Vista theme for everybody!

JoeTom93 · 02-23-2007, 02:17 AM

my start up menu is really weird. My documents and everything on the right of the start menu is taken over by everything on the left. (not completely) How can I fix this

There's two versions of the theme for different resolutions, try this one:

It's alright, although the thing that kind of makes it bad is the start menu, how half is black half is white, they should have one half black, and the other half like a darker colour, but not as dark as the black, to make it correspond. Also I reckon the windows clash with the darkness of the theme, if you're going to make a darkish theme you gotta co-ordinate to get it to look better.

But good work on finding it.

Look at the theme I'm using it tends to work a bit better.

I used this theme and also changed my icons and I have the drive status icons like Vista has.I also have the cursors for Vista, and when its busy the little circle spins around. I had to install some other things for all this, but no extra software has to be run for it to work.

This thing doesn't work...what file is there to even look in? Its just a rar. and according to the web site you MUST copy into file. Help?

Here's a tip for you MatrixEVO, You see the way you have the bar along the left of the documents window, you can remove it to make it look like Vista...
Click Tools, then go to folder options and then on the general tab click use windows classic folders... It'll look like this:

You'll have to get toolbar styler if you want the Vista toolbar

Also, Try both of the links I posted to the different versions, it'll get rid of the half icons you have in the start bar.

ADE, It does work.
You install the patch that is linked to in the first post, download the theme from the first post...

Yeah, You need to open the .rar file, Use WinRAR or something similair.

You Don't need to copy the file anywhere, did you not read the instruction I put on the first post???

You just open the file and double click on the .mmstyle file, it's green and yellow.
