The sidebar is useless, nothing like the real longhorn sidebar...
This was mostly just a themepack install for me..

Does this Pack add to any system instability or uneccessary system resources hogging?

Haven't seen any. Like I said in my original post....I initially installed this on my system at work....didn't see any slowdown at all. That system is a P4 2.4ghz with 512 RAM. No problems on it at all.

I installed it on my home system a bit ago and I'm seeing no ill effects on it as well. Of course it is an damn powerful system. 148, 2 GB RAM, etc, etc, etc....., so I wouldn't expect to see any slowdown on it.

Yeah i tried it at work, since then if it messed anything up, i wouldn't care :evil:.

It seemed really kewl, though yeah, the sidebar seems pointless unless it can be customized.

I will install it here at home when i get time, as i liked some of the themes alot :)

It's very nice, but yeesh, so many options. I don't know where to start when dealing with Aero themes, let alone configuring it as M4-M6, WinHEC, etc.

Oops....that's what I meant to say...I only uninstalled the sidebar......the rest of the package is great.


Silly Question but how do you enable the themes. I couldn't find any. I was only able to mess around with the sidebar etc. Can't seem to see the wood for the tree's :p

I don't think you're the only one who can't find them.

I just finished installing it on my A64, & it didn't work the first time.
I uninstalled; then reinstalled, & it seems to be working fine now.

Damn nice themes included... :D
