Description
This is a shell modification pack that replaces XPish resources with their counterparts from Windows 2000 (with bits taken from Windows ME, screenshots of Whistler betas, and some artistic license tossed in where appropriate). Obviously, the appeal of something like this is somewhat limited, but I expect there's a few people other than me who might want to use the older style, either out of nostalgia, because they find it to be cleaner and more usuable, or simply out of a preference for the pixel-art style. There are a lot of advantages to using the newer operating system, especially after the release of Service Pack 2; if you don't feel the iconset is one of them, now it doesn't have to be It also includes a reloader to re-Inexperience your system files if necessary, and an uninstaller to restore them to their original state. It is designed to work on all language versions and editions of Windows XP and Server 2003. 64-bit versions of Windows are NOT supported.
I made this pretty much for my own personal use, but I know there's a (very) few others who are interested in it, so I decided to make a release of it. If you like it, great, otherwise, you are irrelevant. If you want something specific de-XPified, or if you find any bugs, tell me about them, and I'll try to get them sorted in the next release.
Last Updated (2007/03/17): Update for SP3, import some bugfixes from Tango Patcher 2600 8.06. Those security center shields look like crap...
Honestly, I'm kinda curious to know how many people still use this - as SP3 is likely to be the last new comctl32.dll for XP/2003, unless there's some kind of feature request, this is quite likely the last update this'll ever get.
