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.

    • watching him because of the Mr Klinton cat
    • yup dude, ADS on this website are terrible
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
