What icon? could you be more specific with your question?

I found an alternative to LogonXp, It's called FrontMotion. I have not tried this as I'm no longer using XP, but from the descriptions and screens from the site, it looks pretty promising.

Features

* User reconfigurable logon interface
* Interactive Macromedia Flash Themes
* Remote Desktop support in Windows XP and Terminal Services support.
* Fast User Switching support in Windows XP (Standalone and Domain Mode)
* Configurable Windows 2000 or Windows XP security behavior (Runs Task Manager on Ctrl-Alt-Del)
* Screen Rotation support
* Windows XP Password Reset Wizard support.
* No DLL hacking required. Safe even after Service Pack upgrades.
* Built-in 'recovery mode'.

Check out the Webpage, which has a neat little flash that displays the logons in action.

After installing this, try out Flahorn's Skin for FrontMotion called Energy Milestone 1

Author's instructions to install:
How to install:
1.Download and instal FrontMotion Login
2.Unpack logon to the folder "Program Files\FrontMotion Login\Themes"
3.Open Control Panel in the classic view
4.Click on the FrontMotion Login, choose "Energy[your screen resolution]"
5.Go to "Advanced" tab and check "Use FMLogon (reguires reboot)"
6.Restart your Windows

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you're talking about the gadget and how to close them, just click on the little x on the top right of the gadget or right click and close from there.

Well, accordimg to the FAQS on the website:

Topdesk = ALT+TAB

Flip3d = Winkey + TAB

VTP 6 short for Vista Customization Pack Ver.6 is an all in one package which include those little applets that complete the Vista look.

RC2 by JuanPerez is a WindowBlind5 Skin, only WB5 can enable the transparency on your titlebars and taskbar.

Main skin = WB5
Misc. applets = VTP6

Yeah, thats the idea.

I have no idea what this program is and does. Its probably safer to stick to WB5 since it does the Per-pixel blending fine.

You're really lucky

Don't forget to credit the owner and photographer of the wallpapers, Hamad Darwish for those crystal clear and perfect photographs.

Do it the manual way, take a photo with a camera!

I have never used VTP, but I'm assuming the sidebar provided in VTP is Windows Sidebar. In that case: to re-open sidebar, look for the directory in program files it should be named "Windows sidebar". the sidebar.exe file is in there.

To hide taskbar, simply right click on it and go to properties, under the tasbar tab check "auto hide taskbar". Just scroll your mouse over it to make it reappear again.

Dude... I already answered your question a few pages back..

Kay gotcha. Coming back to victorlaw's question: so since VTP's sidebar is Thoosje's sidebar, I think there is a shortcut to the sidebar in the start menu for you to access whenever you wanna re-open it. If you want it to run everytime you login just drag the .exe into your "startup" folder in the start menu.

Alrighty. Juan Perez's RC2 skin is nice and all, but since the forward and backward button are actually part of the titlebar, it doesn't serve any functionality and it looks real ugly when you maximize any window.

Damn nice ! I can see animation on the stripes too.

This is a common problem that is present in all skins, make sure your icons are of the proper size. its either 32px or 48px. Try changing your icon size to either 32 if it is already in 48 or vice versa. This'll fix the icon overlapping in the start menu.

cheers.

Cool good to know you fixed that mundane problem.


I never really like Milork's skin or anyone else's for that matter. jemaho's one is way better than the millions of "vista" copy skins out there, He'd provide atleast two sub styles for his skin (32px and 48px). So no problems with the icons & Its about the cleanest and most usable one in my opinion. But the one skin that really started it all was Kol's VistaXP which for some reason was cease and desist'd by M$ back then.

I didn't say it was unavailable.. The skin resources say otherwise to those who claim he "stole" from Kol's skin..
