Description

Well some people seem to experience some difficulties when installing the theme with the install.exe, I decided to release a manual install version. This should work ;)

This is my complete Theme Package "VentZer0" it represents my customization of Windows XP Pro. Its how i would like it too be by default. Its a simple sleak design for Visual Style, Shellstyle, Bootscreen, LogonUI, Winamp, Shutdown Dialog...with some eyecandy stuff, like Glass2k and YzShadow to give a nicer look.
So I hope you like it!

Let me know how you like it or maybe not and or report bugs [link]

» 2. Installation «
# Before using the VentZer0 Theme you should have installed StyleXP or the patched uxtheme.dll
# How to use and patch it is explained here: [link]


  • 2.01 > 2.05 VentZer0.zip
    Unzip to your Windowsfolder or manually place the files into these folders:

    %systemroot% is the location of the windows folder

    %systemroot%/Cursors/VentZer0
    [cursor path]

    %systemroot%/Media/VentZer0
    [sounds path]

    %systemroot%/Resources/Boot/VentZer0/ntoskrnl.exe
    [bootscreen path]

    %systemroot%/Resources/LogonUI/VentZer0/logonUI.exe
    [logonUI path]

    %systemroot%/Resources/Themes/VentZer0/VentZer0.mystyles
    [visual style/theme path]

    Afterwards apply cursors.reg and sounds.reg to your registry inorder to use the cursor and sound scheme!


  • 2.06 Windows XP Shutdown and Shell Dialogs
    This is changes the Log Off and Shutdown Dialog so fit with the rest of the Theme. Also all System Dialogs will be in the Dungeon Font instead the default MS Font. Anyways i dont recommend you to use this files when your Windows Version differs from mine!
    Which is: 2600.xpsp_sp3_qfe.090121-1326 (Service Pack 3) !
    !!!!!! IN ANY CASE BACKUP YOUR SHELL32.DLL and MSGINA.DLL !!!!!!


  • 2.07 Logonui & Boot Screen Randomizer
    LogonUIBootscreenRandomizer should be installed as said in the readme file in the 'logonuibootscreenrandomizer.zip'! OR as explained on this website: http://userxp.belchfire.net/indexlbr.htm#How_it_works BUT you dont need to create the two folders, use these two instead !

    %systemroot%/Resources/Boot/ for bootscreen folders

    %systemroot%/Resources/LogonUI/ for logonui folders


  • 2.08 YzShadow 1.9
    Unzip whereever you want to and run the exe! IF you want windows to start it everytime windows starts simple edit the "yzshadow.reg" file with any texteditor (Notepad) enter the path where the 'yzshadow.exe' is and thats it for example...
    before:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "Y's Shadow"="enter-path-here"

    after:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "Y's Shadow"="C:\Toolz\yzsdw109\yzshadow.exe"

    OR put a shortcut of the 'yzshadow.exe' in the windows startup folder!


  • 2.09 Glass2k 0.9.2
    Simply run the EXE configure as you like that's it!


  • 2.10 Winamp Classic Skin
    Put the VentZer0.wsz file into the '\winamp\skins\' folder or just double click it and open it with winamp then it should be installed.


  • 2.11 Styler 1.41
    Unzip where you want it run 'Styler.exe' and choose the VentZer0 toolbar goto info and select StylerTB mode and exit program.


  • 2.12 Replacer
    Simple unzip ... pretty much self explanatory programm


  • 2.13 Fonts
    Unzip fonts.zip into your windowsfolder/FONTS/
