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.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
