This transformation pack has ruined a lot of peoples computers

QFT. I dont recommend that anyone gets this. Its forced several people that I know of to reformat their hard drive, including me. A very buggy program that will likely damage windows beyond repair.

The styler toolbar in VTP 6.0 Proper is not stable.It flickers every now and then. Version 5.5 was way more stable than this one. Also, with hardly a month for Vista to hit the markets, I will better wait for the original Home Premium version.

The transformation pack was great but there is one problem.

Is there a way to prevent the sidebar from opening on startup? I unchecked it in msconfig but that activated the selective startup and the msconfig comes up every time XP starts up and asks me to re-check the sidebar. Is there another way to prevent the sidebar from opening automatically? It would suck to have to reinstall the pack.

When selective startup comes up on reboot, you can check "show menu at startup" or some such option. It's the only check box on that screen. This will keep it from appearing at startup, unless you change something else in the startup options.

I uninstalled VTP 5.5. For some reason when anyone of the family logged out and someone else logged in the computer would hang and the firewall would crash. This was particularly annoying, meaning most time we just restarted the computer to make sure everything would work.

I used a Registry Cleaner to take out the remaining VTP gunk and ran SFC.exe (Open run and type: "SFC /scannow") to make sure all the dll's and system files were restored. Everything is hunky dory now!

wth i cant find the edit button...?anyways sorry for my double post but there is NO transparency to normal windows. the only transparency is the sidebar window when you open up the widgets. thats all there is. and the start orb is cut off to level with the rest of the start menu...for some reason. I just didnt like the theme they had.

EDIT: o.o theres no edit button for the post above...

erm i'm kinda of a computer idiot, where is our system files?

Forget about installing this then. Go look for the other Vista visual styles, they're A LOT safer. I used this before back in the day when it was called Longhorn Transformation Pack... Not exactly a pleasant experience as I shall say. :/

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
