bober

yeah,looks glassy.

np,

prolly shell32 like alot of em.

this is the addon,but i hope to offer different "flavors",but yes the default theme will prolly stay vista-ish.

yeah the boot problem is weird,i dont know what im gonna do about it. edit: i have made small adjustments,text to speech pannel is fixed,and changed the shutdown background,i cant seem to fix the offset of the buttons logos,but i have a good i dea why this is happening,when i get more time ill take an other crack at it.also i checked the speaker schemes and they seem fine,altho some images are used to depict related speaker setups,all in all i think its ok.and about the welcome screen i think its offsetted to the left to accomodate the login names.

altho id gladly add it to shell32,its a fake resource,and i really dont like the idea of having eye candy just for the looks of it(isn't there enough already?)and the fact that the little display menu that shows 7 backgrounds is static ,its a the party breaker, not to mention the left pannel is inoperable too.

yeha sorry im not much available these days.ill tree and free up more time to "unify" everything.

like the 1st progress bar,and damn,also liek those avi's in the link u gave.

yes but if brico pack overwrites "language texts" it wills till reman after xptsp.so that why i recommend to test on a system thats untouched ans start tests from there.

ok so ill see what i can do to fix ure reported errors in the coupel of days that follow

okay..but im telling you; "im 10000000% sure lol,the res are from user32.dll and it dosent support .ani cursors...trust me,animated cursors are added via themes." yon can even try on ure own without doing any test builds ,try to add a .ani to user32.dll in the cursors section ull see.

im 10000000% sure lol,the res are from user32.dll and it dosent support .ani cursors...trust me,animated cursors are added via themes.

but from witch resoruces?and the cursors werent animated im 100% positive. edit; took alook at rue screen shots, ill prolly be able to fix acouple of them but ,ure tour icon is wrong i have no idea where its commign form i dont have the same on my tests,ill chek the text out lound thing,the too small icon from the advanced inf prob is doable too and ill have to track down the squashed icon..but i ahve alot of other work to do so dotn expect this to be fix anytime soon.the shut down background is fine, its the same from the original viso,if you want to make one thats nicer feel free,if its to my liking ill add it,but ull have to produce a res file with it tho.

i dont know what to say AndreyPopov, open shell32.dll and have fun,lol its all there.and have you though that its because u used brico pack thats things are screwed up?you should just start over with a fresh source and go step by step,i dont know why people keep on patching and applying crap to their system and just piling it up, of course things might be strange...so my advice is start fresh,i cant help you otherwise,and i dont think anyone else can too.

"additional Vista patches for system files on an already existing XP installation? " yup, just add it to the sfx, edit it with winrar.

yeha i never ever use nlite or the integrator to make my bootable iso,cause i always apply driver packs after,so i manualy make my iso(ya i could still rebuild iso afterwards via either app but i dont).but would either integrator or nlite apply a cheksum to the iso? so if you edit it just b4 recompiling it it would chage this?i have no idea.

well,the icons are from user32.dll, and u resized them and it appears ok, no need for the dialog resize.i just checked everythign appears ok.

well just delete them from the .exe,open with win rar and go to extras folder and delete them.

well this is strange i though it was nlite....can you test without using rvmi or n lites integrated iso builder,so take an sp3 iso,and use an iso manager/editor and add the modded files that way.

well if youve got an addon for it,then it el overwrite the changes made by xptsp for sure.and even if you use the xptsp addon it will still get overwritten cause the changes are applied b4 the ones prolly made by bricopack.unless bricopack installs the same way by directly patching the source files of ure win disc.

ure referring that you currently have that pack on ure system. im telling you that this is to patch files ure gonna burn so that when you install windows, you wont have the original look.hope this clarifies things,i have also edited 1st post for more explanation. if you want the addon plz read 1st post the link is there.

well this is to patch ure xp source file b4 burning them.

seems so.

umm i have no idea if the files are the same and if the resources are even located at the same place even if the same files exsist.ill add winxp only in 1st post.

i dont think this is caused by the patching of the res files.
