Sup Vishal, love your vista ultimate theme. One thing I was wondering, do I have to do anything special to see my user icon on the start menu like in your screen shots? I have tried other themes with similar start menu's and none of them display my user icon, all I see is black inside the box. Thanks in advance.

I think you have to use the Welcome screen to get the icon in the start menu.

Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on or off -> Make sure Use welcome screen is checked

I'm A regural guy and i know a little about computers.

I downloaded the theme, but i can't find a folder called "%Windir%".

So where can i find it so i can get a Vista theme?

I need to know wheres the windir folder thingy and how i can patch things?

Im very greatful if you help me:).

Yes, the user icon will be there.

This is an excellent theme. I even like it a bit more than Aero. It feels snappier too, though that might be because XP is just faster. I've gone back to XP until Vista SP1 is out. This will tide me over nicely. Thanks. :)

Firstly and foremost love your theme!!! Very well done!! This is by far the most attractive and usable theme I have used for XP to date!! Its running great! Just had a quick question though that I have not yet seen covered. How difficult (if possible) would it be to further customize the shellstyle.dll file used in the bottom common tasks mod to display a custom list of shortcuts that I define (i.e. I would like it to display a My computer shortcut, my documents shortcut ect.). No biggie if it cant be done, just curious because I would like the common tasks to be on the bottom if I was able to control what showed up there by default. Thanks soooo much for your efforts!!!

Thanks VG, looks great!

I noticed that the previous "VistaVG Theme for Windows XP" used Tahoma as the default font, and now it's Segoe UI.

I know that Segoe UI is the deault font in Vista. But since I don't use the ClearType, the Segoe UI font can't displayed well on my LCD :(

So I changed back and using the old version now. It's great, too, but I like the new one better :) So can anyone tell me how to change the font to Tahoma for this version? It seemed simply change the font will make the buttons rather small or can't be used... :(

I love this theme!!! :D But there is one thing that keeps messing up on my pc. It may just be on mine but when I put Windows media player on to my taskbar, and while the music is playing, the pause button seems to be out of place:

And when I do press the pause button (i.e. the song is paused), everything seems to back into place.

SO yeah, any help would be appreciated!

Ok i patched my sp2 with the dll patcher etc. easy. Ok now im trying to install the theme. Do i simply move the folder into the windows/font and themes folder? Or do i extract the contents of x folder and move them there?? Whenever i try to put the file it gives me a message " Windows Font Folder"-File"...\Fonts was not found or could not be opened.

What did i do wrong?

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
