Re: Vista Transformation Pack for windows XP

Does winxp support transparencies in its caption bars or is that windowblinds? I'd like to see just an icon patcher, as I use an alternate shell already.

Though the vista icons didn't impress me too much.

Re: Vista Transformation Pack for windows XP

I understand that , but this package is completely free no junk or spyware.

that something worth checking out.

Re: Vista Transformation Pack for windows XP

pretty close, but not exact.  glass isnt that transparent (you cant read text behind the transparent part of the window), login buttons in the wrong places, and there is no boot logo (at least not when you see the progress bar).

nice looking mod though.

Re: Vista Transformation Pack for windows XP

i agree. you have to select everything during setup..
after a few restart all the functions work..lol.

Win3.1 was a pain in my keister! I have those fond memories of Commander Keen and Legend of the Red Dragon, though.
