Are those screenshots of an actual Windows Vista installation? I think it is because the transparency settings don't match. The borders in the screenshots are transparent but the window pane is not, with Glass2k that comes with the VTP, it does the entire window and border. Also because the start button with the transformation pack gets trimmed at the top while actual Vista installation does not. In the screenshots the top of the start button is not trimmed.

useless for me, rated 1

If its useless simple exit the topic, don't even spam. People take hours hard working and an idiot comes and say "uselesssss PLXXOR 1" ahh come on man if you didn't like shut up, don't start saying these ****s... you couldn't walk a step in Windows X's shoes.

OWNED.

Everything looks great! Just one problem. When the icon paching was ran, it replaced my 3.0 Vista icons with my Windows XP ones, so now it looks even worse. Anything I can do to fix this?

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
