Thanks for covering XP Delta. I’ve pretty much been done with the project for a few months now, but I am glad it’s been getting all this attention. There’s actually a whole unofficial Windows 10 Delta over in China, if anyone’s interested. It’s kinda weird having your “bootleg” get bootlegged itself.

@cameroncole06 Год назад

Are you the official developer?

Thanks! I tested this version of Windows XP, with the Delta edition, on both VirtualBox and VMware, and it worked very well! Especially that I heard a different startup sound for XP, as well as in Delta edition of Windows Vista and 7, it makes me feel like I was reviving 2000s technology.

@_prinzvalium_ Год назад

Not only the boot screen is different. The login screen also looks like beta. There are semi-transparent clouds in the background. In the RTM version, this is only a bright, radial gradient.

@HeadsetGuy Год назад

Aw, it comes with the Utopia sounds? That's freaking cool! I loved Utopia; it was the default sound scheme on my childhood HP Pavilion 6545C. As for why they sound similar to Microsoft Bob, well, that's because Microsoft Bob's development codename was "Utopia".

@Renblade Год назад

Great video as always and awesome to see this modified version of Windows. Also please never change the outro music for your videos - it always makes me feel good inside.

@barfooguy Год назад

ah yes, the custom versions of windows, are pretty good! modifications that make it unique and faster, love em!

@arnox4554 Год назад

The biggest problem with them by far though is that you just never know if the author tried to sneak in spyware or malware. With a bit of programming competence, it would be so easy to do.

The Watercolor window style from Whistler was my favorite too. I was sad to see them scrap it in XP.

@bluephreakr Год назад

Imagine how cool it would be for somebody to rip the XP Watercolor theme elements and apply them to KDE 5? That would be awesome!

@BafroomHumor Год назад

For real that'd be so fuckin cool. This retroactively made me upset because of how much better it looks than the theme they went with for XP. A very pleasant theme

@m_rocka Год назад

That's really dumb. Plasma has too many elements that aren't compatible with classic GUI conventions, try Trinity instead.

@The_Boctor Год назад

The Trinity desktop environment (KDE 3 fork) has a Watercolor lookalike style available. Was really pleased to see it, and people looking to run a modern OS on an older computer may enjoy it. Q4OS includes it, last I checked.

@keit99 Год назад

Ah yes the kde 3 fork based on a qt3 fork. Nothing against trinity (on the contrary I like trinity) but calling it "modern" is a bit of a stretch. Edit: I misread your comment, trinity works on modern OSes of course. But yeah don't use its html engine (aka its standard browser [konqueror])

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the logon backround is slightly different, than in RTM versions. RTMs has this bright circle in a upper left corner, but here are the clouds ;)

@petergrudge189 Год назад

This was when Windows was fun, now sadly it's not unless I really put the work into modifying it. I have most of those wallpapers and visual styles. I miss making these custom versions too, I might go back to doing them again. 🙂

@tboneanimatetwoaccount2094 Год назад

The creators of this also did Delta versions of Windows Vista, 7, and 8.1, which serve the same purpose as this one. Along with XP Delta, all of them are absolutely fantastic mods of Windows and I couldn't recommend them enough if you're into beta stuff.

@Jdbye Год назад

But why base it on the VLK version of XP? That makes it pretty much impossible to get a legitimate key that will work with this. I happen to have legitimate XP keys sitting around that I have no use for, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. But of course none of them are VLK because only enterprises got those.

@StrayGuitarist Год назад

Because sites like G2A are absolutely rife with volume-license keys. It's easier for someone who doesn't have a key already to go on one of those grey market sites and buy a VLK than it is for someone to try to get their hands on a regular key.

@cyngaethlestan8859 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video it was interesting to see. I remember the 'watercolour' them but not the name from a window blinds theme but I think that included roll up and pin window controls. It's one I used before I ditched WBs for theme patcher. I would have liked the start up / shut down sounds to have remained as they are much better. I genuinely dislike those on XP as they aren't nice and are WAY too loud. XP still is and will always be my main OS for everything except the Internet (Q4os Trinity)
