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.

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
