After editing the file, click on compile script button. Then save the file on any other location (say desktop). Now replace the original file with the modified one, using Replacer. Reboot and you will be able to see the changes...

There r lots of softwares, which can enable transparency in taskbar as well as windows/startmenu, etc. ;)

But in the screenshot, its a WB skin which comes by default in WB 5.5 :D

^^ Toolbasr will not change by using a theme. U'll hv to use Styler for it.
And regarding to the above screenshot problem, just right-click on the explorer toolbar and deselect all toolbars except "Styler".

Also to hide the menubar, there is an option in Styler settings. Open its setting from system tray icon and this option will be there. ;)

Does the sidebar uses too much of memory? because when I restart my computer it takes the longer to load, also my fan is working constantly lately even the cpu is between 0% and 30%, my memory shows that Im using 62%
TIA.

Click to expand...
1. For changing icons permanently, u can edit the icons in system files. Almost all the icons are stored in "Shell32.dll" file. So just change icons in this file using RH.

2. No, U can't replace XP explorer with Vista one.
