Description I have no responsibility of your computer if anything happens to it. If you follow these directions, and have Vista with SP1 or SP0, then you should be fine.

I don't know how to do Vista SP2, as it's not officially released and I don't beta test service packs.

And for some reason I have everything except the icons and the font =\ Can you tell me what I did wrong or need to apply to have it exactly like on the pic? [except for the sidebar] Ty <3

sweatyfish In reply to deniscta [2009-10-04 00:00:21 +0000 UTC]

No, this is for Vista. For Windows 7 you can just use UXstyle core beta to achieve the same results for 7.

jko3r [2009-09-30 08:37:05 +0000 UTC]

thanks so much for this...it was the most helpful thing I've read on visual styles for vista. I've been trying to do this all day and went through countless forums to figure out something this simple. Following one of the instructions I messed up my computer so bad that after I restarted I couldn't get on it at all but that's obviously fixed and by the way I have SP2 and it works fine

acryliques In reply to acryliques [2009-08-10 12:05:15 +0000 UTC]

Oh never mind, I just checked the the files and they weren't exactly the same name.

Thank you so much for this step-by-step guide! It has really helped me and now I don't need any annoying 3rd party programs to help apply the VS's I've downloaded.

Wstv-News-23 [2009-06-17 20:42:04 +0000 UTC]

i seriously suggest tuneup utilitys or doing it by hand before ever trying vista glass... in fact ill recommend windows blinds before i recommend vista glass

sweatyfish In reply to Wstv-News-23 [2009-06-17 21:44:01 +0000 UTC]

Yes, tuneup or windowblinds are good for noobs, or people who didn't know how to use vista glazz properly and blamed the program for their ignorance.

Wstv-News-23 In reply to sweatyfish [2009-06-17 21:53:11 +0000 UTC]

ok... i said this like 9 months and a couple days ago, and your going to reply to me with anger? the program is much to complicated for what it does. also, anyone could go and install the file to the location themselves with a lot less trouble. why is everyone mad at me! WHAT DID I DO!??!?!?!?!?!!??!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?? IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK! NOW I HAVE PEOPLE REPLYING TO ANCIENT COMMENTS IN ANGRY WAYS!

sweatyfish In reply to Wstv-News-23 [2009-06-17 23:16:05 +0000 UTC]

okay, that is a weird reply for my reply. i didn't mean any offense.

I don't see how you made this comment 9 months ago, this deviation is only about 4 months old. Also, as of me writing this, it says you made it 2 hours 27 minutes ago.
