Longhorn Transformation Pack

Where is this choice not to install it? It tells me about it and I only see one "Next" button, or cancel.

You can uninstall it from the uninstaller of the trans pack.

[Windows X]

Or choose " I know this download comes with $%^$ but I don't want to keep it" in SearchBar dialog.

Okay, thanks. :)

Version 2.0 is released!

The "Lite" version doesn't include previous stuffs from Longhorn Transformation Pack for the adventages of users who have dial-up connection and want to use only Vista stuffs. This can save up lots of time and bandwidthes to download from over 25 MB to less than 5 MB!

What's different from "Full" version?

-1 font (Segoe UI+Bold only)

-2 skins (Longhorn SideBar, Vista) and Vista clock for Longhorn SideBar 6.0

-3 visual styles (Aero Style (Glass - 50xx), Aero Style (Glass - 51xx) and Aero Style (Vista - Beta 1))

-5 wallpapers (Keynote Glass+Widescreen, Keynote Grass+Widescreen and WinV_Wallpaper)

-Removed previewer

-Replaced all radio options with checkbox option (of course Vista's ones)

Changes in Version 2.0

-Added Glass2k (Make window transparent)

-Added LClock (Longhorn tray clock look with calendar)

-Added transformation repairing feature (Check for different file from backup and re-patch only that file)

-Fixed failing to patch system files in non-English OS (For sure this time)

-Fixed Longhorn SideBar first run error (not 100% and still occurs on another account)

-Fixed losing after transforming updated files during uninstallation

-Removed WhenU's bundled stuffs (I feel regret adding it but money pressure is really something)

-Updated visual styles

|-Splitted 50xx and 51xx themes in "Aero Style (Glass)"

|-Added "Thin TaskBar" theme into Aero Style

Thank you, downloading 2.0 now.

[StevoJD]

I already downloaded the trans pack, amazing! Great improvement! The theme is even fixed, awesome Windows X, thanks.

Where are the msstyles? I installed it and all seemed to go well but when I rebooted WB launched even though I had told it not to and now I can't seem to find how to load the style. Help?

[Windows X]

You need UXTheme Multi-Patcher or StyleXP in order to use them.

:angry:

is there any way we can get an updated link? the one provided for vista transformation pack 2.0 full install does not work. something is wrong with the hosting site's webserver.

if anyone has it and is on a fast line contact me via Yahoo and if you can send me it. i'm currently online right now.

thanks!

[Windows X]

Perhaps most of site links to TCMag which cause server hanged up. I think it will be fixed in shortly.

[Suicide]

yeah sure, as usual (lol) in month or about

Great pack. A few gripes though. Most of the icons do not have a 24x24 size, causing distortions in the icons of the start menu (the only place where 24x24 is ever used). Also, I would like the ability to change all the settings you set during installation without having to uninstall and reinstall.

And I upgraded to 2.0, and I'm still not able to get the sidebar to work...

[StorminTexan]

I must say from the photos and testing the 10.5 pack. It's a good start at looking like Vista. I have been testing Vista 5219 (Legally) for the past few weeks. It's ok, a bit slow IMO. Webpages stutter real bad but the overall design concept of the Shell is amazing. There are a few places that need fixing before a final release is given to the public.

For instance the Windows Explorer shell is way more complex then ever. It will prove quite difficult to manage with New End Users in the future. Hopefully the compatibility and usefulness will prove otherwise.

Hope to see this other link fixed soon so that I can switch my XP to the Vista GUI.

THe progress dialog for vista is messed up, the windows flag isnt properly sized or something, it shows up all disorted in the log off dialog and the please wait dialog, i would re-install and just switch to the aero but ive reinstalled the pack about 10 times today i rlly would like an option in the uninstaller to change the settings instead of having to reinstall every time its taken a heavy toll on my HD...

there's no original 24x24 icons from what I've found so it won't be different if I make 24x24 ones myself. My friend is remaking new SideBar with xml engine so this time it should work fine for common machines.

That will make more works on transforming and re-transforming. (more than uninstall and transform again)

I'm impressed but a lil upset. I love the pack none the less but I dont get the Style Design. I'm using the uxtheme patcher so no StyleXP is needed but for instance I love the Vista Beta 1 Aero Glass theme. The color choice isn't to my liking. I want to customize it more "Dark Green" for my personal theme.

I have no intentions of placing any of this online as I understand altering another artist work is a no no for publishing. Just want to make it more to my specifications.

I looked in the themes resource directory and found the shellstyle.dll files. But none consist of any bitmaps for the theme. I used Resource Hacker and found nothing. Where are these themes stored ?!?

[StorminTexan]

The theme files are stored in the .msstyles but your probably better off using something like stylebuilder because to use resource hacker you have to have a piece of software that would allow you to re-color something easly instead of just coloring every pixel with paint. But anyways good luck hope i helped you find what u were looking for.

Your right. I didnt realize it. The file is sneaky like a :ninja: .

I'm going to start recolouring it with Photoshop CS 8.0 so I can give it my own style touch.

Some problems with the theme, on the side menu (or the top menu) that appears when you open up Windows Explorer, the buttons are a bit too close on that. And the arrow that hides the inactive icons, the arrow has white background, transparent almost. The other problem is that the start flag is a bit desintegrated, it looks a little blocky. There's some missing icons, like the extracted folder icons too. Other than that, the pack is pretty nice, and it will surely be perfect once you get to Vista Transformation pack 11.5.

There's no shellstyle resources so you have to remake it yourself. But you can find Aero stuffs from stream*. and change extension to png.
