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.

    • Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.

    • How does it compare to the "SeeStar S30 Pro" and the "Vespera PRO 2"?
    • Indeed. And note that those units are MUCH cheaper than this new Steam Machine...ahem.
