Last night i discovered a little reg tweak that makes XP cope better with things...apparently it's supposed to be how Vista will run, 15% percent faster overall e.t.c

DWM is being ported back to XP come January by Windowsblinds

Themes and LogonUIs are created all the time and as for wallpapers, it requires NO EFFORT to get them.

So for you, what feature do you think that XP would benefit from that Vista has?

[ShadowFox]

hmm I want that tweak Karl

Is the sidebar included in the windowsblinds? if so XP can/has benefitted from that.

DWM brings transparency right? So Well We're going to get that.

What about Virtual Folders or whatever it's called, XP could benefit from that and whe ever it is that makes cataloging and searching easier... and MONAD could help for those who like the newer command shell.

A good list, i will fix up that guide soon on how to do it mate, it does affect performance but if you have fast PC your just gonna get more reliability i think, though mine seems to be coping well at the min...cos of the tweak honestly

[ShadowFox]

Well then yeah, hook me up...

Good guide! Looking forward to the other one.

The current Avalon and Indigo betas that are available for anyone to download contain much of the underlying code behind the new Vista interface. If you haven't had a chance yet, download it and play around with it.

[RedInferno]

You mean you can find them on M$'s site?

[tntoak]

They're right here.

hey tntoak , i downloaded it to use in 32 bit xp, but haven't tried it
yet, as i have vista 5219 on another drive, and get my eye candy there...
i'll have to try this w/xp before i switch out my mobo.
