Vista Explorer on XP: DesktopX has the Power

Feel Vista :)

Published on July 30, 2005 By Black Xero In WinCustomize News

"Transparent Tilebars" is a unique feature of Microsoft's upcoming operating system named Windows Vista. But now, you can get same styled Explorer and Internet Explorer on Windows XP by using the standalone widgets created by tR0jAn.

DesktopX is the revolutionary program that gives power users and novice users alike the ability to design their own custom Windows desktops.

It's nice eye candy, but just not too practical.
2 things that make it unusable for every day consistant use.
1. You cant resize the windows.
2. Each window does not retain the settings of the parent window. ie.. I like to view my folders in list or detail view. That doesn't carry over to the next folder I open.

Can't see my Mouse Pointer when it's in the window.

Are you using CursorXP? If so, that's your problem, not Vista Explorer. Turn it off and you'll get your mouse pointer back.

If not, never mind.

I use CursorXP and can see the mouse just fine in Vista Explorer. I just don't get the file info down the bottom like it appears in the screenshot.

CursorXP z-order problems are inconsistent, so it could still be a CursorXP problem.
