Change Vista in two steps

Microsoft's latest operating system, Vista, is currently the topic most talked about by computer fans. Everyone wants to see her, but Vista has strict hardware configuration requirements, this makes it difficult for many friends to run their own low-configuration machines and systems. In fact, the use of software and longhorn style files can fully simulate the ultra-real bright-black Vista operating system on the XP operating system, next, let's change your operating system to a cool black coat.

Step 1: Change the system interface style

Required software:

Uxtheme multi-Patcher 4.0 (: http://www.onlinedown.net/soft/33694.htm)

Longhorn visual style File

Windows Vista uses a very beautiful "bright black" style interface. We can use Longhorn visual style files to achieve this effect. After downloading the compressed package to the local machine, decompress it and open "C: in the windowsresourcesthemes folder, create a folder named "Longhorn" and extract the "shell", "Wallpaper" folder and "longhorn. copy the msstyles file to the "C: windowsresourcesthemeslonghorn" folder. Install the two fonts in the "fonts" folder to the "C: windowsfonts" folder.

Because the Longhorn visual style file installation package does not provide "longhorn. theme is a theme file, which cannot be identified by the XP system. You need to use "uxtheme multi-Patcher" to modify "uxtheme" under "C: windowssystem32. DLL file to use a third-party style file. (Because "uxtheme. dll" is a system file, we recommend that you manually back up it before changing it ). Download "uxtheme multi-Patcher" v4.0ProgramGo to the local machine and follow the prompts of the program. The "Windows File Protection" dialog box will pop up at the end of the installation. Click "cancel" to complete the modification.

After the computer is restarted, right-click the desktop and choose Properties to enter the "appearance" option of "Display Properties. You can see the newly added "Longhorn" style under "window and button". Because the default "segoe UI" font of the "Longhorn" style is fuzzy when English characters are displayed, we recommend that you select tahoma or Arial under "font size ". Click "OK" to exit and enter "C: windowsresourcesthemeslonghornwallpaper". Set Vista beta1 bliss wallpaper to the desktop background manually, and the system interface becomes the Vista style interface.

Step 2: Change the system icon and Style

Required software:

Vista inspirat shell pack (: http://www.onlinedown.net/soft/41874.htm)

Compared with XP, Vista has made many changes to the system icon, which is more delicate and texture-oriented. In terms of system operating style, Vista is much more magnificent than XP, such as customizing the dynamic effects and window shadows after clicking the icon. These effects can all be simulated using the "Vista inspirat shell pack" software. Download the "Vista inspirat shell pack" V1.1 Installation File to run on the local computer.

After the installation is complete, restart the computer and find that the system style interface is changed to the "Vista inspirat shell pack" with the "vista" theme style in white. If you do not like it, you can change the display attribute style to "Longhorn" according to the above description.

So far, all transformation work is over. After the beautification, the Vista style can be simulated on the UI, System icon, icon click dynamics, login interface, and translucent menu style.

Notes:

I. In addition to simulating the Vista system style, the "Vista inspirat shell pack" also comes with the famous dynamic tool bar of the Apple operating system, which is very beautiful and has many functions, the icon connection in the toolbar can be changed at will, just drag and drop with the mouse. You can use [dock setting] [Theme] [load dock Theme] [Default] to change the toolbar to a more practical style. Displays the current time, weather, and current running program. Although it is easy to understand, the toolbar can display thumbnails of word, Photoshop, and other work interfaces when displaying the current running program. Is it considerate. However, the disadvantage in the US is that "objectdock" often fails to read the weather information.

2. Vista-style "window shadow", "icon click dynamic", and "dynamic toolbar" are brilliant, however, to a certain extent, it affects the system running speed, if this is not necessary, you can use the program group in the "Start" menu to disable projects such as "objectdock", "ubericon", and "Y" Z shadow.
