Style XP 2.11 Released!

What is Style XP?

Style XP is not a skinning engine. It uses Microsoft's built-in visual style engine, but enhances it by providing many useful tools. Style XP can import, select, rotate, and manage themes, visual styles, wallpapers, logons, bootscreens, icons, and explorer bar. Future versions may support sounds, cursors, screensavers, and packages of all the above. How does it work? Instead of lines and gradients, the XP user interface natively supports the use of skinned bitmap controls (a visual style). This is Microsoft's own innovation. Style XP includes its own visual styles.

Changes:

IconTranslate now bundled with StyleXP
Now supports encrypted icon files.

It's out for a week now,and it doesn't run on sp2 2162,( may be they have changed it at last ).
I'm sick of Style XP, every time when there is a new sp2 build out it won't work.

Ugh...

You blame TGTSoft for not supporting the latest SP2 build? Since when was a a Release Canadiate? I'm sure when SP2 hits final, Style XP will support it as well.

Does anyone know how to remove the StyleXP icon from the system tray (the lower right hand side near the clock)?

In the options select either "Run Service Only" or "Use No Resources". You can then just close it.
