the RC 3 of "Blue" leaked I find it hilarious that in install UI they still use AERO glassy controls and rounded corners yet they push still that fugly flat UI as main some s***ty contradiction there

like cd "C:\Program Files"

just to be sure, look this small video: http://tinypic.com/r/5yu6g9/6 if this doesn't work then something is broken with your OS

must be one of those ghost mystery's and after XP I never trust Windows OS that much as in beginning after installed win7/sp1 I patched uxtheme with patcher and all was working, then like 8 days later everything broke all skins went back to classic as if uxtheme was reverted to original by some system restore (even if I have it disabled) then I checked and patched files were still patched (and not reverted to original) so who's crazy here ?

one would think after 10 years that this will stop being a problem btw can anyone provide a normal installer link for this ?

wait this is for Enterprise SKU only or the patch collection is just named "enterprise" but work for all SKU's ?

yes it works "on the fly", just like UxStyle, just memory-patch-in

thanks it works !

don't open it with winrar do righ click on apple.themepack and click Open With navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and find shell32.dll select it and press OK

don't know is this allowed to ask... but does anyone know a reliable working uxtheme patcher for x86 SP1 ? I tried vista-7 uxtheme patcher - failed uxtheme Multipatcher (for xp/03/vista/7) - failed tried Rafael Riviera's uxstyle, but it gives me error that my themeui and uxtheme dll's were tampered with, but aren't as I restored originals from within WIM

dunno if this work under win2000, but if you aim at win7 taskbar try ViGlance http://lee-soft.com/viglance/ if it does work you can easily edit images and set it to classic look but if youre just after wide taskbar buttons, then ignore this

:realmad: well let them force their crap when their stock falls down when they lose loyal customers and home users (aka desktop users), and those either stay on win xp or "7" or switch to Linux maybe they'll come to some sense for now there's no need for panic both XP and "7" will endure alteast next 2 win versions, if not 3

still don't get why they label it as Modern UI when its total outdated overdumbed and inefficient crap

now THAT is a good thing yet a conflict with MS, as MS is working as partner with stardock since winblinds 5 days

ok ....

nope I did with nLite RTM --> SP3 directly, works like a charm clean source is always the best

agreed, I thought I got warning from moderator lol

is it as ugly as in win8 ?

yes no there was port via Alky (or was it Alki?) but it never worked fully, thus abandoned no reason to stop using it, as long as you have hardware that works on XP (with its drivers) --- sure there is, newer hardware

that doesn't make sense when css3 was introduced, you have declared how something should behave and what "code" to use I do understand that sometime due to next version rush browsers partially implement something but prefixes won't help in that matter 1 unified rule/code for something, either it will work, or it won't ... I'm so p***ed because all engines have their own set of code different from each other in some areas instead they should all share 1 unified

question is, how different is that method of, if i just replace whatever app and rename it to iexplore.exe with original one does for example win xp, more specific, does XP's file manager (explorer) even calls some functions directly from iexplore.exe ?

see, when css 2/2.1 came out, ALL browsers were forced to either obey the standard or get lost and it was beautiful era but now, with css 3 all I see are prefixes for different thigs Opera has -o Firefox has -moz Webkit crap has -webkit and for what ? why ? do they render things differently ? maybe I'm stupid but shouldn't a common standard worth for ALL ? who and why was behind this ?

comparing to NT 6 series they are all tiny beside look how huge his HDD is

2 things that cause XP (and any other newer windows) to take huge space 1. system restore files 2. page file both can be turned off (if I'm not mistaken) with rclick on my computer -> properties if your "graph" business doesn't take alot of RAM, and you say you're not gamer, then you don't need page file, to which I think eats about 4 GB or 4.5 GB of your disk space as for system restore, it is quite useless you can clean its left over files (after you disable it first ! ) within Disk Cleanup (start - accessories - sys tools) XP by itself is already small, so removal of whatever programs won't help you that much you can speed it up (as already told you above by CharlotteTheHarlot) by disabling some of its services

easiest for you will be either to see what dll or exe files did authors from deviantart edited or just ask them
