Theme Wont Load

[nigel5000]

Managed to find that new sweet Areo theme from the Vista Beta...anyone know how to port it to XP? I tried copying the folder...even renaming it to Luna and overwriting the folder...lmfao...no luck...

anyone got an idea?

Remember that Vista has the new graphics subsystem, code name, Avalon. It's possible that themes developed for Vista will not be compatible with prior versions of Windows. I'm just guessing that that might be the reason you can't use it. I could be wrong.

Vista themes will not work in XP (or any other OS), at least not right now. When MS provides Avalon for WinXP users (which they said they would), perhaps, but until then, use the Longhorn Transformation Pack.

Nice bit of programming, that. I don't think I could tell if the thing is UNinstallable. Do you know if it is?
I don't suppose it gives the virtual folders available in Vista, does it?

It is uninstallable, but doesn't do the virtual folders.

This is simply a packaged theme installer, for the most part, including boot-up and login screens.
