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

Vishal Gupta · 12-10-2006, 05:53 PM

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.

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.

Download Here

ruthless · 14-10-2006, 12:46 PM

I downloaded the archive.
Now what should i do

Vishal Gupta · 14-10-2006, 01:23 PM

^^
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

ruthless · 14-10-2006, 01:37 PM
