thx

1. new windows hmm jap seems to be a smal prob right now i dont see a decent way to solve this. only if i set the state of new windows to open in new explorer but then it will open the normal IE so that would have to be replaced with mine.....

2. jap i saw the pixels and realy dont know where they come from.. trying to fix that in build 0003 what hopefuly is gonna have the popup blocker... i just tryed it in an test build and it seems to work that a blocked URL is not opening... but ill gues a have to find a way to add URLs to the block list all not that easy but ill give it a try

keep the ideas comming :)

Hey man Great conversion, I think that we have to open post in costumizing XP! This deserves more attention! BUT the following:

I think this is still in alpha stage. There are a few things you have to fix. The window corners aren't 100% clean. The icons aren't sharp like the ones used in Y's Toolbar. Thet window doesn't resize to fit ( for example: im running smartbar and when using you IE it always manages to get behind the bar,clicking for resize doesn't help. The pulldown/dropdown menus have to drop down when you hover over it (like the normal IE). And last but not least there are some useless pixels at the left and right of the int.explorer window. Hope this helps you project and im eagerly waiting for your next release!

ok

1. resize does work look in the bottom right corner click and pull to size

2. graphics will work on in the next release (project is 2 days old)

3. menus i like it its something i never seen bevore and its gonna stay

4. pixels on sides well dont know where they come from course bild 1 is clean trying to fix in version 3 also

5. if anyone of u guys want to help a litle on the project feel welcome u could send me some clean graphics if u have some course thats the most work

overall i think for a 2day project with 2 builds im doing prety good...

and yap its a good idea to move this thread to costumizing XP as well so if a Mod thinks this is ok he could just copy the last postings

greetz

yes doesn't work for me either I'm afraid. I use Windows XP Professional Media Center Edition

The exe wont load ! :(

Tested it on a WinXP SP1 Pro we have on our other PC, which it did work on that. So yes I guess it works on XP Pro but not on mine which is the MCE :(

sorry cat couldn test it an MCE :) but thx for the info

@ all the pixels on the sides... found the bug in the alpha blending so its fixed in build 3 also build 3 is gona have a second skin what would be Aero and maybe a blue Slate theme.. see what i can do but im not sure bout the popup blocker it might come in build 4 that would mean that i could release build 3 by end of the week...

Works for me.

The back and forward buttons dont work though for me.

As for the menus, when open, it stays open. Would be good for it to Auto Hide after say a second.

As for the resizing via clicking on the titlebar, i would like this also as it is very handy

Otherwise after 2 days work, i have to say that this is a great job you have done. Excellent work on your part and i hope you continue with it and develop it into something really special as it can be.

Cheers

could you add what davey said, also a pop-up blocker, tabs and a download manger that's in IE in longhorn?

hold up man this project is 3days old popup blocke is comming tabs thinking bout it but not sure DL manager ufff dont thik so maybe in build 1xxx or never for now i still think im doing good

and best news for day 3 :) build 0003 is up just uploaded it hope ull like the Aero skin :)

before i forget lokal browsing in my computer or documents for right now its still disabled but its comming just have to make some changes to the interface so that would be 2 more skins for that to work but like EnIgMa-PenGuIn says dont push....

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
