How do I enable a shellstyle.dll in Y?z toolbar???

Focus here Casper...Yz's toolbar is a seperate application that changes the toolbar icons.

You need to have the program running if you want the toolbar icons changed.

You can get the aero theme from the previously posted link.

If you change the shell32.dll then windows takes care of the toolbar icons.

The shellstyle.dll only skins the taskpane on the right in my computer and some other backgrounds in the conrtol panel and such.

Hope this helps.

Wow I can't believe how big this thread is :D

For everyone wanting my SmartbarXP skins.. I still have to finish the slate theme (it's about 80% done) and last night I decided I didn't like it well enough and I wanted to make a sidebar skin closer to the AERO version of the side bar (click HERE to see it) so I've now got that one about 50% finished and will post a shot of it if anyone wants to see it.. and once I get those finished up I will post all of the skins here for everyone to download.

Also the image viewer (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) is a .DLL in the system32 dir named shimgvw.dll . You could replace XP's shimgvw.dll with LH 4008 or 4015's shimgvw.dll and it would give You the black Picture Viewer minus the new editing tools and it wouldn't display the pictures title in the taskbar it only gave you a hyphen.. but when You try to replace XP's shimgvw.dll with the PDC 4051 shimgvw.dll , it doesnt work at all nothing comes up.

For Windows X , I have every build of Longhorn that leaked so make me a list of files that you need and I will try to get them to you.

I seriously can?t wait for the theme by Windows X to be released! I mean she has done/is doing such a great job with that theme!

Has she told anyone of you when she will release it? I mean, looking at the screenshots, it looks pretty complete to me!

I also want to thank all of you who have helped me with Y?z Toolbar etc...

first off its he...not sh:):)

and as far as i know.... he finished it today (around 2am his time) ....so im going to assume sometime tonight/early tomorrow morning it shoudl be released

and btw...its 5:37pm my time ...so hopefully itll come out soon...i think the only reason he didnt do it earlier is because he has to upload it and he was extremely tired

one more thing.... he said the pack should be about 19mb .

Okay...hehe sorry about the "she" thing....I thought he was a she because other said so a few pages back....

It?s 00.45 AM here so I?ll probably go to bed now and hope for it to be released tomorrow.

It?s said to be a transformer pack...what does that mean exactly? What will be included in the package?

Let this pic explain itself.

1. Background of radio and checkbox buttons should match form background.

2. You should have explanation text below "Install Options".

3. Use Slate style buttons in the wizard by having images and swapping them in MouseEnter/MouseLeave.

4. Don't call the pack "Longhorn".

5. The title bar should say "Install Longhorn Transformation Pack 4.0".

Just some constructive UI criticism. :) The new LTP sounds great!

I did a search in the windows dir of my build 4051, and I could not find resimages.dll.

As for the new picture viewer, check the attached image.

I did a search after installing Longhorn 4051 and resimages.dll is not included with this build..... :wacko:

Post shimgvw.dll. Also, please post any other DLLs you think might have graphics. :) Thanks.

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
