Three Really Cool Vista Visual Tweaks
section: download, for your questions: KezNews forum, 4.9.2007
Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversAndreas Verhoeven has released three really great Windows Vista tweaking applications, designed to improve some of the visual decisions Microsoft made in Vista without much effort on your part.
Download them and load shortcuts to them into your startup folder (only one of them will do it for you) and you should really enjoy the results.
Glass Toasts replaces the balloons that come out of your system tray with something a bit more ostentatious, a glass balloon that is too flashy for most users. Then again, that is probably the point.
3D User Picture takes the picture that appears atop the Start Menu, makes it 3D, and has it rotate. This means that your user picture, plus all the icons in the Start Menu that go up there when you select them, all get this cool effect, and the effect only uses system resources when the Start Menu is open (so there’s little cost to actual use of the computer.
Thumbnail Sizer lets you dramatically increase the size of the taskbar preview thumbnails, increasing seperately the height or the width (so if you want wider, but not necessarily taller, that’s easy). You can even slow down the fade in/out animation so you can enjoy that more.

oh boy...this has been on all the other forums and websites for 4-6 months now...old news
oh myyy god.......that is soooo laast year. honey....you gotta get wit the times.
like...seriously!
the 3d user pic program crashes my explorer.exe when i open the start menu. does anyone
know why?
bennyboy
try formatting your hard drive and starting again fresh
why use it if it crashes your explorer.exe...stop! gezzzz is eye candy that important
here is one best tweak you could ever use for vista.
format and install windowsxp.
best damn tweak that the creator of format c:\ ever created. bless his soul.
huh...windowsxp. try linux instead
hey speedy b..if you like linux so much why are you in this site? trying to convert
people or something?
linux... lol!!! man oh man what a heap of crap. looks like a 5 year old designed the user
interface, the averge pleb can hardly use an ms o.s. and you think that linux can be used
by the average person? grow up.
ms has got world domination due to their o.s. being
easy to copy at the start, people liked the standardised look and feel and that is
something linux sucks big tim with.
you have to give the people a standard interface
to work with, if not, then forget it you are wasting you time.
i like that windowsxp tweek answer best of all.
yeahhhhh, leopard os x almost nearing final candidate.
vista su*cks!!!!!!
i like steve jobs and i really don't like steve ballmer
just buy a expensive microsoft system and get the bugs for free. they solved the problem
into several service packs, just to steal our mony. al-in one version of the brandnew
leopard costs only 129 and then you have the most stable system in the world and no stupid
activation!!!!
hey gordonian, apparently you haven't seen the latest ubuntu distro. it actually has a
better, more intuitive gui than vista. with beryl as the desktop manager, you get
transparency and rotating desktop cubes.
m$ achieved their market share through
marketing and dodgy business practices. there were better oss around when windoze came
out.
perhaps you should keep your yap shut when you obviously don't have a
clue? or are you just another brainless troll?
ok if linux is so good y is it free from any download site meaning is a piece of horse
sh*t grow up retards this is a microsoft os forums so linux and mac users get the fu**k
on go to vista or is your pc tooooooo slllllllllllooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
to run vista
do not download this crap!
what is this tweak some kind of joke..... man i'm sick about using vista now make this
tweak! for what man.....
