ReelFiles Posted August 25, 2006 Posted August 25, 2006 I usually apply the Ultimate Vista Icon Systems Patch and either VistaCG visual style (after using Multipatcher 5) or Vista 32x by Jemaho V2.0 (The Forgotten One) for Windowblinds 5. I don't care for the cut-off Vista orb or the log off or shut down text So I remove those via the registry or using the LSpatch included in VistaCG. I also don't care much for the transparency of the application background, I either want just the border transparent or nothing. The Vista Aero cursors and Vista sound pack are also easily found through Google. Those are just my personal preferences, and it is not as quick or as simple as applying the transformation pack. Good find, it should suit others that aren't as obsessive as me just fine. Here's what I use as my Vista desktop's wallpaper: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbooter Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 how much does the mem usage go up with this skin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitfit1 Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 how much does the mem usage go up with this skin? Lclock.EXE adds 1,396K. Other than that i can't find any difference. In my case i don't use it with Glass running(i don't like see through pages), so that may add some more if you have it running.

kitfit1 Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 When i installed v5 i chose the update rather than a fresh install, not a good choice. It has caused numerous bsods and the rebuild icon cmd box kept coming up on every reboot. A back up of my os on True Image got me back to a stable os. The moral of this story is uninstall v4 and then install v5 even though you are offered the option of an update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
centy Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 I updated from VTP4 with no problems. The icon rebuild cache thingy will run as long as postcon.bat is in the statup folder. Once it has been run once it can be safely removed. You need to double check that all programs are closed when running the VTP5 installer.

Yes the icon rebuild can be removed, but the Bsods could'nt Anyway all's up and running fine now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundx98 Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 No full HD playback in 32-bit Vista. http://www.guru3d.com/newsitem.php?id=4299 And of course no unsigned drivers (MBM5 and most other tweakers programs) for the 64-bit version. And a nice high price for this non-performance Looks like I'll be using XP32 and x64 Edition for quite a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zarathrustra Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 This things great... I just added it to my fresh install. The transperency of windows is a little annoying, but I'm loving the taskbar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
