ok just a heads up for the folowing few weeks; 1st im looking to sorta finalize XPtsp to 1.1final.of course thers always work to be done but i think that seing the approach of win 7 it is only logical for us to start an XPtsp se7en theme. 2nd,Mr.Fixit is working on a blue theme for XPtsp.So some time this week im thinking its gonna be ready.as stated earlier im thinking of finalizing normal(sorta green theme/vista theme)XPtsp by to night. also;i allready have a few resources directly from win7 courtesy of biodigitzman who kindly uploaded them.

well it depends, are you using xptsp normaly or r u passign it thru something else?cause its supposed to work perfectly.im using ricks mce addon and when patching it with xptsp after results are good. umm i cant say the resources i have right now are reflecting the problems you mention. avis havint ben changed for a while the timedate.cpl is all in usa,i cant see any missing sysdm.cpl & themeui.dll bitmaps at all. you have to open a .res file that contains avi object and replace the matching avis with a resource editing program like resource hacker included in the programms folder.

ucan use imageshak and podt a link after or u can use the uplaod feature int his forum if ure file is smaller than 150k ,make a new post and find the green upload button.

lol; i said wrote 1 file's name(but i saw he asked in 2 forums and i way like ok ill just reply at one place)but here is the answer: " winbrand.dll "

Nice!

hehaha.n e ways guys, yeah alot of versions can and should be derived!ill get you guys some links later.

id love to see a dark glassy theme, sorta like one of the ones we had on halloween.i find it easier on the eyes.

i replied over at ryan's.

rick gave me a link to almost a complete set of win 7 resources. so just maybe a 2nd breed of XPtsp will arise; se7en.

im just happy we got it cleaned up b4 wincert or msfn got into any troubles.

"are the files in extra\ trivial to all xp versions and the ones in home\ and mc\ specific ?" yes and no,the files in root of extra are files to be replaced(res files are kept seperate).files that ure used by all xp versions and are the same are; the audio wave files, the bmps and the .msc files. and if you do a compaire of the different files you will see that there are files that are the same to the root of extras(wich are xp pro files), and are also found in mce dir and home dir. so No do not copy over ontop cause you will loose the xp version specific file patching. the way the folders are seperated should not be changed. "what are these for :win2k ? ntmsoprq.msc ntmsmgr.msc " no they are even found in win home, they are the different snapins that you can find in computer management. if you you check in the batch file near the end you will find comented sections witch are appliyed to xp specific versions. by default xp pro is assumed,so only after the coping/patching or re-patching of files are made depeding on the version of xp the script finds after wards.

damn nice! im gonna use the 1st one as it seems 'neutral' we cant say if its ati or nvidia. im happy you made 1 cause im programming something for monday at school and its the dead line.so i havitn had time to fiddle around with the previous plugin you posted. again,thx. btw do i need to register to dl the jizer's plugin?

thx guys will fix it. bootscr.res

damnnnn, ure ma hero,lol i dont know how long i searched for a paint dot net pluging for that, but i always searched for "mirror".i never though of searching for reflection...lol. n e ways thx man.

yeah, all those new green folders amnesia is posting are jsut greate! and thoses green toolbar icons are also looking greate amnesia! also; what do you guys think about the shortcut arrow,should it be included,should i remove the grey square around it?does it look like crap?lol

thx madmax, ill wait b4 a bit b4 including them. amnesia about shell32.dll icon 46,isint that the search folder icon? i cheked with the original and its a folder with a magnifing glass. also int he video properties,ive always hated the video card int he picture, not to mention its upsides down! lol.i made one but i cant do the mirroring effect(i only used paint dot net,so i dont realy have the tools to edit the picture,but i still have all the pics i used) (yeah im an nvidia fan ) also, mr fixit over at ryans forum found a couple of typoes i amde in the batch when adding a couple of new resources,ill reupload to night as its pretty problematic.

well youll have to set each resouces' lang id to french france and translate or copy over the matching fr strings,plus some bitmaps will have to be edited, and some avis too. i can change the ids for ya to france but the rest youll have to do it. also: what do you guys think? 30.ico 231.ico

did you also replace text/strings? also: i have re-id'ed all the resource so they are united states. currently uploading an other release to match the files suggested by amnesia.i have also included in 1st post the no-bitmap taskmgr.res

humm so its adding the resource instead of replacing it?

ill be updating shortly after the upload is finished.

actually i forgot all about it and was gonna upload it with the task manager bitmaps still in it,what ill do is include the res file in the post so people who dont want it can replace it. edit; no update for 2day/2nite no time ;/

thx, will include.

i never noticed, will try it and see. edit:tested and looks good.it has ben added to b19,will try to upload 2 nite.

glad to hear that.

nice job rick and amnesia, ure resources will go in the next update.thx for all the hard work. btw: heads-up dougie, a couple of files arent in xptsp, and will ahve to be added; aclui.dll.res fxsclnt.exe.res fxsclntr.dll.res fxscover.exe.res ocgen.dll.res snmpsnap.dll.res acledit.dll.res
