Be noted that this doesn't come with a uninstaller that removes it completely (yet). You might be left with the boot screen, icons and few other elements after its removal.

To get rid of those, I tried repairing windows which didn't work and I ended up formatting.

Until that is fixed, perhaps installing RC1 on another partition is the ideal thing to do, to get the real (v?)experience.

Artist's Comments

Vista Stick Media Player Skin.

Version 1.0.8

I decided to make a miny version of the newest WindowsMediaPlayer, but ended up with this.

All graphics have been recreated, except the Play and Pause buttons.

Small Windows Media Player 11 style tittle bar. Interchanging Artist, Song and Albume Text. WMP11 Look-a-like progress bar with redesigned thumbs.

Skin has been tested on WindowsMediaPlayer 10 and WindowsMediaPlayer 11 (Both on Windows XP and Vista).

-Font

The font Calibri has been included to work correctly with skin. If using WindowsXP please install in C:\Windows\fonts if not already installed. If you are using Windows Vista please don't install anything.

WindowsMediaPlayer 11 Toolbar by ~juanchis

The small and simple toolbar skin when the player is minimized is now a skin.

I liked the look of the player in when it was minmized and always wanted to move it around, so I make the skin. No images have been ported, all images have been remade.

I'm Not totally finished with the skin yet, but this is just a preview only

Kill me if you want to but i'm not sure about the transparent version of the skin

(i dont know how to make the Transparent background Skin --if any one know Please tell me how)

i'm sure i'll release this Skin before 3.5.06

I dont know how personaly but I know one version of the WMP skin "Revert" goes transparent. Dont know if that helps but figured I'd mention it.

A bug to report-

My pc has the Vista Pack 5.5 login screen. It also has 2 user accounts on it. The top user name, after clicking it and entering the password, moves to the right about 3cm, then diagonally left about 7cm, and then back to the centre of the screen. The bottom login moves about 3cm to the right, then gets chopped in half and moves to the centre of the screen again.

Good otherwise for me though :)

nice but does not really mod the look of VISTA. Vista startmenu does not show ICON. If it is possible to hide the icon, that will be complete VISTA looks.

Thansk, anyway :)

icon did show in user picture instead and that's why its's removed. In XP, we can't do that so I decided to keep it showing.

I read about a Transformation Pack 6.0 or 6.1 is it true ? :boo:

Yeah I've seen this on softpedia - not sure if this is the "official" updated version.

Can someone confirm?

Have done some digging about and looks legit enough, as windowx has it on his forum with external links including

the softpedia site download link. Am downloading now going to give it a whirl.

Edited by GAViN

I downloaded from Softpedia "Vista Transformation pack v6 RC1" I don't know how many visual changes have because is my first install. I like it very much because it's very customizable (i.e. I didn't like the way the toolbar shows so I revert back to the xp toolbar keeping the vista look).

    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • 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.
