wat does this shellpack?? can explain lil bit� sweat.gif
*
shellpack allowing people to customize desktop without any hassle.
afaik, you don't have to patch your uxtheme.dll.
the shellpack itself will patch it for you.

one example of shellpack is Vista-NuoveXT

you double click the installer, restart your pc,
*BAM*
a new look of your desktop.

^firstly extract the files inside the rar file somewhere reachable. ie desktop.
it should come out with VistaCG094 folder.
inside that folder got another folder named vistacg.
just copy and paste the vistacg folder inside c:\windows\resources\themes\.

hope this help.

I'm a beginner in desktop mod, please forgive me if i'm asking the wrong question.
Does anyone knows how to change the start button of the taskbar?
I've downloaded a few windowblind theme, anyone know how to edit the theme?
I wish to create my own windowblind, what program i need?
*
if windowblinds skin.
you'll need skinstudio.

but if you want to create a visual style you can use resedit or stylebuilder.
you can get both of em here.

anyway, you want to change start button right??
is it windowblinds skin??
or is it visual style??

newbie question here.. which wan better?? less memory usage??

the RK Launcher or Yz Dock??
*
RKLauncher for teh win!!11!
one reason is margin hotspot.
margin hotspot will kacau me while playing games especially rts games.
you can disable it if you're using rklauncher and you can't if using yzdock.
correct me if im wrong.
(i do know about closing yzdock when playing games or something using batch file)
another thing is yzdock is a discontinued product and why bother using old proggie smile.gif
in term of memory usage i can't tell you much as i'm not using yzdock for such a long time.
and muh rklauncher took only 4mb of my memory usage.

I noe tat...
but after i un zip the files to the 'theme' folder,
n when i go to the appearance tab, i cant saw the theme which i already unziped to the folder....
may i noe y tis can happened?
*
either you didn't unzip those files properly or you didn't patch your uxtheme.dll
that's why fariz told you to read the first page.
if you're not using style xp, you need to patch the uxtheme.dll and it's a must.

^use glass2k, trans2k, transxp, tclock2, transbar, etc.
or if your're nvidia graphics card owner, forceware can do the transparency start menu also.

how do i change the volume control icon in the system tray.

-snip-
*
that's vista sound systray icon..
you need to reshack stobject.dll which is inside your system32 directory..
anyway, i have a modified stobject.dll (using the above icon) so you only need to replace it using replacer..
it's inside my attachment smile.gif
and check this out which i already posted earlier tongue.gif
