Anyone suggest a decent XP theme to use? "apart from the classic" lol that users little memory.

I'm currently using a Vista Media Center Theme that works with xp, but getting bored of it.

vistart + truetransparency + wallpaper = win

Code: /u/882366/XP2Vista.7z

Alternatively I've included the VistaVG theme, but you won't really need that if you're going with vistart/tt

Had a play around with TrueTransparency, nice little tool for vista themes within a second.

Loaded VistaVG into Tuneup's Styler, not sure if this is a problem my side or the theme as my other theme works perfect.

I'm sure you can see the problem a mile of.

Its the same on each color theme.

erm, you were supposed to place the vistavg theme in "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes"

anyways, it works for me, but for the most part I just use the vorb + vistart + tt, and that's about it...all 3 are light on resources...the only muncher would be vistart with 20 MB ram

Ok, so here is the quickest way to make it look like vista.

Now some of the app here are in beta. Don't worry, they work OK, but sometimes viexplore forgets to always switch the old xp explorer style with the vista one, and the viorb shortcuts spot tends to leave a space, but when you click on the taskbar it goes back to normal.

What this pack contains?

  • TrueTransparency
  • ViOrb
  • ViStart
  • ViExplore

All 4 apps consume a total of 29.06 MB Ram

After you unrar the archive, and launch the apps, notice that they will also be installed into C:\Program Files, except for TT.

The options are very simple, so there is no need for extra explinations.

Once you install all 4 products, this will be the final form. (Note: The dark part in the theme in File and Folder Tasks is from my Zune Theme)

Just go for Luna Royale, you never want something else.

Luna Royale Is nice both in blue and black and works well.

The only thing is with the compacts or alt's they have the same problem as before.
