I am just hacking the Logoff and Shutdown Screens. - This has to be done within the DLL files to change the images for Shell32.dll and msgina.dll - so I am swapping them for the PDC versions :D will help make Windows X's theme be more complete for my 'puter' :)

Cheers

Cat..

Yep ! Sure Can :)

Heres the images - ripped right out of build 4051 ;)

Note that the shutdown icons are the same as Windows XP in this build so there was no point in including those - as you dont really need to replace them :D

thanks.how about those for the log off and switch users one? and what does that toolbarfix do? i dont see a change...

Windows X: If you like my sidebar when it is finished, could you include it in LTP 4.1? It is supposed to be authentic to the original as much as possible, with just one change: each module has a title section.

What I need to do is:

1. Add Preferences... and Add/Remove Modules... functionality

2. Allow user to disable modules and enable them

3. Add Host commands for persisting settings

4. Add lots more modules

5. Add hands to the clock

Here's how it's coming so far:

Hi I just added a new thread on here where I have given a download link to the DLL's I have hacked. (tested and working) ! Also includes a preview of it in my thread. (damn thing double posted though) :(

But you will find the DLL's and original files - the Bitmaps in that download. I included a readme file on everything I did and that needs to be done too.

Cat.

WindowsX, dunno if this already is mentioned but, the caption bar automatically resizing (depending on the file or folder that someone clicks) becomes irritating after a while. Is their any way to lock it in place?

Yes I know what you mean too - its a bit awkward. Try clicking on an icon, and it jups up or down, as the filters are opening or closing. etc. Its a bit tricky, so I tend to clik an icon once then double click it to open. other wise you might get caught clicking the wrong icon ! - its still a nice feature of this theme though. Nice.

Ya I love this feature aswell but is there anyway to fix this bug?

    • Salesforce to acquire Fin, formerly Intercom, for over $3 billion by David Uzondu Image via DepositPhotos.com Salesforce today announced that it has reached an agreement with customer support software company Fin to buy the company for around $3.6 billion. Salesforce expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2027, and the acquisition will not change its financial guidance previously announced on May 27. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, in its press release, claimed that acquiring the startup gives Salesforce an immediate AI agent that resolves support tickets across email, WhatsApp, SMS, and Slack: You might know Fin by its former name, Intercom. If you have ever been on a website or inside a mobile app and noticed a little chat bubble widget floating in the bottom right corner of your screen, often featuring a friendly face and a message like, "Hi! How can we help you today?" you were almost certainly looking at Intercom. Intercom became Fin just last month, transforming itself into an "AI-first" platform that handles customer issues with little need for humans to intervene. The new name originates from the company's highly successful AI customer service agent, which it launched way back in 2023. This digital assistant supposedly resolves about 76% of customer service volume end-to-end on its own, so the business rebranded to match its primary software tool. Fin's new owners, Salesforce, went on an acquisition spree over the last few years, and some of them you might recognize, like its 2020 $27.7 Billion acquisition of Slack. The last few months saw the enterprise giant buy several startups, including m3ter, Momentum, Cimulate, and Contentful. Salesforce said that when the Fin deal pulls through, customers will "deploy AI agents across" various service operations, which will complement Agentforce, the platform that enables businesses to deploy customizable autonomous digital workers.
    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.
