Longhorn Inspirat Brico Pack RC1

Hello everybody !! This is my new Shell Pack with BricoPack installor !

What is Longhorn Inspirat Brico Pack ??

Longhorn Inspirat Shell Pack is a complete custom shell pack for all Windows XP.
It consists of modified icons and a new themed appearance for Windows XP. After installing this shell pack, your computer will look like those screenshots

Why Universal BricoPack ??

BricoPack is the name of a new generation of Shell Pack.
Until now, Crystal XP Shell Pack had some drawbacks:
- The Shell Pack could work only on a specific version of Windows XP (Without Service Pack, SP1 or SP2)
- The Shell Pack could work only on a specific OS language (English, French or German). It was not possible to use a French Shell Pack on an English Windows XP
- You couldn’t use Windows Update (because some customized icons disappeared)

Now, with BricoPack, those problems are corrected!!! Thanks to Bricomix for his excellent work!

- This pack is universal, he works on all Windows XP (perhaps even Windows 2003, but that has not been tested yet).
- Auto installation of the visual style, but it is possible to choose if you want to apply it or not during the installation.
- Update function : if you use Windows Update, original Windows XP icons will reappear. With BricoPack Update Function, you can re-apply the shell pack with a simple click!
- Replacement of the files during the restarting of your computer, which makes it possible to completely avoid the problem of the files on use.
- Auto refresh of the icon cache.

Can you precise please!?

What's 1386 patching feature??

jojoey

Apr 13 2005, 11:50

->Changing the system file on a Windows CD(copied on the harddisk) ,for example.
This feature would be good !

A minor bug has just been corrected. This bug prevented the update function to work perfectly. There was no danger, only this function was inoperative. My advice ; uninstall the pack and install the new one.

The i386 patching feature is a feature in which you "patch" system files in the i386 folder of your Windows XP cd. So the next time you install or clean install Windows XP it will have different icons, themes, the stuff. It would be cool to see this feature in this pack. I wish every good theme has this feature.

Thanks for a great pack man.

This bug will be corrected in the next release... Actually, stop all your resident programs, and try again.

Bharani : I don't understand anything...

So when I download updates through Windows Updates, I can update the icons again without the fixes being removed? Or does the program just overwrite old files over the updates ones?

Bricomix

Apr 17 2005, 10:41

You can update icons without the fixes being removed... Update function will remodify your updated system files.

Hi, it's a great pack!

But now I cannot start notepad.exe I think the shell pack might modify notepad.exe in some way.

How do I fix this ? thx

Must be something wrong at your end?
