[rel] VistaXP Visual Style


Recommended Posts

You may have went to danasoft and had one made, but all the quotes I use in mine are showing up in yours. I used quotes that I added not the ones that came with it.

EDIT: OK I stayed cool about it because I thought maybe it was just Neowin screwing up or something and I guess it was because I see different quotes now.

The link to this VS is http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20657639

it might be because you're trying to use a VS without patching the uxtheme file. Here's the thread with the link to the patcher

Downlaod the patch. Install it. When it asks something about Windows File Protection, click cancel then restart.

After you restart, unzip the VS and put that folder here:

c:\Windows\Resources\Themes\

Right click on the desktop then go to Properties. Click the Appearance Tab at the top. You can choose which VS to use under Windows and Buttons. Some Visual Styles use different colors or thin taskbars. You can choose those under Color Scheme and if they use a certain font those are under Fonts.

Not all Visual Styles are seen under the Themes tab in Display properties. Most you have to choose from the Appearance tab.

Hope I helped you out

No you DON'T insert the SP2 CD. Just click cancel don't insert anything. What it's trying to do is fix the file you just patched.

Yeah you'll get that when you use a theme with round borders, I think I cant do anything about that.

Here's a thread about a sidebar. It's the one I use in my screenshot I posted:

He may use a different one though, but the one in the thread I posted is the only one I know of with the curved sidebar.

Jupp, I figured it out, and I managed to create a glass-alike taskbar aswell :D

If I may say so, this is starting to look good :p

(The glassbar is a 2 layer bitmap made in paintshop, of wallpaper and taskbar snapshots. Layer 2 is pasted onto layer 1 with 70% opacity. And then compiled into the msstyle with resedit)

Yes Windows X has included this small utility in his Vista Tranformation Pack V2 back in October.

Maybe people don't want the whole transformation pack. That's why I only made a link to the one program you need for the transparency.
