[Closed] XPtsp General discusions

[Mr_Smartepants]

I must have missed this...

Has the Vista copy/move/delete animations been taken out?

Sorry, my comments above were in relation to the 'Blue' resources amnesia posted earlier.

They do not apply to the current 'green/yellow' XPtsp (which works perfectly).

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks amnesia, I'll put those in too.

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.

Sweet! I haven't seen any issues with XPtsp since I reported the Run dialog 'OK' bug.

Great job people!

I can't wait to try out your next Win7 package.

I've released GUI Beta 21a. Drive Space Indicator has been updated to latest version (v5.2.7.3). New code has been added to change Task Manager's graphs to the blue color. According to Bober, this is something that is not possible to change via the resource files.

Please try it out and let me know what you think of the CURRENT version! Also let me know of any bugs you come across! Thanks!

Side-Note: For a list of everything that's changed in DSI, please look here for more information on the versions.

EDIT: If you want to report bugs about DSI, please post about them at my RyanVM thread or my WinCert thread so I can properly address them.

[bober]

thx for posting mr.fixit, as i can see, seems ure tests were succesfull.

to all:

so this should pretty much be the final build,atleast for a while( i hope so)

[Mr_Smartepants]

WooHoo!!

Thanks guys. I'll give this a shot.

[bober]

so the main changes are in the final:

each xp version ahs its own bootscreen now,and i have added a hexer that dougie re-wrote for me to hex taskmgr's colors as they were hard coded.i alredy have a blue and pruple hexer,infact this small utility can hex prety much any file,so there are alot of possibilities...(its in the programs folder)(beware, only try patching on a clean taskmgr.exe file if you want to try it manualy. you can eather drop taskmgr on tmhexer.exe or run it via command line like so:

tmhexer.exe "ure path to where ever\taskmgr.exe"

[Mr_Smartepants]

OK, I may have a bug.

I just used the batch on XP Pro SP3 (clean) and the initial boot screen after the file copy stage, but prior to beginning T-39 shows the sliding green 'bar' with "Media Center Edition" even though it's Pro and the only folder in the ISO is "i386".

The below check in the batch should fail, but MCE components get patched anyway.

if not exist "CMPNENTS\MEDIACTR\I386\MEDIACTR.CAB" goto sp_cab

I thought that string was in bootscr.res, but I couldn't see it. Is it ntoskrnl?

Similar to this screen (text is "Media Center Edition")

*Edit, All the other branding in the OS is Pro. It's only that boot screen that is branded MCE.

Edited December 10, 2008 by Mr_Smartepants

[bober]

i screwed up the res files, i did not have photoshop and th 16 color palette installed, so i blindly droped the res files in each fodler thinking i wouldint mix it up,lol sorry will fix later 2 night.but mean while i think the bootscr.res in the xtras\home dir should be ok,its not branded at all.

"Edit, All the other branding in the OS is Pro. It's only that boot screen that is branded MCE. "

? oh so you checked the other 2 reses and theyr all pro? crap.thx for the heads up.

Edited December 10, 2008 by bober

[Mr_Smartepants]

I haven't checked the bootscr branding since I don't have the 16 color palette installed either. I only just finished installing my Pro ISO in VM and all the branding is correct for Pro except for the bootscr. I'll check MCE and Home too later.

[bober]

i did my tests with mce so..,if you could check home 1st.thx.
