I though finaly when i got vista that we could download a bunch of themes

and forget about patching but seem not is even more dificult to patch it than XP

Anyway seem i have to download a vista patch here:

http://www.withinwindows.com/uxtheme-patches/

But i cant find my version

My vista version is spanish:

6.0.6000.16509

Vista home premium edition

OEM_Slp channel

What patch should i download

if you can provide me with a direct link even better

IS it enough downloading this patch

or do i need some other program to make msstyles i download show up?

iS there someway to make Msstyle XP to work on vista?

I ALSO need a Good visual style theme in a light colors like Lightblue, white etc..

to go with a white lightcolored desktop

Hopefully someone can help me out

I do not recommend vistaglazz, simply because it didn't patch it correctly for me. It screwed it up, and I eventually gave up trying to work with it, and did it manually. It's easy and a sure bet. Though I suppose you could try it first, like I did, I just didn't panic when it was stuck on non-aero mode.

I like how you did no research at ALLLLLLLL on any of those questions!! good.. Lets have more questions that have been answered thousands of times, please!

I wonder why you'd waste your time on answering in a topic that has (by your statement) been answered thousands of times before.

That would seem like a complete waste of time to alot of people.

After 4 months as a member, you should know by now that we actually help each other out here,

as we all don't have the same knowledge when it comes to computers.

Does this work on x64?
Good, it is still Saturday. We've modified some code and everything seems to work like it should. Beta3 will be able to fix 32bit SP1 systems that have been patched with VistaGlazz 1. VistaGlazz should identify your system as "patchable" (as opposed to "original" for untouched systems). If VistaGlazz identifies your system as corrupt or if you encounter any other problem, please let us know.

We do not have a solution for 64bit SP1 systems that are patched with VistaGlazz 1 yet, since that problem is a little bit more complex.

By this they don't mean a fresh Vista install. I just tried the latest VistaGlazz beta on my new Vista 64 system, and it works perfectly. But by all means, make a backup of the targetted dll's first.

Ditto here. I'm running Home Premium x64 and just tried Beta 3. It worked perfectly fine. Do make a backup of the system though.

    • My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?  
    • No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.
    • There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
