Great Mod man!

but I have a question. I followed you tutorial on making VS for vista (great read by the way. short and to the point). But I had a couple of problems:

1. I tested my understanding on the windows orb. after I extracted the right images I used photoshop to edit them, and just to make sure I used the alpha converter app too. This was fine. but when I put them back in the file, and then loaded the theme, I got the terrible white background. To check matters futher I went back to photoshop and cropped the relevant files so they'd have no empty areas beyond the image itself. This removed the background, but pushed the orb to the side of he screen, as now it didn't have that space that was defined in the image file.

2. I really want to use you thin taskbar template, but for some reason I don't see any difference between the normal and max transparency version. Can you maybe show me which resource in your template I need to edit (wither image or text) in order to make the taskbar a. matt looking b. transparent.

I really respect your efforts for this community by the way. You are a true sharer.

cheers.

Quick question. Is this open to the community to mod?

I planned on doing something like this for my next VS. So would that be alright to download and modify?

Thanks to anyone who can answer this for me.

Try reading the thread. The answer is already there.

I really want to use this, I'd love a thinner task bar but I get this message from VistaGlazz:

"One or more of the VistaGlazz essential system files are corrupt."

Should I try re-downloading and re-installing the application or try a different method to patch my system?

    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
