NY1 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Is that a mock-up or is that something real? Well from what I understand that's a real screenshot.. I got the pic from Paul's Supersite. I guess it's from a internal microsoft LH build... http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/longh...inhec_proto.asp Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/166590-longhorn-4074-aero-theme/page/2/#findComment-2101559 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanorobot Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Those two other sidebar images are alpha transparant ant not really that black. I think there is a way to make the sidebar slghtly transparant like some of the demo shots.

Memphis Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 I could convert a little bit of it for xp but not the side bar, juss the startmenue and stuff. I could probly throw together a blackish theme for explorer to go with it too.

SkyyPunk Veteran Posted May 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) SkyyPunk please help!!

Please can you, if you want, to help me??? Tnx! :cry: It is for longhorn only. You can not overwrite this file when in longhorn because it is in use, so assuming you installed this to dual boot, you boot into windows xp (or whatever else you have to dual boot into), and then extract the .dll to your longhorn partition:\windows\system32 Edited May 18, 2004 by SkyyPunk Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/166590-longhorn-4074-aero-theme/page/2/#findComment-2125023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalin Salgau Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 First: SkyyPunk, can you tell me how ware you able to modify the file? What tools have you used? How did you know where to look? Secondly: Is MSN Explorer NOT working in Longhorn 4074, or is it just my computer. I kept clicking the sing in button, but nothing happened. Thanks.
