Here are some examples of custom styles/themes that you can use after patching.

You just have to copy them to your C:\Windows\Resources\Themes folder

I love the wallpaper with the tree. And the Vista clock and small date display. Where can I get? Thanks :)

Wow this sucks ... the site has been down for 2 days now.

Anyone mind emailing this to me? teflon114 at gmail dot com

Thanks

Our website is having some hardware problems.

The hoster is working on it, hope to get it up again tomorrow.

Edit: Site is back online!

Nothing new or original. Just modified a byte in the style to tell the OS not to color it black. I love how people make a tiny modification to a copyrighted work and call it thier own.

You're right the patch can be done manually. We've created this tool to make it easier for people to patch/unpatch their system. So they don't have to worry about the setting ownership, copying files etc :)

I however don't understand what "copyrighted work" you are referring to

Your work on this patch is very much appreciated. I've known about the manual patching but I had some problem trying to get it to work. This is a much more efficient way to share this hack.

Thank you very much

In a few days we will start looking at an update for VistaGlazz.

It seems that when i patched both my system files and my aero files, i was given a nice small speed boost :D

Edit: I noticed my taskbar is looks kinda werid. By the start bar it has some kind of werid color to it, then by the time it has the right colors

I unpatched my files and now i can only get classic theme, my aero is broken.

Did you manually patch your system and now try to unpatch with VistaGlazz?

Microsoft signed the Aero.msstyle that is patched by the second step in our program. When VistaGlazz patches the file, it creates a backup, and when it unpatches it restores that backup.

When you have manually patched your msstyle, and want to unpatch using VistaGlazz, VistaGlazz will detect that there is no backup file, and will simply unpatch the file. However it can't restore the signed state of the file. Result: Windows Classic look.

I think you should be fine when you manually restore your Aero.msstyle file.

If you still encounter problems, please PM/mail me.

Weird color? Do you have a screenshot for me? :)

..looks like and olive color then slowly fades into some kind of blue-green color near the clock

Using the Vista Basic coloring system:

When using Aero, the color mixer does not help into getting my becoming fully black as it once was. Before i applied this patch, my taskbar remain black when using Aero and Basic

The difference in colour wouldn't be your wallpaper showing through the taskbar by any chance? I'm just taking a guess

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.

      Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.

      It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
