wow, this is most probably the first time i'm convinced to use this pack...

but seriously, is it really possible to get it like the screenshots? I mean, they have glass borders which only windowblinds can achive...

is the taskbar really going to be transparent, excluding the orb?

is there really gonna be a media center and a new taskmanager?

and I don't really like the boot screen

the only thing i see that i'm confident in is thoosje's sidebar, lol..


could someone give this pack a try and post thier experience? It sounds really promising...and please tell us if it screws up your system...

Well i really like the desktop but the boot screen is like @!$#$%!@

[PenaltyKillah]

Wow... the transparency is too good to be true. Is that a WB? I bet I can do a better bootscreen, however.

[WhistAler]

Finally the final version! Thanks for the release.

[Ultimate John]

Everything is looking great except the boot screen.

[n3s]

Is it safe? I'm running XP SP2 spanish

[Automatum]

At least the final version!

@ n3s

A friend of mine tested the VTP 5.5 in his computer running XP SP2 Spanish and it didn't caused any problems.

Don't forget to make a system restore point before installing it or make a disk image of your C: drive if possible.
