*Windows Vista Wallpapers* by tolkein on 08-14-2005 at 07:00 AM

Found a cool Vista wallpaper website - VistaWallpaper.com

You can grab the official MS one or they've a lot of "nicer" looking variations ;)

Already got them ;)

I have seen them ....most are from the old xp -> longhorn conversion pack themes ;)

Some are fake while there are a few others which i already have (in a few days on the vista beta1 starting)

I used evil techniques (6) :refuck:

Dude .... the guy has used the html method to show thumbs meaning that the pic that loads is actually the whole pic then it is shortened by your browser ;)
So rt click the pic ... (ignore the error) click copy image link (again ignore the error Now click ok twice and then paste the link and you can see it :D
But copy link is only possible in FF so here is the direct link to the folder of pics :P
I copied the digisoft versions as i didnt have those :)

Google it :P

Its a patch that replaces original files of win xp .... a bit risky cause i did it thrice and once it corrupted my windows so i had to format my hd as i couldnt boot :dodgy:
It only gives you extra themes and all ... no need of style xp or win blinds :P
Best of luck .... it also gives you logon's and bootscreens ;)

Welcome ... and the napster ... read the features in that page i showed and see the pics and all .... the patch is good but i'd rather get the themes cause they are easily available :cheesy:

If you dont wanna get style xp or something they google for uxtheme.dll patch .... it was a bit buggy for me (like after reboot .... it wouldnt work :S) so i got the neowin patcher ... it works like a charm ;)

Read about and get UXTheme Multi-Patcher (Neowin Edition) 4.0 From Neowin.Net by clicking here

RE: *Windows Vista Wallpapers* by ShawnZ on 08-14-2005 at 05:59 PM

Attached :p

(Uh, if im not allowed to do this, feel free to remove @ Mods)

Edit: pfft, it rejected the attachment :(

Edit: okay there it worked

These are the ONLY new wallpapers in vista beta1. These are uploaded straight from my install. That website isnt for vista wallpapers either, its just a popularity point :undecided:

Questinon : How do you become a beta tester? For anything, like MsgPlus, Windows Etc. I don't exactly know my facination for it, but just want to be a tester.
Thnx

RE: *Windows Vista Wallpapers* by i8ss on 10-18-2005 at 06:35 AM

Thanks everyone for the walls, links, and info ..

I thought I'd share with you another decent site that I use on a regular basis for walls ...

http://www.vistawallpaperarchive.com

Thanks again for everything!

RE: *Windows Vista Wallpapers* by ShawnZ on 10-18-2005 at 11:18 AM

None of those are offical (at the link in the first post...) Its just exploiting the publicity of Vista.
