VistaVG: A New Visual Style for XP Released by Me !

[Vishal Gupta]

Hi guys!

I just wanted to share 2 visual styles, that I released a few days back at DeviantART. :)

Initially I created them only for my personal use coz none of the available visual styles meet to my requirements, but then I thought of releasing them and now its done. :D

So pls take a look at them and post ur comments. ;)

For those ppl who want "Common Tasks" in Left-side instead of Bottom, d/l following file:

http://www.MegaShare.com/111669

extract it and then copy it to following folder:

%windir%\Resources\Themes\VistaVG\Shell\NormalColo r

There will be an existing file with same name, just overwrite that.

[ruthless]

I downloaded the archive.
Now what should i do:oops:

[Vishal Gupta]

^^
Extract the contents and u'll get a folder named VistaVG.
Copy this folder to %windir%\Resources\Themes\ folder and u'll get this them in the Appearance tab of Desktop Properties. Otherwise u can directly double-click on the VistaVG.msstyles file in VistaVG folder ;)

And make sure u hv patched the uxtheme.dll file to allow 3rd parth visual styles, if u hv not then d/l and run Neowin Uxtheme Patcher (http://www.llbbl.com/data/nw_uxpatcher.zip) :)

[ruthless]

The link Shows the following error::(
Error 404

You have reached a non-existant url. This address is either outdated or incorrectly linked.

@ruthless
I changed all icons of Shell32.dll file using Resource Hacker!

[king007]

Consider me a n00b at this, i followed you steps as you have posted but except my taskbar nothing has changed, folder icons, pointers, wallpapers etc etc havent changed at all!!

Same for me also, only the taskbar and start menu has changed.... :(

Good work though Visha Gupta, efforts appreciated, repped u! :)

[Vishal Gupta]

thnx buddy :)

But its just a visual style na, it'll not change icons, mouse pointers, wallpapers, etc. U'll hv to change them manually :)

[king007]

^^^Ok Vis(hal Gup)ta, ;) !

I understand that its just a visual style, anyways like I said, good job!
Thanks again for making my task bar and start menu look beautiful :).

But the icons get cut in the start menu (i know u said to increase size of icons) but it actually makes all icons too big and wierd, thats the only "neglectable" issue.

[Vishal Gupta]

thnx buddy :)

But regarding to the icons, its not a issue or BUG, actually I made this VS for x48 icon size! :)

[aquamatrix]

ohk good enough though :)

[ax3]

hi vishal ...... i have downloaded some visual styles from deviantart.com ........ after installing & lateron changing the style 2 other ....... later this new styles name doesnt appear in the list, again have 2 install it ...... is it a bug or any other problem ?


try this theme or VS ....... its 2 good ........


Blue Turquesa
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/4270868/

[Vishal Gupta]

I think u didnt copy those VS to %windir%\Resources\Themes folder, thats why those VS r not displayed in the list! :)

[s18000rpm]

Superb Theme you've made Vishal G. & very small in size too (for downloading).

But i have only one problem, for which you've already given a remedy-- its the text/icon cut-off in start menu.

Isnt there any other way to solve this, because when i turn ON "Large Icons", My desktop becomes kinda TINY (with those large Icons).

take a look your self

By the way Thanks Again for Your Visual Theme Mr. Vista.
Your theme really livens up my Desktop with this Lamborghini Gallardo

[Vishal Gupta]

Actually I created that VS for x48 icon size coz in VISTA Desktop Icons are shown in BIG size by default and I kinda liked them :)

May be I'll create another version for small icons in future ;)

thnx for ur appreciations :D

[ax3]

thanx vishal 4 the reply ........ yes u r right ...... folder name was wrong ......

[max_demon]

cool

[iMav]

vishal i hv installed bricopacks' visat inspiration .... and if i install ur theme wat changes will occur can they co-exist .... as i see from ur screenshot the disk capacity is shown under the drive which i currently dont hav and that is the feature that i really want .... besides also the icons

[s18000rpm]

Thanks for the quick reply Vishal Gupta

Please do make a version for small icons :p

[Vishal Gupta]

thnx guys for ur comments :)

@mAV3

All such packs just install a visual style in %windir%\Resources\Themes folder along with other stuffs, so u can safely copy my VS to that folder and apply it. All other changes will remain unchanged and u can use my VS ;)

And regarding to the status bar for drives, actually I got that utility many months before from a site (can't remember the name :confused: ), but for u I hv uploaded the file here (http://www.MegaShare.com/66876). So just d/l the file, extract it and then run the EXE file and voilla, u can see the status bar :D Actually this utility contains some icons and it detects the size of the drive and then sets appropriate icon for it in the registry! :)

OK!

I think u guys will like it: :D

VistaVG v2.0 (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41545056/)

[iMav]

thanx vishal .... and wat my question was reffering to was that vista inspirant allows me to hav the common tasks on top and also hav the vista styled icon bar on the top of the screen (like u hv in ur screen shot) ..... will all that remain same and only the icons and colors will change and the common tasks will be displayed as they are and the vista styled icon bar will remain as it is???

and yeah the status bar rox .... thanx ..... however ... i found that there is a bug ..... when u browse for selection and u get a dropdown menu the icons are not displayed

here's a screenshot ....

http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/9020/untitledym7.jpg

[Vishal Gupta]

Ur dock will remain unchanged but Common tasks will be changed to left!

But if u want to show them at Top as they r showing currently in the vista inspirant pack, then just copy the Shellstyle.dll file, which u'll find in "Shell folder of ur current theme and paste it in my VistaVG's Shell -> NormalColor folder!

Regarding to ur mentioned BUG, its not a BUG in theme, actually the theme has nothing to do with those icons :) And its working perfectly here in my comp ;)

I think u hv to reset Icon Cache and they will be there again :)

[s18000rpm]

Thanx @Vishal Gupta for the Version 2.

[Vishal Gupta]

I'm glad u liked it buddy :)

[Ace Ventura]

Awesome job, I liked the visual stye

Keep the good work!!

Expecting more !!

[Vishal Gupta]

thnx buddy ;)

[sabret00the]

really nice man!!

[thewisecrab]

Its cooooooooooooooll but when i open d start menu (i have XP) the links such as my computer,my docs are partially hidden is there any way i can fix this?
the visual style however is xcellent

[s18000rpm]

@thewisecrab, you should read the "NOTE" in the download site.
you have to change the icon size.

& if you dont prefer large icons, then download the "Version 2" from the same site. the link's under "Update"

[vasulic]

[iMav]

vishal ne way of incorporating ur theme along with the semi transparent title bars and also where are the common tasks placed in ur theme are the at the left (xp default) or on top .... brico packs vista style????

[Vishal Gupta]

Sorry for the late answer coz I was not online since 2 days ;)

1.) Transparent titlebars are only possible in WindowBlinds skins, its not possible in msstyles! :(

2.) The common tasks are at left side in my theme! :)

[s18000rpm]

hi Vishal (Mr. Vista) :D, i have a very unsual problem, which has surfaced just yesterday.

My problem=> i'm not able to select any theme EXCEPT default Windows Classic & XP. even if i double click on your theme "windows visual style" icon located here="C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\VistaVG" the "Display Properties" window pops up & shows only "Royal XP Noir" theme & the default themes. no other theme is accessible.

i've been using your Theme (VistaVG),another one (Vista Z4), XP Noir for very long time now.

recently i unistalled "Object Dock Icon packager/Installer" (expired trial s/w), which also Un-Installed some Icon (third party) ,which is common.
but those icons are not uninstalled in other "User Account" & all the Themes work fine in that Account. (both accounts are "Administrator acc.)

P.S. i installed Object dock in C: Drive, but its not there(as a result of un-installation, so how are all those icons still working.

i ran the Tune Up Utilities 2007 "1-Click Maintanence" & CCleaner in that account & its clean now. but still all those icons & theme work in that acc.

[manas]

Can I try to answer that ?

First, it looks like you will have to patch your uxtheme.dll file again. Download the Uxtheme patcher and run it.

Secondly, goto the user account and delete the Icon Cache. You can do this using TweakUI --- Repair ---- Rebuild Icons

Download Uxtheme patcher (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/UXTheme-MultiPatcher.shtml)

Download Tweak UI (http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe)

[s18000rpm]

Thanks for your suggestions @manas.

but i did not install "uxtheme.dll", coz when i tried it, it showed me this \/\/ message & Exited.
http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/7936/untitledag9.th.jpg (http://img459.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitledag9.jpg)

btw i tried the "Icon Repair" from the TuneUp Utilities 2007, but nothing changed.(after taking these actions i posted here for help).
but i hadent Deleted the "IconCache.dll" located here
==>C:\Documents and Settings\BMW M3 GTR\Local Settings\Application Data" (the file located here has to be deleted. right? or is it some other one.)

there are two files, one-> "IconCache.dll" & "IconCache.db_313" @ that location. i deleted both.
------------------
Update
------------------
I did as you said, deleting the icon...file & repairing Icons using Tweak UI, but No Change. :(

do i have to "register" any dll file??? :confused:

[Vishal Gupta]

OK! I hv come :D

Buddy, the error u r getting bcoz of u hv stored the Setup files in "C:\Windows" folder, isnt it?
There must be I386 folder under "C:\Windows" folder. Just rename the folder and run the patch again ;)

[s18000rpm]

but i did not use this patcher @ first place, i've been using your themes without this.
is IconPackager behind this.

anyways, i've renamed those folders (i386 in Windows & C: drive).
i've patched & now about to restart the PC.
__________
updated

know what. as you've Guessed. IT WORKED. :D

thanks guys for Helpin me out. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/fdm/bow.gif

btw are those folders neccessary (i386), b'coz as you mentioned that i've stored Setup files in WINDOWS folder, it seems to me its not needed.

its been there from the beggining, i guess the OEM XP (in my case HP Pavilion) store them there as default. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/950/upset.gif

[Vishal Gupta]

I'm glad my trick worked :D
afaik, u can safely delete the folder bcoz this folder contains Setup files ;)
Try to move the folder to Recycle Bin, if it doesnt give ne error, then u can safely delete it :)

[manas]

Glad to hear your problem was solved. :)

[rajivrocks]

even i faced the same problem while installing the theme but now i have successfully installed it:p

my problem is that the top right corner is split up.. i mean the close button n all tht are not together:(...plz see the attachment

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/shankarganesh/vistavg.jpgthat was good, vishal.

the title of the active window, sometimes, when maximised is not that much catchy. it's tough to read. can you rectify it, vishal?

WHICH SOFTWARE UR USING TO TAKE THIS SCREEN SHOT CAN U TELL ME
The question is not to me, though, I did this: pressed the PRINTSCREEN button on the keyboard, opened MS Painted, pasted using Ctrl+V, saved it as a .JPG, uploaded it to photobucket, and then linked it using the http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/frech/d005.gif tags on the forum. it's pretty easy.

[s18000rpm]

i guess @rajivrocks used a Camera. coz the corners have round edge.

i use the "Print Scr" (print screen) key on my keyboard.

just press that key-> open "Paint"-> "Ctrl+V"->save as jpeg. :wink: thats all.

try reinstalling the UXtheme

for reinstalling the uxtheme & its link, please refer this post (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=371770&postcount=76) by @manas

does the other theme also show the same spaced out boxes.
______________________________

@Tech Geek, i didnt know this method before joining this forum.
might be the same case with @NIGHTMARE too. :confused:

[Vishal Gupta]

@rajivrocks
Its happening bcoz u might changed some settings in Appearance tab, like horizontal spacing, icon size, etc. or u might hv changed the fonts?
Just apply the default Luna style and then again apply my theme, and all will be fine :)

@ketanbodas
Now-a-days I'm having my exams, but may be in future I'll release another one :D

@shankar_ganesh
I tried to make it look-a-like Vista, but it may be changed using resource hacker. If I'll get time, I'll try to change it ;)

[rajivrocks]

@s18000rpm
Even i use the "Print Scr" method...:)

Hey buddy.............
Form where can i get the original win vista theme for winxp.........

[Vishal Gupta]

^^
There is no as such original Vista theme for XP. ;)
All themes available on net are custom made like mine.

[casanova]

Hey Vishal, I used ur theme today. V1.0 works fine for me. But u missed out 1 thing. Currently there is no click event possible on the user image. U should enable it to go to User Accounts. Nice efforts and good theme. Bravo

[Vishal Gupta]

^^
Yeah! I disabled it but I'll enable it in future versions. ;)

[casanova]

^^^
Waiting eagerly for that future version. I wud prefer the details applet to the left instead of it being in the bottom. Why?? We cannot see a thumbnail when it is below.

[Vishal Gupta]

^^
In Vista the common tasks are displayed at bottom and looks better than XP one, thats why I placed them in bottom in my theme. ;)
But if u want it in left-side, then d/l following file:

http://www.MegaShare.com/111669

extract it and then copy it to following folder:

%windir%\Resources\Themes\VistaVG\Shell\NormalColo r

There will be an existing file with same name, just overwrite that.

[casanova]

Yeh thx vishal for the new link. I know it is displayed at the bottom in vista. BTW I like it at the left hand in XP and bottom in Vista
I dunno why..
Thx again. U have still sticked to ur perfect location. I said u to revert back to it long back and u did it. So nice of u.

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ thnx buddy. I'll release the next version very soon. ;)

[NIGHTMARE]

My restart option is not working perfectly when i press restart window shutting down but after few second it stop and show a black screen then i press button from cabinet manually:confused:

[Vishal Gupta]

It has nothing to do with the theme buddy. ;)
It'll be better if u start a new topic for it. :)
Make sure that atx is enabled in BIOS settings and also make sure that ur VGA drivers are up-to-date.

[alok4best]

Hey guys..May be u have already come across it..I found 2 cool screen savers at some site...these are based on Vista and meant for WinXP users..hope u like them too...Download link is http://www.savefile.com/files/581954

Hey Vishal, I used ur theme today. V1.0 works fine for me. But u missed out 1 thing. Currently there is no click event possible on the user image. U should enable it to go to User Accounts. Nice efforts and good theme. Bravo
