    Hey everybody,

    Just bought StyleXP, and was wondering if anybody knew where I could download a windows vista icon package thats compatible with StyleXP (eg - *.iconset / *.iconzip / *.iptheme / *.ip / *.bit)

    I downloaded the vista icons (*.ico) but cant seem to figure out how to apply them via StyleXP...

    Thanx! :D

    I managed to download an iconpackage set, common sense led me to install the iconpackage 3.0 trial version, then use the iconpackage set I found and save it as "Vista.ip" (a valid Style XP extension)

    Since I'm not gonna buy Iconpackage, I uninstalled it (only a 30day trial) and thought i could use StyleXP to set it... I opened StyleXP and added the new "Vista.ip" set I had previously saved... but when I applied the set, none of the icons changed!!!

    Can anybody help me out??? :rolleyes:

    You need Icontranslate to use 3rd party icon packages with StyleXP. Get it here: http://www.tgtsoft.com/download.php

    This has an iconpackager theme or a patcher to completely replace the default Windows files and the icons they contain.

    Commentary on this. Read this if you decide to replace your icons as opposed to using an iconpackager theme with StyleXP. http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=446140&st=0

    Algraze, could you post a screenshot of your desktop now with the Vista icons as I would be interested in how it looks to the real Vista?

    :)

    Looks good with the icons :)

    just need to really find an Aero Glass look-a-like theme for the proper look and one of the newer Vista type wallpapers.

    Thnx! :)

    Tried to find an Aero Glass theme before I posted in MG, no luck... I'll keep an eye out for it though...

    Tried out YAFVC3 Final Build 1.5 / Aero 5270 v 1.1 and Aero 5203 but they werent that good (not even gonna bother posting a screenshot)...

    The Vista Royale one you gave me was 30times better... BTW, if you find an Aero Glass look-a-like theme I'd appreciate it if you could post the link...

    See you later! ;)

    There are only two problems with this theme:
    (1) Have to set the active window border to a size 7 manually, everytime I restart
    (2) "Click-Hold-Drag" (-ing) windows accross is a guessing game... can almost never get it at the first try...

    Pobody's Nerfect! ;)

    No problem Nokia! Do you mean the Vista Transformation Pack? What does it install?
    (I already have the most recent vista icons and a couple of themes installed, and dont know if I should bother installing it)

    Already searched and there's abouth sixty threads on Vista alone, can you be more specific?
