All Slate 1.0 is an updated Visual Style of Slate Beta with two colors and two shellstyles to choose from. The Longhorn Trans Pack ver. 4.0 has not been released yet. The options you ask about will be with the Pack when released.

...and:

  • titlebar and toolbars in Explorer and IE match when using Slate PDC
  • title bars are now in Tahoma 8
  • Windows flag on start button is a little larger
  • as you said, two new shellstyles and two colors
  • thin taskbar versions of both colors in both XP and PDC modes

Just wondering, if I replaced my shimgvw.dll with the Longhorn one, would Windows Image & Fax Viewer still work? Would the new features work? Thanks in advance.

No it won't work at all. You can however replace it with Longhorn 4008 or 4015's shimgvw.dll and it will open the black Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, but none of the new features will work and the name of the image doesn't display in the title bar or taskbar it only gives you a " - " .. and the image quality seems to be not quite as good unless the picture is in "actual size" view.

Great job Windows X. I'm loving the theme. My only question was in IE the line inbetween File and the back button is that a glitch. Can it be removed?

I can't figure out how to remove those lines either.. I've gone into the Shell32.dll and removed the flag but I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove those lines.. heres the lines we're talking about... anyone have any ideas?

BTW, does anyone know a solution to my WFP boxes? Usually, when I boot up I get a box asking me to put in my XP disc, so it can replace my patched UXTheme with the original SP1 version. Does anyone have a solution for this (I'm perfectly fine with disabling WFP, I don't however know how)?

GREAT job "Windows X"!!! I love your work!!!

Waiting for the Longhorn Pack!

Here's a screanie of my desktop (which is not boring any more)

How did u get the back button above file?

What do you mean? If you're talking about Explorer toolbar icons, Google Y'z Toolbar.

    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.

      Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
