Pimp Your Windows XP!
Yeah, I like to think I have a pretty pimped out computer. So I decided to make a pack with a crap load of things you can install you make your windows XP look Pretty much EXACTLY the same as Windows vista. There is a lot more I have on my computer to make it look like vista, but I just decided to add the main things.
Here's a Direct link to the download: http://files.filefront.com/The+Ultim.../fileinfo.html Heres a Pic of My Desktop with the Stuff in that pack. I didn't really feel like taking a screenshot of everything on my computer, so I just took a picture of my desktop with the internet open, so you can see the transparent stuff (Task Bar, Internet Bar or whatever) Edit: Sorry I forgot to add the vista skin, I'll go get the patch for skins, and a link to the Vista skin I have. Edit 2: Heres a Link to the Vista theme: http://1ruby1.deviantart.com/art/Bes...or-XP-63807097 Heres a Link to the patch you need to use custom themes:http://www.softpedia.com/progDownloa...load-2369.html Also yes, after installing the patch it turns your theme to windows classic, and it might seem weird and stuff, but as soon as it does the restart, everything goes back to normal.

Re: Pimp Your Windows XP!
looks pretty cool if you like wasting lots of space on your desktop.
if you want a good skin go to: right click on desktop > properties > themes > windows classic |

Re: Pimp Your Windows XP!
I'd get it it didn't have the huge sidebar on the right and the windows media miniplayer.

Re: Pimp Your Windows XP!
You don't need the sidebar, nor the media player. It comes with a bunch of folders with different program for you to choose from.

Re: Pimp Your Windows XP!
Looks amazing but I'm having some problems with it.
It keeps telling me the themes aren't valid and when I restart my computer it removes the EreN Vista themes and my wallpaper. The sidebar doesn't stay up either. How can I set it so that this doesn't happen and get rid of the 'this is not a valid theme' error I get when I click properties >_> edit: alright so the paper stays now and the error doesn't come up, but the styles theme and the aero sidebar are always removed when I restart.

Re: Pimp Your Windows XP!
I think I'd be more impressed if your screenshot included some sort of proof that it's indeed Windows XP. Like right clicking My Computer and selecting properties, then leaving that window open. I'd also be more impressed if I cared about my explorer.exe looking snazzy.

Re: Pimp Your Windows XP!
You can tell it's XP if you've used Vista.
The windows on his are simply transparent, without the slight blur that Vista has. Also, "Run" is integrated into the search bar in Vista.

Re: Pimp Your Windows XP!
Yeah, but you don't want it exactly like Vista.
XP owns vista in so many ways.

Re: Pimp Your Windows XP!
Ok I downloaded it, but I'm having some trouble with SOME of the progams. The transparent thing worked, and the screensavers worked as well. But the sidebar is screwed because every time I try to download it, it says "Windows has encountered a problem, and is forced to shut down" or something like that. You need admins privs for the start menu as well, which I don't have. So any help for these?
P.S I tried installing vista messenger as well, but its messed up. I have the file but I can't find the application!

Re: Pimp Your Windows XP!
yeah, it's got to be your computer, and you would have to explain everything to me so i can go through it step by step.
I have never heard of that many things not working. I have got all of these programs working great on 4 other computers. So add me to MSN, or AIM or whatever.

Re: Pimp Your Windows XP!
Yeah this is the real deal, each option is installed seperately so no problem, the only bug I've found is that your background is usually missing. I think that's largely the fault of the sidebar. Also, how do you get the taskbar? I got the vista start menu icon to appear ON TOP Of my own, but that just caused glitches. Help?
