back to the default xp ones. have no clue how to solve it, and i've been reinstalling the pack for 3 or 4 times already because of this

Hello Guys

First post to NEOWIN! :D

This is a gret replaement pack but when i goto Africas website to download all i get is a black page with THE END on it????? :cry:

Is this the End for Longhorn Refined XT??????

also can someone please host latest version with EXE Patch.

Much appreciated. ;)

All I see is "THE END" in gray text, and a black background. At the bottom of the screen it says "그 동안 아프리카의 시스템파일에 사용해주신 분들께 감사드립니다. XP용 시스템파일은 더 이상 제작하지 않을 겁니다;;"

If I could actually get ahold of Africa or whomever, I mayconsider doing some update work on this, especially since SHELL32.DLL got replaced by last week's XP update. I've actually attacked the LRXT version of it with reshacker, and I think I'll make a shell32.dll with most of that stuff, but I may go get permission from tss2000.nl or whatever the crap it is to use their log off & restart panels...I like those WAY better.

I doubt it. Unless maybe he was infringing TOO much on the Longhorn stuff...my guess is he was having too many problems getting it created and supporting it. I mean, look at the bootscreen problems with the initial build.

What I'd love to do is have it done like XPize (which is a brilliant work, IMHO, even with the keylogger accusations flying about), at that level of professionalism.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

    • I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
    • Loading Topaz Photo AI freezes my system since this update...
    • I had issues with my NVME, it was running really slow (like 2/3 mb bandwidth) ... had to reverted via System Restore and all is fine now.
