Cechą charakterystyczną Windowsa Visty jest boczny pasek. Można na nim umieścić szereg gadżetów dostarczających informacje. Począwszy od kalendarzy przez czytniki rss na systemowych zegarach kończąc. Powstało mnóstwo aplikacji imitujących paski dla systemu Windows XP. Żaden z nich nie obsługiwał jednak prawdziwych gadżetów z Visty. W sieci znalazłem pasek, który nie dość że wygląda niemalże identycznie jak ten z Visty, to jeszcze obsługuje gadżety Visty. Te można pobierać z Windows Galerii. Jest ich tam mnóstwo. Program nazywa się Windows Sidebar Real One. Jest darmowy.

License
THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE COMMONS PUBLIC
LICENSE ( " CCPL " OR " LICENSE " ). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE
LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS
PROHIBITED.
BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY
THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN
CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
1. Definitions
a. " Collective Work " means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology or encyclopedia, in which
the Work in its entirety in unmodified form, along with a number of other contributions,
constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are assembled into a collective
whole. A work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as
defined below) for the purposes of this License.
b. " Derivative Work " means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work and other pre-existing
works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion
picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form
in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a
Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For the
avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or sound recording, the
synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image ( " synching " ) will be considered
a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License.
c. " Licensor " means the individual or entity that offers the Work under the terms of this License.
d. " Original Author " means the individual or entity who created the Work.
e. " Work " means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the terms of this License.
f.
" You " means an individual or entity exercising rights under this License who has not previously
violated the terms of this License with respect to the Work, or who has received express
permission from the Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous violation.
2. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit, or restrict any rights arising from
fair use, first sale or other limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright
law or other applicable laws.
3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor hereby grants You a
worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license
to exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
a. to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collective Works, and to
reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collective Works;
b. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly, and perform publicly
by means of a digital audio transmission the Work including as incorporated in Collective Works;
Copyright© 2007
The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter
devised. The above rights include the right to make such modifications as are technically
necessary to exercise the rights in other media and formats, but otherwise you have no rights to
make Derivative Works. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby reserved,
including but not limited to the rights set forth in Sections 4(d) and 4(e).
4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made subject to and limited by the
following restrictions:
a. You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work only
under the terms of this License, and You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
Identifier for, this License with every copy or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, publicly
display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on
the Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients' exercise of the rights
granted hereunder. You may not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer
to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display,
publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that
control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this License
Agreement. The above applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not
require the Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this
License. If You create a Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
practicable, remove from the Collective Work any credit as required by clause 4(c), as requested.
b. You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is
primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary
compensation. The exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital filesharing or otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial
advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary
compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works.
c. If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work, You
must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or
means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if
supplied, and/or (ii) if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party or parties
(e.g. a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for attribution in Licensor's copyright notice,
terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; the title of the
Work if supplied; and to the extent reasonably practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier, if
any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the
copyright notice or licensing information for the Work. Such credit may be implemented in any
reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Collective Work, at a minimum such
credit will appear where any other comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner at
least as prominent as such other comparable authorship credit.
d. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition:
i.
Performance Royalties Under Blanket Licenses. Licensor reserves the exclusive right to
collect, whether individually or via a performance rights society (e.g. ASCAP, BMI, SESAC),
royalties for the public performance or public digital performance (e.g. webcast) of the Work
if that performance is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or
private monetary compensation.
Copyright© 2007
ii. Mechanical Rights and Statutory Royalties. Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect,
whether individually or via a music rights agency or designated agent (e.g. Harry Fox Agency),
royalties for any phonorecord You create from the Work ( " cover version " ) and distribute,
subject to the compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 115 of the US Copyright Act (or
the equivalent in other jurisdictions), if Your distribution of such cover version is primarily
intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation.
e. Webcasting Rights and Statutory Royalties. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a
sound recording, Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect, whether individually or via a
performance-rights society (e.g. SoundExchange), royalties for the public digital performance
(e.g. webcast) of the Work, subject to the compulsory license created by 17 USC Section 114 of
the US Copyright Act (or the equivalent in other jurisdictions), if Your public digital performance
is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary
compensation.
5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS
AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE,
MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF
LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO
SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL
LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF
LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
7. Termination
a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by
You of the terms of this License. Individuals or entities who have received Collective Works from
You under this License, however, will not have their licenses terminated provided such
individuals or entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8
will survive any termination of this License.
b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is perpetual (for the
duration of the applicable copyright in the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves
the right to release the Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any
time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any
other license that has been, or is required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and
this License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as stated above.
8. Miscellaneous
a. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work or a Collective Work, the Licensor
offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
granted to You under this License.
Copyright© 2007
b. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further
action by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent
necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
c. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach consented to unless
such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver
or consent.
d. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Work
licensed here. There are no understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the
Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may
appear in any communication from You. This License may not be modified without the mutual
written agreement of the Licensor and You.

Un-installation
1.
2.
Navigate to the Add/Remove programs applet, click Alky for Applications, and click the
Change/Remove button. Follow any and all on-screen prompts.
Log out/in or restart your computer.
WARNING
The environmental changes will remain in memory until the user logs out or the machine is
rebooted.
Usage
The use of Alky for Applications is still undergoing major research by the team. User feedback in
this area is appreciated.
NOTE
Alky for Applications does not have any user interfaces. It extends the options available to users in the
context menu via the use of a Windows Explorer shell extension. There are three different sets of options
the extension may display upon file right-click, based upon file type:
Executables
Patch and Run Vista Executable…
Run Vista Executable
Screen Savers
Patch Vista screensaver…
Dynamic Link Libraries
Patch Vista library…
Upon clicking one of the patching-based actions, the shell extension will modify the right-clicked file to
be compatible with the host operating system. It, however, does not alter any executable code in the file
(only headers, etc.)!
Upon clicking the run action (for executables), the patching subsystem of the shell extension is bypassed
1
and immediately executed. This is useful for files previously patched and is script-friendly .
WARNING
1
Most Vista applications require additional resources from their MUI files (e.g. located in enUS). These resources must be present at patch time to be correctly merged into the target
executable.
Examples can be provided on-demand.
Copyright© 2007
Licensing
Alky for Applications implements the SLGetWindowsInformationDWORD function to ensure users do
2
not execute Windows Vista applications they are not specifically licensed to use . For this function to work,
policies must be initialized based on SKU. It determines the SKU to mimic by analyzing and validating the
product key entered using bundled PidGenX components. After analyzing, the product key is obfuscated
and stored in a flat file labeled data.bin. Alky for Applications maintains your privacy by not transmitting
license information in any way, shape, or form.
Windows Inkball is an example of an application that checks for the TabletPCInkBallEnableGame licensing policy via this function. Windows Inkball will not work without a valid
license and acceptable SKU.
NOTE
Technical Considerations/Notes
Alky for Applications does not currently support the automatic detection and registration of OLE3
based objects or any library dependencies, such as XInput9_1_0.dll for Solitaire .
In rare configurations, an ATL ordinal error will appear. We are currently researching this issue.
Alky for Applications uses a generic Windows Side-by-Side (WinSXS) assembly manifest for postpatching operations. In rare cases, it may be necessary to edit the manifest.xml file to match the
configuration of your machine. The manifest included contains entries for:
2
3
Microsoft.VC80.CRT (8.0.50727.42)
Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls (6.0.2600.2180)
Microsoft.Windows.GdiPlus (1.0.0.0)
Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT (8.0.50727.42)
Alky for Applications does not guarantee license violations cannot occur.
Alky for Applications does not currently support Solitaire.

Application Note: Windows Sidebar
Windows Sidebar requires additional work to function properly. For Windows Sidebar to locate gadgets
properly, it must be installed into \Program Files\Windows Sidebar. If you are on a 64-bit platform, use
\Program Files (x86)\Windows Sidebar and replace \System32 references below with \SysWow64.
1.
Patch the following Windows Sidebar files using the Alky for Applications shell extension (rightclick context menu):
NOTE
2.
sbdrop.dll
wlsrvc.dll
sidebar.exe
sbdrop.dll.mui and sidebar.exe.mui must exist in a folder matching your locale (e.g. en-US, deDE) for resources to be correctly merged.
Register the type libraries by issuing the following command in a command prompt (or Start & gt; Run)
“C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Sidebar.exe” /RegServer
3.
Copy %SystemRoot%\System32\regsvr32.exe into the folder containing sbdrop.dll and
wlsrvc.dll.
4.
Copy manifest.xml from your root Alky for Applications directory into the directory containing
sbdrop.dll and wlsrvc.dll. Rename the file to regsvr32.exe.manifest.
5.
Execute the following commands, from a command prompt:
6.
cd “%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\”
.\regsvr32.exe sbdrop.dll
.\regsvr32.exe wlsrvc.dll
It is strongly recommended you install the Segoe UI font on your system. You can retrieve these
files (segoeui*.tif) from your Windows Vista™ installation media image (WIM) or partition.
NOTE
Do not omit the .\ in the commands. If you have problems executing this step, ensure the Alky
for Applications installation directory was inserted into the PATH environmental variable and
that the machine was logged out/in (or rebooted) as per installation step 2.

Application Note: Windows Sidebar Styler 2.0
More information about Stanimir Stoyanov’s Windows Sidebar Styler can be found at
http://www.stoyanoff.info/blog/code/styler/. Leveraging new functionalities provided in Alky for
Applications, Windows Sidebar Styler 2.0 is supported in-box and requires no additional work.
NOTE
Windows Sidebar Styler requires the Microsoft.NET Framework 3.0
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70848). Be sure to read any and all documentation
provided by the third party.
Application Note: Windows Ultimate Extra: Texas Hold’Em
Texas Hold’Em requires a Windows Vista™ Ultimate license as well as XInput9_1_0.dll in its working
directory (or at a location within the system path). Make sure the library is patched before attempting to
launch Texas Hold’Em!
