Here are some DLL files from 4051 that contain more icon's and bitmaps incase Windows_X or anyone else can use them.. The zip file includes:

basebrd.dll

browseui.dll

imageres.dll

Download them HERE

because that is a shot of aero...note the trans in the bottom in the bottom right corner and the cool gradients everywhere...and as far as i know, current VS building software wouldn't let you make a title bar like that with the PNG's ...i could be wrong however. ;)

[edit] thank god they are finally switching to high res PNG's ;) ;) [/edit]

Well yeah okay, but you can still make the blue interface with those square close, min and max buttons and stuff.... :laugh: And as for the transparancy you can use a app to do that ;)

dunno if this'll help, but here's the slate.msstyles file from longhorn 4051.

Just a heads up - IT DOESN'T WORK ON XP by itself, but it has most of the slate theme inside.

This theme is superb, seriously, I'm impressed how quickly and effectively you did this WindowsX.

Anyone find the black clashes with Neowin somewhat? Blue will be better, I think.

PS: WindowsX: If you're tired go sleep for a while. Your health is way more important than some theme, and I don't think sleeping for two hours a day is really too good an idea.

Well, I just searched through the DLL's and explorer.exe that have been posted in this thread, and there's nothing really exciting in any of them.

Here's what I found that was kinda neat:

- some icons were rendered huge, lik 256x256 or bigger.

- there seem to be icons corresponding to stacks of documents. Perhaps this relates to MS's implementation of 'stacks' that was posted on the front page?

That's about it. Nothing else seemed changed from the XP files.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
