Thanks for this man, Im a n00b to all this and I am having trouble loading your Vista toolbar to Yz.. I added the Vista toolbar folder to the Yz theme folder and it didnt pick it up, I changed the name of the config file to 'theme' and it was picked up in Yz menu but it would not load... anyone help me out? Ive tried searching the forum and google but nothing..

Thanks Again.

Hey, thanks for updating the theme. Unfortunately I'm still having the same problem with the bottom half of letters sinking below view in text boxes in web browsers (both IE and FF). Sometimes in IE a little tiny scrollbar even appears to the right in the textbox, even though it's only a little bit of text on a single line. But it senses that the text doesn't fit.

I don't know, I may be the only one having this problem. It's really odd though because some days it's worse than others and I have no idea why.

But the netflix page in Firefox looks just the same as in that pic I posted a couple of pages back.

Window now resizable from top

Hooray! :) I like Vista XtaC a lot, but in forms and other places it's very hard to read dark grey text on black. I actually have not tried this updated version just yet. Were there any improvements in this area, or can there be? Thanks.

HELP! Ever since I installed this VS on my computer, I get random areas of Windows that show up in what appears to be Arabic Language! For example, if I go to System Properties, there are two tabs that are entirely in Arabic. Everything under those tabs is in Arabic. Please help. Thanks.

Hey Dobee great skin. I've always been a fan. I followed the instructions, have all the fonts, but for some reason mine does not look like the preview shot. There is a weird outline on the start menu behind each icon (see picture). Does anyone else have this problem?

Windows XP SP2, US version

Dell Inspiron 8600

I was wondering what icon package you're using on that screenshot?

thanks for this wonderful theme. XtaC is the best dark theme besides Blackcomb.

But i'd like to make some suggestions for improvement.

First, a THICK taskbar is much more useable in my opinion. And Second (That concernes the whole theme) some Hover Effects are missing... for example for the Start Button, the Shortcuts right from the Startbutton, and the Tabs.

I hope the author of this theme can consider these suggestions for a future release. thx.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
    • CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
