by default winxp start button cannot be circle, however, u can use the VisOrb to make it circle (bundled with VTP) or use WindowBlinds Vista theme, which would give u transparent effect as well as circle start button smile.gif

wow...
why so difficult?
buy a Win Vista then.

there are many factors that cause people to customize winxp rather than getting vista;
compatibility issues, aging hardwares, tight on budget, enthusiasm in desktop modding, just to name few of them
it's the customization that makes the whole thing fun and satisfying, for me at least

AFAIK, those .gadgets files is for original vista sidebar. its not for thoosje sidebar..u can read in the forum there..


Added on March 20, 2008, 1:22 pmany useful yet stable software that shows HDD usage meter like in Windows Vista??

i think vista misc pack in page 1 can do that, either that or vista icon pack, i forgot already tongue.gif

I found W. Vista used high memory, so it not worth for office task...

depends on how much RAM u have inside ur system, 2GB wud be sufficient (some says 3 or 4GB), but 1GB is a no-no
and u are in the wrong section btw, this is for winxp users modding their winxp to winvista

thx for sharing,

btw it will caused our system slower rite?
*
minor performance slowdown if u know which program to install and which not to
if like mine, i did not install all the 3rd party softwares, no visualtip, no sidebar and all, can be said that there is minimal performance loss
i juz use the icons, cursors, sounds and the vista theme (which now i replace with other windowblinds theme)
