dude, if you don't mind. can you please provide the link you get VIPv3 from?
the one from 1st page (china site) just wont work, i had tried for 2 days.

and do you need to install VIP from SafeMode, coz i read somewhere some1 said better to install from SafeMode.

it would nice if you can just send me  tongue.gif  bobtiang(at)gmail.com

This link shld work.

1st mirror

2nd mirror

@ bobtiang,

1st problem.
- Apparently WindRider is also facing the same problem as you. But I don't know how to solve this. But lets debug... hmmm firstly, which skin are you using? WB or Msstyle?

2nd problem.
- Vista Icon Pack will solve everything. It contains icons for Control Panels as well.

3rd problem.
- Of course IconPackager will conflict with VIP. I suggest you unload it 1st if you can.


Guys, apparently a lot of people can't seem to get the Icon Pack. I don't know why all sources of it on the internet has been removed but I am uploading it to my site here. Please download it quick. I intend to remove it really soon.

I already had this in the front page. It just takes some patience to look at it. unsure.gif

► Vista Startmenu Button

This simple application will make the cut off start orb to be complete see the image preview above. This application is standalone and can be moved anywhere in the desktop and it can also be run automatically at start up.

Try checking out the new Zune gadget. Its basically a music player on your sidebar.

Greetings ! smile.gif

HmmM .. I am facing some difficulties with the transformation pack that I have downloaded .. not all the icons have been modified and it seems like the theme itself also didnt change unsure.gif
and there are some technical errors that pop out when I was halfway installing it ..

Regards,

You can go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Program then find VTP and click on "uninstall/change" then there is an option to "rebuild icon cache"... it should fix all the icons up.

i have tried to change it according to post #6's step by step customization, but how come  i cant get the side bar to launch and why are my fonts like this?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


and the side bar comes with this error =/, i made sure to get the appropriate updates and hotfix..

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


not to mention yahoo crashes...cant launch control panel(miraculously fixed)

Firstly I don't see anything wrong with your fonts.

Secondly I have uploaded the working files for the sidebar so you might wanna check that one out.

Thirdly, Yahoo is known to crash on windowblinds 5.... but it has been fixed on version 5.5

1) Copy your font

2) Control Panel > Fonts

3) Paste your fonts

good point... but if you read the FAQ section of my step by step methods, it is entirely safe. I wouldnt recommend VTP unless you have absolutely no idea how to use those advance stuff.

I'm glad to know that you guys can now comfortably download it. But need to credit the 1st forumer who sent it to me but I forgot his nick... darn sad.gif

My word 'safe is not about ur step...is about the software...years back, I did try this look alike apple interface and it turned my window into 3rd party...I thought no problem but at last problem comes out and there is no cure...I had no choice that time but to format everything...lost my data lor..sigh..

Hohoho... to be honest I think VTP is not safe. Lets just wait till there is version 6.5 then we'll judge.

Actually if VTP fails, you can go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs then just rebuild items from there. Basically its like 'apply again'..

The startmenu no need to install. Just double click and run. Make sure you have the .NET thing installed.

Basically its makes your Windows XP do what Windows Vista can which is resize the thumbnails! I haven't try but it looks promising.
