[xenkatesh]

cool one man..

 

[ruthless]

I downloaded the archive.
Now what should i do

 

[Vishal Gupta]

^^
Extract the contents and u'll get a folder named VistaVG.
Copy this folder to %windir%\Resources\Themes\ folder and u'll get this them in the Appearance tab of Desktop Properties. Otherwise u can directly double-click on the VistaVG.msstyles file in VistaVG folder

And make sure u hv patched the uxtheme.dll file to allow 3rd parth visual styles, if u hv not then d/l and run Neowin Uxtheme Patcher

Same for me also, only the taskbar and start menu has changed....

Good work though Visha Gupta, efforts appreciated, repped u!

 

[Vishal Gupta]

thnx buddy

But its just a visual style na, it'll not change icons, mouse pointers, wallpapers, etc. U'll hv to change them manually

 

[king007]

^^^Ok Vis(hal Gup)ta, !

I understand that its just a visual style, anyways like I said, good job!
Thanks again for making my task bar and start menu look beautiful .

But the icons get cut in the start menu (i know u said to increase size of icons) but it actually makes all icons too big and wierd, thats the only "neglectable" issue.

 

[Vishal Gupta]

thnx buddy

But regarding to the icons, its not a issue or BUG, actually I made this VS for x48 icon size!

 

[aquamatrix]

ohk good enough though

 

[Vishal Gupta]

I think u didnt copy those VS to %windir%\Resources\Themes folder, thats why those VS r not displayed in the list!
