Style XP 3.02

**MIG-31** · Mar 15, 2005, 08:31 PM

Style XP Beta can import, select, and manage Themes, Visual Styles, and Wallpaper. Future versions may support sounds, cursors, screensavers, logon UIs, and packages of all the above.

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, and logons.

This is all mentioned on the tgsoft website.looks to be just a few fixes.

Style XP 3.02
-Fixed: BootScreen Progress Bar
-In certain BootScreens you would see vertical lines move across the screen.
-Fixed: Reading ThemeXP zip files
-ThemeXP sometimes double zips icons and cursors causing an error.
-Fixed: Applying ExplorerBar
-Non-Administrators would receive the error "Missing Required DLL".

just thought id point out that by disabling the new XP visual styles i gained noticable FPS in every game i play. i'd always heard people talk about how much performance msstyles kill but never really cored/didnt think it was so bad. however, i'm talking about a good 6-13 FPS in CS:S, 10+ in ut2k4, and similiar results in D3 and other newer games.

i really enjoyed StyleXP and the themes available for it, but to me, the performance hit just wasnt worth the eye candy in windows.

Hmm, I never had a problem, been using StyleXP for years now..it uses very little ram and no CPU. How can it kill performance in games?
