It looks quite good. Any info on the uninstaller?

you can restore your icons back to their original state at any time and remove the program from your system.

[pcHuntqwerty]

Wow, looks cool. Installing now!

[doomangel]

thanx! please provide some feedback if something goes wrong.

Looks great from here! I'll have to hear from others however since all desktop shortcuts have been moved or removed to clear the desktop here entirely. The blog and the download links have been given a reference however.

I remember I used your Vista KDE patcher once. This one looks cool too from the screenshots.

a lot of improvements and changes made since the last version of KDE Vista Patcher.
BTW, new version of KDE Vista Patcher will be out soon

I haven't got bored with Win 7 icons yet. Might try it later ...

well, you should because they are the same with Vista

[Night Hawk]

That's not surprising! The only thing that has seen any real change to MS icons in a long time was the Aero themes.

With more then one 7 installation here having the 32bit RC running on a virtual machine I wonder how things will go there when applying the KDE patcher tool you have there? I'll have to post a screen or two of how that comes out.

Now Announcing: Accepting requests!

If you like to change a specific resource that hasn't changed yet, or a third party application then make your request here!
A request must have screenshot of the old resource that want's to be changed so i can find the specific file. If you know in what file it is it would be very helpfull if you provided the resource filename as well.
Go on, lets make some requests!

I'll be giving your latest effort a look over on one of the virtual installations with the 64bit RC running.

sorry pal, no 64bit support for now but it is on its way

[Night Hawk]

Ouch! I run the 64bit RC here except for seeing the 32bit on a virtual hard drive run on the latest Virtual PC RC now seen.



I'll be looking forward to the 64bit version when you have that ready. For now I can it a go on the 32bit installation seen there where the transformation was immediate!





Once you hit the restart button following the quick install there this is when you see that put into effect right away onscreen.



Once back at the desktop open up any explorer window or look in the Control Panel to see the results.



Ok so for the time being when referring people to this they will know this works out well on the 32bit 7 for the time being. Now to try a few other things!

[doomangel]

nice screenshots, better than mine
glad you liked it

[Night Hawk]

If you liked those you'll even like the next one I have here even more!



It went on fast and saw immediate changes with a simple restart. All that's needed now is the 64bit version since many now run the 64bit 7!

[Secured Tim]

Beautiful screens Night Hawk.

[Night Hawk]

The snipping tool in 7 does a great job doesn't it?!

Between that and the Faststone screen capture program(freeware too!) you can capture quite a bit of detail when wanting a good look at something.
