June 20, 200818 yr Vistapack 2.6The new version has arrived!!Description:The Vistapack is made to transform your old and boring Windows 2000 rig in a modern looking and feeling OS.Safety:It takes the files from the host, backs it up, modifies a sample and puts the modified file back in the system.This ensures that you are using the latest files so no need for alerts like "Now I am using an old file, what if its updated by m$? Then i will be open for attack..."Nope, no need to worry. You keep the updated file.The pack uses ResHacker to change icons, bitmaps and some dialogs, to make it look like the new Windows Vista!Its rather safe in my opinion, but of course there are some risks when you modify system files.This is at your own risk!!!But no need to worry, there are few bugs that cause your pc not to boot or something.Personally i did not had that happening here.Of course, when you don't like it, you can uninstall the pack like any other software.Send me the bugs you find or some remarks, just let me know.greets damian666Changelog:What's New in Vistapack 2.6 - 2000 version=====================================================Changed the icon overlay icon, made smaller by smiley89, thanx dude Changed the explorer flag bmp, thanx to kontinia lot of small fixes by Xibad, including a new clockin date and time..First release with Daedalus 32bit icons engine ok, i forgot...Please note, this is going to be the last big versionfrom now on, only small patches will be released...untill the new project pack=====================================================What's New in Vistapack 2.6 - XP version=====================================================Changed the icon overlay icon, made smaller by smiley89, thanx dude changed some icons in the wmploc.dll,again thanx to smileyChanged the explorer flag bmp, thanx to kontinifixed a huge bug which caused a IE7 update to installtime and time again...fixed the error with uxtheme on sp2, wont be patched.think i fixed the bmp in the hdd wizard...tried to fix most little bugs left...ok, i forgot...Please note, this is going to be the last big versionfrom now on, only small patches will be released...untill the new project pack=====================================================Please note that there are now two seperate installers, 1 for 2000 and one for XP.Vistapack 2000 & XP links on site, look in news section...just to warn you guys, the links on site are linkbuck links, i try to get a little money from it, want to help me? use these links...else choose one below.Vistapack 2000 - Skydrive mirrorVistapack XP- Skydrive mirrorScreenshots:Windows XPWindows 2000 Edited November 16, 200817 yr by damian666
