Title: Take a look at this!
Post by: Romanmolf on October 22, 2008, 02:03:28 pm: (http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/5425/mydesktopqk4.th.png) (http://img88.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mydesktopqk4.png)

Now THAT's cool. This is a screenshot of my desktop witch looks exaclty like Vista... but the OS is Win XP!

I just got a programme that allows you to make winXP (AND ONLY XP) look like Vista.

If you want it, go here (http://vista-customization-pack.en.softonic.com/)

Post by: BloodEagle on October 22, 2008, 06:08:55 pm: Firstly, why would you want to make something look like Vista/Office '07?

Secondly, why in the Hell is that image 600x480?

Yeah. Emerald + a slightly modified Vista theme. The original one had the top window border way too big.

It's not positioned right on the task bar and the top of the button is cut off.
Title: Re: Take a look at this!
Post by: BloodEagle on October 23, 2008, 09:27:01 am: If memory serves, the button should be further to the left.
Title: Re: Take a look at this!
Post by: Romanmolf on October 23, 2008, 01:22:32 pm: Anyway, that's what the programme did.

Post by: ShadowGorrath on October 23, 2008, 05:18:44 pm: Is there any good program to allow full customisation of Win XP's appearance? I mean, like having your own start button, and etc. Kinda like the XP-to-Vista apearance conversion, just that I specify what to change into what, and etc.
Title: Re: Take a look at this!
Post by: pecenipicek on October 23, 2008, 05:21:04 pm: not that easily. you'd do well to do it all yourself and there are lots of guides on that

Because it is marginally more fun than buying the even more sucky operating system.

Which themes and wallpaper on gnome-look.org did you get? I'm not interested in the 3d effects, just the panel, background, and gtk theme.

Post by: Talon 1024 on November 03, 2008, 04:08:37 pm: The Emerald window border came from this file pack: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Complete+Vista+Aero+theme+(automated)?content=72318 (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Complete+Vista+Aero+theme+(automated)?content=72318)

Here is the Wallpaper: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Vista+Hugger+%5BUbuntu%5D?content=77243 (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Vista+Hugger+%5BUbuntu%5D?content=77243)

And the GTK Theme: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Murrina-LiNsta+(LiNsta+is+Not+Vista+%3B-)?content=61068 (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Murrina-LiNsta+(LiNsta+is+Not+Vista+%3B-)?content=61068)

At last, but not least, the start button: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/RoMu+DsGr+Spiral+Start+button?content=81490 (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/RoMu+DsGr+Spiral+Start+button?content=81490)

These were hard for me to find for the second time, I forgot where those files were.
