Vistapack FAQ

Question and answer time!!!:

Q:/ I can't find the file used as the wallpaper. I want to edit it.

A:/ Look in the Vistapack directory that's located in the Program files folder.
There is a extra's folder, check it out.

Q:/ Can u put the vista start menu in the pack please.

A:/ No, I am sorry but that is not something I can do...
Win 2000 has a very different menu compared to Win XP.
You could try to see if the Vistart works on 2000, but I have little hope. sorry.

Q:/ I am just wondering if this works with Windows XP SP3?
 
A:/ Yes, it is confirmed that the Vistapack works with the new SP3, I tested it my self :d
But the UXtheme patch is not working in the last version.
I will release a special build that is created especially
for this new build, with the new UXtheme patcher.

Q:/ Did you know that there is a virus in the Vistapack?

A:/ Well, dudes... if you really think that there is a virus in the pack I have 1 thing to say get a good virus scanner!!! of course there is no virus in the pack, but some programs like the vista drive must have access to the registry to work correctly. And if you use a free or a outdated virus scanner this will be reported as a virus. Trust me, I make the Vista drive myself from the script that I got from the original one. So please, don't worry and think before you report something like that...

Q:/ But one little wish/question: How can I turn off transparent effect on the taskbar? I want it solid and not transparent.

A:/ That's easy, just uninstall the T-bar program. That's the one that makes your taskbar transparent.

Q:/ This is great, why don't you share you talents with the Reactos project?

A:/ I don't think that Reshacking is on the same level as a Gui developer, but thanx anyway :).

Q:/ 1 suggestion if I might be so bold? I'd love a way to have the program ignore certain programs.

A:/ If you want to have the skin engine to skip certain programs, open the exclude.dat file in the True Transparency folder. Its located in the program files dir, just open it with notepad.

Q:/ What I hope to see in the near future is documentation and tool tips when selecting which components to install.

A:/ Tooltips done, documentation is underway.

Q:/ Hope you could at least give the user a choice for this font's format for it is a nice design but not very readable for many people we're sure.

A:/ If you are talking about the font used in the skinned windows, then you could always choose a different skin. Also please note that I didn't make that skinning engine people.

Q:/ You should ask for donations for the amount of work you put into it. I am waiting desperately for when it comes out beta.

A:/ Look for the PayPal link on the left side of the page, and about the beta status, well I am in beta from the beginning, two years now. This only indicates that I am not satisfied with the resource status. Only then will I get rid of the beta. But the patcher is out of beta, it works and is proven stable.

Q:/ But to the version XP Italians never thinks of us anybody?

A:/ If you want me to include your language, you have to translate all the dialogs that are in English after the installment of the pack. Send them and I will put it in the pack for you, no problem...
