I have WinRAR. But it just doesn't give me that option.

T.T~

Why is this a RAR FILE?

THIS ISN'T MUSIC!

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

You need WinRAR or 7-zip to extract this RAR file content.

beautifull theme, (who need Vista now ??)

just a would like to ask if possible to allow different gradients directions for the background of the task bar

I usually put vertical right side, so the gradient come from dark to light from left to right, giving a funny effect. Same for the top position users of the taskbar

anyhow, a beautifull theme

Ignore the comment above.

But whenever I use it, it looks like the classic theme.

Thanks mate. I have reported the theme. It has happened thrice within 2 days. Recently my VistaVG Ultimate theme was ripped by 2 persons but thanks to the mods, both were deleted quickly.

I hope this time the same thing will happen again.

Have you also reported it?

Thanks. Now I found that he made a comment in this theme too. He complained about the titlebar buttons which he has changed a bit in the theme and released as his own.

Hi

I love your themes and I really appreciate all your hardwork. And your guide to transforming XP to Vista...Ingenius. Thank you so much. ^^

I just have a bit of a problem with your themes though. Everything works great except the start menu. It's about out of alignment. I posted a screenshot below. If you know how to fix this I would really appreciate it.

Vishal-Gupta In reply to Rivenhall [2008-01-18 19:38:08 +0000 UTC]

Strange. I have checked the theme and even I never received any problem from others.
From the screenshot, it seems that you have increased the font DPI settings that may cause this strange problem.

Try to set DPI to 96 from "Desktop Properties".

Rivenhall In reply to Vishal-Gupta [2008-01-19 07:59:20 +0000 UTC]

I just reformatted my comp about an hour ago and I installed the patcher, loading your theme in 1280x1024 and it fit right...lol

then i increased it to my wide screen res of 1680x1050 and it was still fitting right and my font dpi is at 120 lol

So it seems it fixed itself

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I HATE that Vista is incompatible with life in general, but it's so damned pretty-looking. Now I have XP that looks like Vista; it's a dream come true! I just wanted to thank you for making my dreams come true!

How's it going, I tried to download this file, but when I went to install the Multipatcher thing, it said that there are Windows NT setup files in C:/i386..

How can I get rid of this problem to install it?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Vishal-Gupta In reply to devyal [2007-12-17 08:02:20 +0000 UTC]

Rename the "I386" folder in C:\ drive to something else and then run the patcher again.

Thank you so much.
Yep. You can uninstall the theme simply by deleting its folder.
Although there is no need to uninstall coz if you don't like the theme, you can go back to default theme from Desktop properties.
