NienorGT Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 How do you do the HDD icon thing? It's not the first time I see that, but I can't remember what it was. And it's not on your DL page.

Vishal Gupta Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 ^^ Yeah. Its a 3rd party utility to show progressbar under drives in XP. I have mentioned it here: Transform Your Windows XP in Windows Vista without any Customization pack Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/602730-vistavg-series-vista-themes-for-windows-xp/#findComment-589014011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Stephens Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Sup Vishal, love your vista ultimate theme. One thing I was wondering, do I have to do anything special to see my user icon on the start menu like in your screen shots? I have tried other themes with similar start menu's and none of them display my user icon, all I see is black inside the box. Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.I think you have to use the Welcome screen to get the icon in the start menu.Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on or off -> Make sure Use welcome screen is checked Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/602730-vistavg-series-vista-themes-for-windows-xp/#findComment-589130194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

infinitey Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Sup Vishal, love your vista ultimate theme. One thing I was wondering, do I have to do anything special to see my user icon on the start menu like in your screen shots? Yes, the user icon will be there. This is an excellent theme. I even like it a bit more than Aero. It feels snappier too, though that might be because XP is just faster. I've gone back to XP until Vista SP1 is out. This will tide me over nicely. Thanks. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/602730-vistavg-series-vista-themes-for-windows-xp/#findComment-589131381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Stupid question before I download. Does it include the icons as well? Sorry if it was said already. Looks really good I think.

am2nr Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Firstly and foremost love your theme!!! Very well done!! This is by far the most attractive and usable theme I have used for XP to date!! Its running great! Just had a quick question though that I have not yet seen covered. How difficult (if possible) would it be to further customize the shellstyle.dll file used in the bottom common tasks mod to display a custom list of shortcuts that I define (i.e. I would like it to display a My computer shortcut, my documents shortcut ect.). No biggie if it cant be done, just curious because I would like the common tasks to be on the bottom if I was able to control what showed up there by default. Thanks soooo much for your efforts!!!

boday Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks VG, looks great! I noticed that the previous "VistaVG Theme for Windows XP" used Tahoma as the default font, and now it's Segoe UI. I know that Segoe UI is the deault font in Vista. But since I don't use the ClearType, the Segoe UI font can't displayed well on my LCD :( So I changed back and using the old version now. It's great, too, but I like the new one better :) So can anyone tell me how to change the font to Tahoma for this version? It seemed simply change the font will make the buttons rather small or can't be used... :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/602730-vistavg-series-vista-themes-for-windows-xp/#findComment-589196277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangoman Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) I love this theme!!! :D But there is one thing that keeps messing up on my pc. It may just be on mine but when I put Windows media player on to my taskbar, and while the music is playing, the pause button seems to be out of place: And when I do press the pause button (i.e. the song is paused), everything seems to back into place. SO yeah, any help would be appreciated!

SO yeah, any help would be appreciated! Ok i patched my sp2 with the dll patcher etc. easy. Ok now im trying to install the theme. Do i simply move the folder into the windows/font and themes folder? Or do i extract the contents of x folder and move them there?? Whenever i try to put the file it gives me a message " Windows Font Folder"-File"...\Fonts was not found or could not be opened.
