hi windowsx well i'm new here... even thought i registered long ago.. anyways i've been using ur pack for a long time and i would like to thank you for everything you've done. really a superb job over there. lastly regarding the pic u posted is there a way where u can preview each of the sections like wads m6 pic and PDC and so on? if ur not able to add this ability in the installer are u able to upload pics to ur webpage showing the different types? please hope u can do this for me.. i'm unsure ... thank you. everyone enjoy.

Waste the space of installer. Your wishes come from what you saw and I believe you must seen it already to make passions for Longhorn so no need.

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.

Can you post your clock images (clock and pins) and shimgvw.dll please?

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!

Thanks for info. that's dialog layout in my install creator not real UI.

    • 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.

      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

      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.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.

      Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
