Has anyone tried this out?

Testers, please?

Some more info about what/how things will be changed would be nice. Screenshots are also welcome.

I can't speak for others, but my MCE is a "production"-type machine. I'm not gonna install something on it before knowing more about it.

Is the SP3 really a requirement ?

ESET Smart Security comes up with a trojan warning when trying to download. And yeah, screenshots would be nice.

Screenshots are on the way, along with release v1.2, which supports SP1/2/3. and i assure you, there are NO TROJANS in my pack.

I don't doubt there are no trojans, but I can't be bothered to change the settings in my AV to allow me to download and install it, especially when I don't know what it looks like. I'll give 1.2 a try when you release it.

version 1.2 is released

this works with ALL Service Packs.

v2.0 now released with patcher via Damian666

thank you so much

Check out my XP MCE ehres.dll that has been edited to look like Vista Media Center http://ricktendo64.deviantart.com/art/XP-M...-2008-106010573

bober figured out that you can fix the issue of the warped green button by editing COMMONSTYLES.XML

I will be releasing v2 next year with more glass stuff, new vista fonts and a patched ehshell.exe so you can see the icon in the taskbar (it has also been renamed from "Media Center" to "Windows Media Center" thanks to AMIRZ)
