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 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.
