I don't know what the car is but it looks awesome:

I took the photo myself so there is really only one place where you can get it. You can get it here and many more photos.
 
Nope its Windows XP. Sorry Man.

Although anyone that may still want to know I'm running:
Rainmeter
-- with Enigma Skin

CD Art Display
-- with Skin supplied in Enigma Skin Files

Rocketdock
-- with Reflections Icons

NOOTO Visual Style

I'm running XP as well :P

So does this work with XP SP2 or does it only come for that newer XP installment (never knew the name of the more flashy XP OS). Also, is it RAM friendly? I'd love to get such a setup, but I play games very often so I don't like huge drops in framerates and start-up times like Stardock and Objectdock always did to my computer :)

Well to get the Visual theme going you need to patch it with UXTheme Patcher (I think it's called that). It is extremely resource friendly though, Rainmeter and Rocketdock only up 6k Mem Usage each. I find Rockdock can go up to about 12k if you crank up the effects but either way it's alot friendler than Objectdock.

I am running XP SP3, although I think they did make a UXTheme Patcher for SP2. So you may still be in luck!

Well, I hope that one works. I patched the theme dssl file with the UXTheme Patcher, but when I doulbe click the msstyle file, nothing happens :( Won't give up yet though!
 

My god, that photo is simply stunning. Easily one of the best photographs I've ever seen, I'd love to know how he got that zoom blur effect so perfect without losing the detail on the car. I know he specialises in zoom shots but that is something else! :drool:

Any chance of a link to the full size one you used please?
 
I'd love a widesceen of that Ferrari, 'tis lovely! Obviously it won't replace the beautiful Manthey Porsche just yet, but I'll save it for future use.

@Bram. Are you saving the msstyles into C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes ?
 
Yes. I then go to desktop, right click --> properties --> style, and then I look for the NOOTO or whatever it is called. But none of the styles I copied in the folder show up :confused:

Just double click on the style and wait for that window to show up. For some reason 3rd party styles don't add to the menu but double clicking on them works.

Thanks to SweetShopUnion for helping me out. :) Even if it isn't exactly like his, I like it a lot at the moment.
