Title: Want Vista sooner? (er kinda)
Post by: Lonestar on November 09, 2006, 10:13:15 AM

*NOTE* THIS WAS POSTED IN SPAM BUT SEEING AS HE_HATE_ME HAS GONE CLINICALY INSANE THIS WAS MOVED FROM THE FIRST PAGE TO THE 7TH...SO HERE IT IS SO ALL CAN SEE*

Hey guys I am finishing up what has been a gruelling challenge to get my Windows XP to look as fresh as Vista...due to Micro$oft making everyone pull there Vista skins :evil: its been hard to find a decent one...but I did....also due to Windowsblinds making horribly inept software that you have to pay for, I had to hunt down a cracked version....and I did....right now I'm in the process of downloading the finishing touches (icons, and maybe some cool widgets)


Anyway, I shall post screenshots of it, and if you want, I can post the links for some of the materials so you can get that old nasty XP looking young again! :headbang1:

Sorry about the image size...stupid photobucket...anyway, notice the transparencies, new cursor, taskbar, widgets and glassy reflection effects...and glowing buttons

These programs confuse the hell out of me, all i want is to make everything look like a stormy setting, they need to make these things for the average comp geek, not the advanced

Ya just take it a step at a time....It can be, however, quite a performance hog as they don't access RAM very well...Some occasional lag is normal...I have 1.5 gigs of ram and it gets sticky from time to time...it also doesn't utilize my dual core at all....


but good luck!

yea mines just a light skin and it doesn't really mess with my comp. but ur vista thing is sick, but i would deff fuck up my comp if i did that.  like i could prob never find a cracked version of window blinds or something.. lol. but mines ok.  i guess.  lol.

Post by: wonder. on November 12, 2006, 03:10:14 PM

also i tried the boot menu skin.  and that fucked up my comp.  so i had to start it in the last good known config and delete it.  is there a way to get that to really work? or is it better to stay away from that?

Boot Screens and Logon Screens have always causes a slight problem. I did have a boot screen that effed up my PC and Log-on screens as of now don't work for me at all...As cool as they are they cause more problems than anything else

Found this little pack. I tested it on xp home and it worked great. Pretty sweet. I got a few thing to work on my x64 bit windows, but not nearly enough. I think it come with an uninstaller so it can be easily removed if you dont like it. Enjoy!
