Windows 7 Transformation Pack
Well, it's finally here. Although Windows 7 RTM is coming near. However, I don't think waiting for Windows 7 RTM tobe releasedfirst wouldn't be wise enough because there may be tons of changes and need another long delay again. This version is pretty much simple forbug fixesand some in-house updates like ViGlance. But why 2.0 instead of 1.0.1 or 1.1? Because there're some special updates in this release and it's just only beginning for me (though some people may aware of this and get bored already).
Features
Vista compatibilities- Starting from version 2.0, SevenTransformationPackwill supportWindows Vistaoperating systemand allow user to get Windows 7 experiences inWindows Vista. It will support XP/2003 andWindows Vistain same installation package for easy update and avoid conflicts. You may think file size is too large forWindows Vistauser alone but please bear with it.
Bug fixes- some bugs found in previous releases are fixed. This includes clean uninstallation that will remove all installed features and tweaks for real this time. I tested it in Windows XP/2003/Vista and found everything removed properly. Bugs with incorrect icons are fixed also but I intentionly changed closed folder to ones specified in imageres.dll as proper closed folder regardless of Windows Vista/7 keep using opened for both. Vista Rainbar will not longer keep nagging full screenapplicationand have memory leak issue resolved for long-time use.
ViGlance improvements- This is our MVP in this release. You will get the advanced version of ViGlance. It has Aero Peek feature showing live thumbnail on taskbar. You can pinapplicationon taskbar as Windows 7. Options section is now available for ViGlance configuration and yeah.....it has superb graphics updated by Windows X that resembles Windows 7 RTM. The stability is improves a lot too and compatible with vertical taskbar and full screen apps.
