Vista Transformation Pack 6.0 RC1
This is a pack for transforming your XP skins, templates, themes .... mainly the whole XP look to the new Windows Vista look. It does not change any windows components or system files. It just alters some of them so that a new look is seen on the screen. The best part is that it has this new Glass 2K theme, which I think is pretty much similar to the original Vista theme. You can actually save the transparency level for different windows and tell it to remember. It says during the installation that the system might get slow coz of the running of the Glass theme. But my system actually got faster, and I ain't compalaining at all.
But overall a nice download. Worth the time spent. But please read the FAQs (which no one does), but read for this one. The following is the actual description given by the designer. Happy downloading.
Vista Transformation Pack will give to your Windows XP system the new and cool look of Microsoft's future operating system: Windows Vista. The pack changes most of the system icons, skins and toolbars and also adds new enhancements to your desktop such as a dock bar or a different system tray clock. It is free and does a great job of giving machine a look similar to Vista.
It does have uninstallation options in case you decide you want to get rid of it, so there really isn’t anything to lose. However, when you install the software it has to overwrite some system files (it modifies things like the boot screen) so Windows will prompt you stating that your system files have been changed. It will ask whether you want to change them back or leave them, so just leave them if you want the system to function properly.
From now on you can update Vista Transformation Pack without uninstalling and you can even integrate Vista Transformation Pack into Windows setup files. (Still experimental, though but most of them are fine enough to be implemented) This release has a lot of update covering from build 5472 so you’ll get much more icons update and much better visual styles and WindowBlinds skin, with bugs from earlier release fixed.
Changes in Version 6.0 RC1:
- Added browsable System files source for uninstallation so user can restore original system files from setup CD during uninstallation
- Added fixing file’s PE checksum after resource patching to keep files more secure
- Added Launch &Maintenance Center in transformation destination in case user already have transformed the system
- Added missing modifype.exe for Windows XP operating system
- Added partially x64 support for Vista visual stuff but not for system files (experimental)
- Added option to reserved updated system files after uninstallation or not
- Added skipping system file verification patch on setup integration
- Fixed bugs caused by deleting important files from integration after transformation
- Fixed bugs in file-patching engine for uxtheme.dll and resources data
- Fixed themes uninstallation problem (Themes still exist)
- Fixed user picture’s frame border disappearance in logon screen
- Removed manual transformation and let user decide to modify system files or not instead
- Removed un-neccessary system files operations
- Updated final Vista sounds scheme
- Updated Glass2k install option to acknowledge about possible system slow down
- Updated system files transforming method to use PendingFileRenameOperations trick
- Updated updating the transformation to act like never applying the transformation before
- Updated visual styles- Fixed ToolbarBackground sizing mismatched from real Vista style
- Fixed CaptionButton alignment problem when maximized in Vertical shellstyle WindowBlinds theme
- Fixed shellstyle background color mismatch in Aero Style (Vista - Beta 2) in some areas
