Hey Vishal,Love your themes, man! However, guess I did something irresponsible with this theme. Clicked LSPatch and my taskbar/icons vanished, i guess it corrupted my explorer.exe for some reason.. any thoughts or is it just saying 'All Hail the King and use WinXP Restore CD'?

I notice those HDD icons have space indicator bars under them, but it doesn't for me. Is this another separate application/mod you're using, or did I not fully install this theme proper? I got everything else to look just like those screen shots, save for those bars under the HDD icons.

This is by far the best Vista skin I've ever used. Really takes advantage of XP's skinning ability without the need for a 3rd-party tool. Thank you -so- much for this, I love it!

I've extracted the program, using WinRar, to the Theme folder, but all I see is a bunch of files. What am I doing wrong?

You'll need to run LSPatch which is included in the theme pack to remove the text.

Very nice work my friend... I also follow you site "[link] " it helps me lot.... thanx... Anyway, is there any theme (for xp) with transparent task bar... with out using Window Blinds or other third party softwares...

Vishal-Gupta In reply to drsouvikkumar [2008-03-06 17:38:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks but you can't have transparency in msstyles. You'll need to use 3rd party software.

Can you think of a good 3rd party software? A free one, preferably?

I´ve tested this theme but I prefer VistaVG, because I´ve faced two problems: I like commom tasks in the bottom an´on the left side and in this theme I couldn´t put it on the left, if there´s a way to do it, plz let me know how. Thx, your work is great.

micr0ne11 [2007-09-16 03:00:39 +0000 UTC]

Nice skin. I'm using it now, on my XP-powered PC.

Maybe you can help me. I've already posted my problem in several threads.

I noticed in the screenshot that your skin has "Control Panel" in the StartPanel. When I applied your skin, "Settings" took the place of Control Panel.

How do I make Control Panel replace Settings, to complete the Vista look?

Thanks.

Excuse me, I reffer to the "color borders", no the Text area.

In your theme, when you select a button (LogOFF or ShutDOWN), these buttons have a Blue color around (grey in your last black theme), as a bug.

Look: [link]

On the other hand, in the AndrexV VisualStyle, when you select one of these buttons, these shine, but don't show any color around.

Look: [link]


Do the test, compare them and you will see what I want to say to you.


Thank, my friend!
Greetings!!!

Vishal-Gupta In reply to kaamya [2007-09-09 09:42:12 +0000 UTC]

oh. Its not a bug. I put it intentionally. I made that BITMAP having a border so that it looks more like Vista.

kaamya [2007-09-07 12:34:33 +0000 UTC]

Excuse me, VG, I have another little request.

A few time ago, I have installed a VisualStyle by Andrexnet.
[link]

The VS is called AndrexV... this theme was released on July/2006, but has a unique effect: The Hide Caption for LogOFF and ShutDOWN effect.
[link]

My request (or question) is.. can you make this effect for you next release? or change the buttons appareance for the Vista buttons?

If you achieve the "Hide Effect", you might think in apply the Vista buttons.



Well, is an idea, Bye!!!

Vishal-Gupta In reply to kaamya [2007-09-07 13:19:18 +0000 UTC]

Its already in my theme.
I have included "LSPatch.exe" in my pack. Just run it and then apply the theme and it'll not show captions for log off/shutdown buttons.
