The only real way for more then the "look" and changes made in XP is to have originally downloaded a beta release used for evaluation purposes. These addons are basically changes in the overall appearance while someone will eventually have something for running the sidebar in XP. Don't expect it to be exactly the same with a 3rd party endeavor there.


One thing about icons is that they are simply another item to display. The Vista and Vista look alikes won't use any more memory then currently seen in XP. Articles have been written about icons in the XP system tray chewing up memory? They don't. As for the amount of icons seen in the screen shot it simply makes ready access in somewhat of an organized manner? You don't have to keep dropping down the Program menu to drop another and another by simply creating desktop shortcuts.

PC eye - Thank you, that makes it clearer.

When going to create one from something in the Programs menu there is one word of caution however. Make you drag the duplicate not the original onto the desktop. That will usually have (2) next to or under the name there and be at the bottom of the list. Once you have on the desktop simply right click on the copy and open the general tab to remove the (?) number seen.

The icone tweeker doesn't use any memory at all, the time it's un use is when you open it to change how the icons look! It's great!

You can get the vista toolbar thing for the side for XP:

It's looks amazing, but it does use a fair bit of RAM.

Hope it helps!

If you have toruble with the link there you can download the Vista sidebar made for XP as seen at http://vista-sidebar-xp.en.softonic.com/ie/52421 It does kind of compress things down a little as you can see from the screen shot here.

You're welcome

You'll have to be more descriptive.

You've downloaded the Vista theme off Deviantart and you also download the theme patcher, you use the patch (it tells you how) and then you restart and then double click on the theme you downloaded, Get back to me if you still have problems
