Hehehe, I know what you mean Mizel.. But in case you want to try it, ask assistance ([i]para walang magalit[/i]). After installing [b]BricoPack Vista Inspirat[/b].. i noticed the '[b]glass effect[/b]' wasn't included. What I did was installed [b]Glass2k[/b] ([i]a small 54kb program[/i]). And here's the result below. It looks so much like [b]Windows Vista[/b] now! I don't like the default font of Windows Vista, which is [b]Segoe UI[/b]. I like the old Windows XP font, so I kept the [i]Tahoma[/i] font, much easier to read. Click on the image to see a better preview ([i]1024 x 768[/i]).

[quote=Padme]^ Hmmm.. it didn't eat much space as I expected. Careful uninstalling the program when you're tired of it though. It's always safe to uninstall on SAFEMODE. You can get the glass effect here: [url=http://chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml][b]http://chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml[/b][/url][/quote] thanks very much!!

^ You're welcome you guys.. [i]basta kayo.[/i]

^ Hehehe kewl! Let's see a screenshot shall we? By the way, they have a wallpaper entitled '[i]Ephemeral[/i]' in the CrystalXP Gallery. Just in case you're interested hehe.

^ I posted about that pack here: [url=http://theftalk.com/t1466-Windows-Vista.html]http://theftalk.com/t1466-Windows-Vista.html[/url] After uninstalling it and used [b]BricoPack[/b] it left my desktop looking much better. It seem features from both skin were incorporated, nice effect! Sadly I've re-formatted my PC 2 weeks ago. Hehe!

I just got rid of [b]BricoPack[/b] and used a new software. I get bored easily, I tried [b]WindowBlinds[/b] this time, I like it. It's easy to use and customize.

It's not perfect cos I didn't get everything for the pack, but it looks okay. The skin is inspired by [b]Aero Glass Vista[/b], but it looks different.

ADDITIONAL INFO...... Change your Windows XP theme to look like Vista using MSStyles (no shell-packs) Plus you don't need to download any software to do it either (so your computer won't get messed up!). You can do it all by yourself and when you are done it is surely going to look like Windows Vista. sample screenshot ... [img]http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j264/tikboyoyoy/790277561l.jpg[/img] [img]http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j264/tikboyoyoy/842797463l.jpg[/img] [u][b]1) Changing the XP theme[/b][/u] [u]First make sure that you have patched up your uxtheme.dll file.[/u] 1. Okay first you need to find out which Service Pack you are running. To do this simple press the Windows flag key+Pause/Break key. This is going to open the system properties window. Here it is going to say which service pack you are running 2. Now you have some downloading to do. First get: The appropriate Uxtheme.dll file If you are running Service Pack 1 then get [url=http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/UXTHEMEDLL-Pack-DLL-for-SP1-included.shtml]this file[/url]. If you are running Service Pack 2 then get [url=http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/UXTheme-Patch-For-Windows-XP-SP2-Final.shtml]this file[/url]. 3. Unzip the file to your desktop 4. Now you need to download the [url=http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/]Replacer[/url](I recommend getting a stable version). The replacer efficiently replaces your system files and is supposed to be completely safe. This program also backs up your file in case you need to revert the changes. 5. Unzip the Replacer to your desktop. Make sure you read the "readme" because it has some important tips on how to revert those changes that you made. Now you are ready to replace your uxtheme.dll file 1. Now double click on the replacer file (replacer.cmd) 2. Then it will ask you to drag and drop the original system file you want to replace. So go to the System32 folder and somewhere near the bottom you are going to see the [b]uxtheme.dll[/b] file. Drag and drop it into the window. Note: your computer may have more than 1 uxtheme.dll file but usually the file that you computer is using is the one in the system32 folder. (usually the location for your Uxtheme.dll file is C:\WINDOWS\system32\uxtheme.dll) 3. Press Enter 4. Then it will ask you to drag the file you want to replace. Open the folder with the downloaded file and drag and drop the file into replacer. 5. Now it will ask you to confirm that you want to replace the files or not. So double check and then press enter. Replacer will now swap your original file with the new one. Now restart your computer. Congratulations you can now use custom msstyle themes on your computer. Which is going to make your computer look super cool! There are many msstyles themes out there that look like vista/longhorn. I suggest to go to [url=http://www.tech-recipes.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=5233#5233]this link[/url] for some themes. You can also find more themes in www.deviantart.com. So... go ahead and download it. Then unzip or copy it to [b]C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes[/b] All right now you can change your computers theme to the Vista theme you chose. [u][b]2) Changing the Wallpaper [/b][/u] There are lots of Vista wall papers available... you may just use the power of [url=www.google.com]google[/url] for that.. [u][b]3) Changing the cursor[/b][/u] You can download the aero cursor pack [url=http://bronch.com/downloads/risherz/aero-cursors.zip]over here[/url]. Just read the read me file supplied and enjoy. [u][b]4) Getting Vista-ish applications[/b][/u] [u]Get the TopDesk application.[/u] TopDesk is a quick and easy way to switch between applications. With a single key press, you can instantly view thumbnails of all open windows, display thumbnails of windows belonging to the current application, or hide all windows to quickly access the desktop. Get it or read more about it [url=http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/windows/TopDesk-Review-46813.shtml]here[/url].
