the theme is really great :)

i didn't edit my explorer.exe as i didn't replace any file, mine is xp with all patches and sp installed, but i don't care too much about the "n" ;)

i use the orange color, too perfect :)

thank you Tiget2k for your hard (and perfect) work :)

Alex

switched back to first release becuase i have the same problem on the TURN OFF COMPUTER but i use a swedish version of xp so thats why im my case and i cant se any big diffrens in the first and second release so np for me

yeah there isn't much difference actually just the bug releases and that i had to trim down the start menu because people keep saying the icons were too big :blink: but thats about it, now that u mentined about the swedish version of xp i figure alot of people are going to have this problem so maybe i'll see if i can find away to still have the icons at 32 and be able to fit all the text without having to redesign the bottom of the start menu :s

and does anyone who made themes before know why the style doesn't recognize the font values for the logoff pane i keep changing the font and it doesn't change it, it keeps it the same as the captionbar font, if there is anyway to change the font let me know, that might help me fix the problem with the text being cut off

its not meant to be. unfortunately, in programming the tabs for display properties, microsoft set all tabs after the far left tab to use the same skin settings. usually the far right tab has its own settings (see the 'Advanced' button under the settings tab). its microsofts lame fault, but themers have to deal with it.

something on your taskbar must be resizing it, happens when you have the WMP taskbar player and with TLB, those are the only two that i used and know that happens with but there might be some other programs that resize the taskbar

You're right!

And thanks for this great mod of Rhodium. I just love it

Great job - very pretty!

I have a question - how do you edit the log off/turn off text?

Thanks for the hard work.

the best way to cure the logoff turnoff text issues with the style is to tweak it with stylebuilder,

since the top and bottom panels are set to a width of 244 the left panels are set to 190 that leaves 54 for the right panels even though they are set to 244 it appears that the right panel gets drawn after the left so it will just fill the remaining 54. to get the compact startmenu appearance .. if you make the left panels size larger than 190 for example 220 then you will need to make the top and bottom panels larger by 54 from 220 so the top and bottom panels would be 274 .. this should preserve the compact startmenu appearance and still make it wider to display the logoff/turnoff properly.

I dont have this problem but Tiger has explained the issues that result in it .. different language other than english .. and people who tweak the default text ...

I have one problem running on my laptop while it's on Docking Station. Here is a picture...

Hey man, where did u get those Firebird Icons? They look awesome!

And, for Tiger2k.... its an excellent theme, I've been always waiting for Rhodium to evolve and the wait was worth!

Thanks OldeCrow.

I didn't know the right panel was drawn after the left - I've always done the math to keep the numbers right.

Where/how do you edit the default log off text?

I don't see that option in Stylebuilder unless I'm missing it.

Thanks!

ya wont be editing it in stylebuilder ..

I think that text is in explorer.exe .. but im not sure .. I dont tinker with dialogs or menu's unless i have to .. closest I get is replaceing images :D

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
