three questions for you Windows X :)

Is the Longhorn 4 transformation pack out yet or is 4.1 the next release ?

The side bar in your slate PDC vs, Windows X .. how do I activate it ?

(I currently use smartbar XP ... still configuring it though ...)

Can I add stuff to your sidebar like I can with smartbarXP such as news tickers ..etc ?

:D

1. 4.0 is not release yet so no 4.1

2. You can do it by install Longhorn SideBar 3.0 which release before Longhorn Transformation Pack 4.0

3. It doesn't meant anything to hide because it already fit with 800x600 and SmartBar XP consume so much for RAM so I make the smallest SideBar consuming.

hey tai what skin is that for smartbar?

can u post it please

Hi Winston ... heres the skins page for SmartbarXP ... at

http://www.smartbarxp.com/themes/themesindex.htm

the first 2 skins .. the Longhorn Clock and the Longhorn4051.zip [sidebar] are the ones I'm using :)

This thread seems to be getting a surprising amount of attention...

As far as strict port accuracy goes, this is a very good theme, but I myself never found it to be too attractive... Didn't think so many people did.

Anyhow, very nice work, this is a very accurate port, if I was a fan of the theme I couldn't have asked for better.

Windows X,

Could you make a deactivate_pdc.reg for me? I used the normal deactivate and it just changed the toolbars back to normal. I took off the slate pdc theme and switched back to the normal Windows XP Luna msstyle and now there are bugs in the toolbar when a window is maximized. Could you just make a restore .reg that returns the registry tweaks to the normal ones that came with xp?

Thanks in advance.

erm nope. Not completely accurate. Some of the colours are actually wrong in this version. (double checked with my own installation of the REAL Longhorn 4051 build) Some colours in the visual style are a little wrong.

To be honest, this is such a good import of the Slate theme - if you never seen the REAL LH, you wouldn't even no the difference where colours are concerned with the dialog boxes and that.

Still say this is a great import regardless. its very nearly accurate, is what I will say. :D

Cat.

I'm currently working on an emulation of the IE version in Longhorn. :) I'll also work on the sidebar. When I'm done with that, I'll work on an emulation of the Longhorn Windows Explorer, then an XAML/Avalon parser, then bundle it all together as "Longhorn for Windows".

Yep this caught my attention too. Sounds interesting :D

Question: How did you get the "common tasks" bar to be on the top, rather than the side?  :blink:

A little creative tweaking to the shellstyle.dll .. the next thing to do will be to get the taskpane to resize horizontaly too so the window size isnt always changing .. then ill be interested in those cute tweaked horizontal shellstyles :)

Duh .. im so damanding .. i think i know how to get those panes to resize horizontally .. ill have to play around with it and see :)

First off: Windows X, your work is excellent and much appreciated. (P.S. I wish you would put screenshots on your site for each of the transformation packs.) :D

Next: I desperately want that horizontal tasklist. Come on, spill the beans. How can I get it?

Thanx in advance guys.

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
