Microsoft's latest operating system Vista is now the most talked about computer fans, everyone wants to see her, but Vista's hardware configuration requirements are more demanding, which makes many friends It is difficult to operate the machine and system at a low speed. In fact, using software and Longhorn-style files, you can simulate the ultra-real black-and-white Vista operating system on the XP operating system. Let's put a cool black coat on your operating system.
first step: replacing the system interface style
required software:
UXTheme Multi-Patcher 4.0 (Download: http: //www.onlinedown.Net/soft /33694.htm)
Longhorn Visual Style File
Windows Vista uses a very beautiful "bright black" style interface, which we can use Longhorn visual style files to download, download After compressing the package into the machine, unzip it, open the "C:WINDOWSResourcesThemes" folder, create a new folder named "Longhorn", and extract the "Shell", "Wallpaper" folder and " Copy the Longhorn.msstyles file to the "C:WINDOWSResourcesThemesLonghorn" folder. Install the two fonts in the "Fonts" folder into the "C:WindowsFonts" folder.
Since the "longhorn.theme" theme file is not provided in the Longhorn visual style file installation package, the XP system is unrecognizable. This requires the "UX:me Multi-Patcher" to modify the "C:WINDOWSSystem32". The "uxtheme.dll" file achieves the purpose of using third-party style files. (Because "uxtheme.dll" is a system file, it is recommended that you back it up manually before making changes). Download the "UXTheme Multi-Patcher" V4.0 version of the program to the machine, follow the program prompts, in the final installation of the system will pop up the "Windows File Protection" dialog box, click the "Cancel" button to end the modification.
After restarting the computer, go to the "Appearance" option of "Display Properties" on the desktop by right-clicking [Properties]. Under the "Window and Buttons" you can see the newly added "Longhorn" style. Because the "Longhorn" style default "Segoe UI" font will be blurred when displaying English characters, it is recommended that you select under "Font Size". "Tahoma" or "Arial". Click "OK" to exit, and finally enter "C:WindowsResourcesThemesLonghornWallpaper" to manually set the Vista Beta1 Bliss theme wallpaper as the desktop background, and the system interface becomes the Vista style interface.
Step 2: Replace the system icon and system style
Required software:
Vista Inspirat Shell Pack (Download address: http://www.onlinedown .Net/soft/41874.htm)
Vista's system icons have a lot of changes compared to XP, more delicate and more textured. In terms of system operation style, Vista is also much more gorgeous than XP, for example: dynamic effects after clicking icons, and customization of effects such as window shadows. These effects can be simulated by the "Vista Inspirat Shell Pack" software, which downloads the "Vista Inspirat Shell Pack" V1.1 installation file to the local computer.
After the installation is complete, restart the computer and find that the system style interface has become the "Vista" theme style with "Vista Inspirat Shell Pack" in white tones. If you don't like it, change it to "Longhorn" style in the [Display Properties] as described above.
this point, all the renovation work is over. The beautified system can simulate the style of Vista in terms of interface, system icon, icon click dynamic, login interface, and translucent menu style.
A few points:
First, "Vista Inspirat Shell Pack" in addition to the analog Vista system style, but also comes with the famous dynamic toolbar of the Apple operating system, very beautiful, of course, a lot of functions, The icon connection in the toolbar can be changed at will, just drag and drop with the mouse. [Dock Setting] [Theme] [Load Dock Theme] [Default] can change the toolbar to a more practical style. You can display the current time, weather, current running program, and more. Although the sparrow is small and complete, the toolbar can display the thumbnails of the working interface such as Word and Photoshop when displaying the current running program. It is considered very thoughtful. But the fly in the ointment is that "ObjectDock" often fails to read when reading weather information.
Second, Vista style "window shadow", "icon click dynamic", "dynamic toolbar" and other effects are very beautiful, but to a certain extent affect the speed of the system, do not need You can disable items such as "ObjectDock", "UberIcon", "Y'z Shadow" from the program group in the "Start" menu.
