Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Guys, I recently released my "VistaVG" theme and I got a gr8 response from ppl. A few people requested me for a few changes in the theme. So yesterday night I finished my new theme and today I'm very pleased to release it. Download VistaVG Ultimate Theme for Windows XP Following are a few changes and new additions in this new theme: 1. A new style "Basic" has been added like the Vista Basic theme. 2. Both x32 and x48 iconsize styles are included in this theme. So there are 4 styles included in this theme: Aero32 (Vista Aero theme for x32 iconsize) Aero48 (Vista Aero theme for x48 iconsize) Basic32 (Vista Basic theme for x32 iconsize) Basic48 (Vista Basic theme for x48 iconsize) 3. Titlebar color in "Aero" style has been changed as well as the fonts. 4. Vista's default font "Segoe UI" has been used in this theme and I also have included it in the pack. 5. Logoff/shutdown BITMAPs has also changed. 6. And a few more small changes. I hope you all will like this theme as you liked my previous themes. Pls give your valuable comments. Thank You.

Arun 795 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 Sorry for the newbie question, but how do I install this .msstyles file for the theme ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 1.) Just download the file from the given link. 2.) Extract the file and u'll get "VistaVG RTM" folder. 3.) Copy this folder to %windir%\Resources\Themes folder and now u can access this theme from "Appearance" tab of Desktop Properties. PS: U can also apply it by just double-clicking on the .msstyles file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 I double clicked the .msstyles file, but it just opened the Appearence tab in Display Properties. I did not find anything new in the drop down. Is something wrong in my Display Properties ? I also extracted the "VistaVG" folder to \Resources\Themes\ , but didn't see anything new either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssr 10 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) I think u have not patched u'r windows theme dll,as mentioned in website Or u have not restarted u'r system after patching. Edited February 16, 2007 by ss_rakesh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 True! Arun I think u hvnt patched "uxtheme.dll" file. Windows XP doesnt allow 3rd party themes to be used by default. But we can patch this file and can use any theme. So just download the patcher and run it and it'll automatically do all the required work. http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Uxth...nload-2369.html After it u should hv no problem in applying the theme.
