I really like the Transformation Pack, and thanks much for sharing it, but one thing I've noticed is that sometimes the Start Menu occasionally either shows the wrong icons or shows highlights for icons even when they are not being highlighted by my mouse. It's not a fatal flaw, but it can be a bit annoying.

Isn't one of the bad things about Vista the amount of processing power it requires? What does this take? Video card requirements?
Eh, I don't need another process going. I already have 54 going pretty much constantly. |

Hmm...I'm good with my Windows Xp Theme. I sometimes make my computer look like Windows 95 to make it run faster.
Too chicken to install this Windows Vista Theme thing. It modifies System folder files (yikes!). It looks really nice and cool though. |

thats pretty nice, i guess its alot nicer than the xp bar. i hate the xp bar, it lacks depth and balance. the start menu icon pisses me off extremely. although i woudnt mind switching to this theme, i'll be tolerant of the standard xp theme as it seems to be the least buggy. 3rd party gui systems have always crashed on my pc. gets really irritating at times. i'll just wait until vista ofically comes out before i feel the gui design ;]

I can't belive that people would actually use this.
If your computer can support this "transformation pack" and still have proccessor capacity to spare, why not use Vista? This is just a massive memory and CPU hog. If you want a pretty (non-functional) OS, use a Mac. |

It looks very nice... but, what about the system performace???
It needs much memory? Because, maybe is seen very well, but it can that the system becomes slow, and for many the yield is much more important that the appearance. Single a commentary, that can help you at the time of installing aplicacioes in its PC.

I advise you not to Install it if you plan on UnInstalling it. When trying to do this in an earlier version of the program, it *BLEEP*ed up my registry, command prompt, and my system shell. I ended up having to do a total reinstallation of windows XP to rid of it.

QUOTE(scab_dog @ Jul 12 2006, 12:46 PM)  Just somethign that i recently noticed, when i installed the Tranformation pack, the process explorer.exe took a hell of a lot of ram. about 100mb at times. I'm not sure if it is caused by the transformatuon pack or not, but it went away when i changed back to the classic windows appereance. Usually Themes and Appereance changes do slow down the perfomance but i never seen it to that extent. (This was on other computer, a crusty one) I bought a proffesional looking WINDDOWS XP the other dday, and it turned out that it had a vista theme! It was beautiful, but then the OS was pirated so everything was a fake modification to the XP. The OS was slow. I had my PC checked by a programmer and he is thinking of sueing the store where I bought it from. |
