Tutorial: Restyling the XP Control Panel to Vista Style

Have you restyled your whole windows to make it look clean and polished ? Did you work countless hours trying to find skins and icons, to make everything just right ? And there is only a few things left and you just cant style them.. like the control panel and ill show you how..



1. The Icons

First off all you need a complete Iconset for Iconpackager and off course IconPackager itself. The set i created and used is Vista XP Deluxe Icons. Be aware IconPackager styles your Control Panel Icons only if you have the "licensed" Version and the section within IP checked. Be sure to check it under "Packages > Include" to the right of the application.





2. The Copy Process

As you will see IconPackager can only skin a default set of Control Panel Icons. So what do we do with the unskinned ones that cant be changed ? This is the solution: Simply drag them to the Control Panel Item "Administrative Tools", which is just a Folder and you will be able to easily access them in near future as a link to the original file.





Below you can see the unskinned items as links in "Administrative Tools", you could even change there icons too, because they were turned to links.





3. The Cleanup

What now ? Hiding the unskinned icons which you wont use very often anyway from the Panel. We can do that by using "Tweak UI" from Microsoft Powertoys pack. Download it here.

Then Launch Tweak UI and goto "Control Panel" Section to hide the elements you copied to "Administrative Tools" first. You can off course toggle them to visible again if you need to!




4. Finished

And your Control Panel could look similiar to this:


Vista XP Deluxe Icons Released!

Preview.png This set contains over 180 carefully assembled Icons from diverse Vista versions and packs.I thank all the people who have extracted icons from these releases and i hope everyone can enjoy this exclusive pack.


I dare to say that this is the best Vista Icon Pack because:

  • I have created it with a complete and balanced style in mind
  • I have covered nearly ALL filetypes including special ones like (.ace .bin. cue...)

Phenom X4

phenom.jpgWhat is the phenom doing ? Ive read some reviews about AMDs new Quad Core processor and they don't seem very promising to me. Im also an enduser who wants a fast and stable processor, which i can also overclock and as it seems AMD has quite alot of problems with the phenom. There is a widespread bug called "TLB" bug, which seems to crash the processor at higher speeds and other rumors.. Also the Power Usage is not as good as Intels current offerings.. what do you think ?
