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.

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.

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).

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
