Well, then I'm sticking to the VistaVG Blue Refresh Theme. This one isn't as impressive as that theme.

^^^Does the "Vis......" work on XP?

You can DL new fonts to the %sysroot%\WINDOWS\Fonts folder. Then right click on your desktop> Properties> Appearance> Advanced tab> Select the item> change it's font to the one you desire.

This is the hard way of doing it, instead you can go for any software...

Okie....and wat abt the theme Vista VG.......will it work on XP?

Also try the Zune theme for XP. It is from Microsoft as well. Just google for Zune XP theme.

C

I tried out the Zune theme. IMO, the best theme for XP is the VistaVG Blue Refresh Theme.

BUt how to install it? It isn't a microsoft one I guess

C

First, you'll need to patch uxtheme.dll with the patcher.

In the zip archive of the theme, extract the theme folder to %sysroot%\WINDOWS\Resources folder. From the fonts folder, copy the fonts to %sysroot%\WINDOWS\Fonts folder.

You can apply the theme from the desktop properties dialog box.

This isn't an official MS theme, but a theme created by VG.

Nice.. Thx.

thanx !!, the theme is lookin great

Thanks VG

Nice theme

C

Thanks

Thanks for the latest news on themes from MS, VG. Are you working on any new themes for XP and Vista? When you make themes, I request you to make for both the versions as some are still using XP and some have just made a transition to Vista

Yep, the Royale theme is nice. It's quite similar to the VistaVG Blue Refresh theme. Only, the colour theme is black instead of blue.

^^

Royale = Blue
Royale Noir = Black

Thanks.
Doesn't this looks like the Windows 7 Transformation Pack?

Yeah it's similar. Just that the embedded one is more darker than the one in transformation pack. I am currently using the same transformation pack theme. This embedded one is gaudy. Even the default theme of XP is better than this.

Cool theme :razz:
