I'm using a modded gfxOasis VS for my XP SP2 now, and wasn't too happy with that default Windows XP shut down and logoff dialog.

So ... there really was only one possible answer: modding those dialogs to something that was more compatible with gfxOasis ...

So, here they are:

XPlogoff_gfxoasis_v1.jpgXPshutdown_gfxoasis_03.jpg

Notes

* This modification consists of a modded msgina.dll (shut down dialog) and a modded shell32.dll (logoff dialog).

* 100% visual compatible with gfxOasis.

* Thanks 1000x to Kol and KaosAD from gfx0asis for giving me permission to release this...

* If you choose to download this file, you are in no way authorised to extract the gfxOasis logo to modify and/or use it publically... Please respect this.

* Only tested on a Windows XP SP2 English. If you want, I can make a version for a SP1 or another language too... (PM me)

* Only compatible with a 'clean' XP SP2, If you have installed a GUI changer, those changes will become undone, since shell32.dll is cganged again... Contact me for a work around ...

* This 'modification' is provided 'as is', I (or gfxoasis team) is in no way responsable for anything that goes wrong with your installation...

Download

* msgina.dll

* shell32.dll

* replacer

Installation

I'm sure anyone understand what I'm talking about doesn't need an explanation on how to install this mod, but anyway:

* download my modded msgina.dll and shell32.dll.

* download replacer.

* Fire up replacer (a command prompt window will open)

* Go to *systemroot%\system32. (most likely c:\windows\)

* Drag and drop the msgina.dll found in that folder in the replacer window.

* Press enter in the replacer window.

* Now drag and drop my modded msgina.dll (which you just downloaded) in the replacer window, and press enter.

* Do the same for the shell32.dll file

* reboot

and done :)

Hope you gfxoasis VS users like this mod!

No need to be rude. I was merely pointing out that I would be concerned that if I install it, it would be blurry as well.

[EDIT]

It seems like you can not say anything in this forum without being attacked. I used to enjoy being a part of this community.

Yes, the screenshots are blurry, but not only the dialog, the wallpaper behind as well, that is, the whole picture isn't in perfect quality. Hmmm . . . maybe, just possibly, Shaidar compressed his screenshots, which is good practice for posting on the web.

Now, Shaidar, could you release only the modified resources that are im thoso DLLs, I'm not using gfxOasis, but I still think that those look cool. I want to add them in to mine manually, in case, mine and your original files weren't the same. Please?

Mmm .. is this what you asked?

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
