XP to Vista: Sidebar

To add the sidebar to your XP, download and run this software provided by thoosje. It’s more of a clone of vistas sidebar and looks somewhat like this.

It sure looks good, and if you want to try it, then visit Thoosje Vista Sidebar

Now personally, I wasn’t really satisfied with it so I tried the google gadgets. The best thing about it is that it can also be set as the sidebar and applications can be added to it too. Though it may not be as stylish as Thoosje’s sidebar, but it does the job for me and without any bugs.

XP to Vista: START MENU

As I mentioned in my previous post, there are alternatives to everything. So starting off with these alternatives, here is an alternative to xp’s start menu.
All you need to do is download a file from the link given below and follow the given instructions. This thing should work just fine on your pc, but since its still in beta stage, there might be some bugs to go with it. Anyways……

Happy Transforming to Vista Start Menu

XP to Vista Transformation Pack

Hey..!! I know its been a long time since i introduced the ‘XP to Vista’ Category. And i guess its about time that i start posting the real thing. So, lets get started !!

The Vista Transformation pack !

What all is it going to provide you with :

  • Vista style boot screen, logon screen
  • Vista-like theme (with all the icons, transparent task bar, wallpapers, Progress Dialogs and media player skin,etc)
  • Vista’s sound scheme
  • 3rd party softwares( the sidebars, the vista style start menu, window transparency, 3d flip etc)

Going by my personal experience, i wouldn’t recommend this for users with RAM 1GB or less. Because this is one resource hungry pack and trust me, it will eat up your memory, your PCs memory that is :P .

Now the good thing about this is that it allows us to specify what all we want to install. And the bad thing about it is that uninstalling the pack can be real troublesome for users who don’t have much knowledge about this. When i uninstalled it, it took with it the icons of ‘my computer’, ‘my document’ etc !! But i did manage to get them back somehow.

You can find the screen shots of it here

And this is the link from where you can get the download link of the latest transformation pack(at the time of writing this post :) )

Vista Transformation Pack

PS: If you have an anti virus which keeps check of your system files, then DON’T forget to turn it off before you install the pack. Because the pack makes changes in your system files folder only.

PS2: If you are a gamer(like me), then don’t install the 3dflip application because it WILL make your game lag.

PS3: There are alternatives to everything in this world :D . And I will come up with them in the following posts.

Skreemr

Its fast, its accurate, it streams music, its a search engine, its ‘SKREEMR’..!!

If Google is for geeks, then skreemr is for music lovers

Wow, i guess these two lines say it all, but since you guys love reading my posts so much :) ,ill extend this post a little further. skreemr is a superb search engine which locates all the streaming music on the internet and indexes it according to your search. Plus, the quality of the songs is quite awesome( it hasn’t got anything to do with the search engine though) . And the coolest thing about it is that you can share the songs with your friends by either copying the HTML code or adding the code to your facebook account. Its also gives you a single click option to find the lyrics, legal download through amazon, video of the song, ringtones and some other good links. So, if you a music freak, this is the place for you..!!
