== Description ==
== Changes from Windows XP SP3 ==
=== Changes in pre-desktop procedures ===
* New setup background. The setup billboard text has been changed
* New login graphics (if you install the modified LogonUI)
 
=== Extra software commentary ===
* You are expected to install the extra programs to paths which are not made entirely clear. Only in the registry files are you given exactly what paths to use.
* TrueTransparency comes with a copy of a modified copyversion of exclude.dat, with extra entries that are not present in the final file.
* The IconPackager/Explorer crack was made by Orthodox, and the music is a tracker song called "Industrial motherf.".
* The included test song in J.River Media Center is called "Fares Alhamy" or "فارس احلامى" in Arabic.
 
==== themes.rar commentary ====
===== Naming oddities =====
* The "PlaceMonk" theme was originally contained in a folder named "new gold theme art fares".
* The "Aurorarion Darkside XP", "FatalE", "ProBLU", "Nexus", "OpusOS", "Peony", "Sentinel", "v1p3", "Vienna-Xp", "War3ORC", "WHMxII", "Wood", and "XoddX" themes are just visual styles, without a .theme file attached. Unlike the others, the "XoddX" theme has its visual style in a subfolder.
* The "Zune" theme was originally contained in a folder named "zuneeee".
* The "betti", "BLACKICE", "GloWorm", "Golden", "LeopardX", "PlaceMonk", "DzartPAL", "Safari", "Warcraft", "XTS" and "Grey" themes are all packaged in their own folder, which contain their .theme file and a subfolder with the msstyles along with everything else.
* The "fares", "orb", "rainy" and "venom" visual styles are orphans. They do not possess any other external assets.
* Several themes have wrong casing/alternate names/been misspelled/mislabeled (this is for the packaged themes):
** betti = Betti
** black ice = BLACKICE
** Fatale = FATALE
** flash blue = ProBlue = ProBLU
** new gold theme art fares = PlaceMonk
** pal = PAL = DzartPAL
** safari = Safari
** Sentinel X = Sentinel
** xdox = XoddX
** zuneeee = Zune = Grey
 
===== Commentary on the themes themselves =====
* The "rainy" and "venom" msstyles are broken. Trying to apply them will both result in a "Theme exceeds allowed size" error. To apply them successfully, reselect their color scheme and click "Apply". The themes are both based on the Luna theme's Silver color scheme, therefore they load assets from there.
* The "BLACKICE" and "PlaceMonk" themes' sound paths point to sounds from a foreign version of Windows.
* The "GlowThin" theme is just the "GloWorm" theme, but using its "GloThin" color scheme.
* The "LeopardX" theme has a wallpaper, but its .theme file does not use it.
