Anyone with build 10125 able to upload the Imageres.dll?

There's one in system32 and one in syswow64. Should I upload both?

 

Edit: Done

 

Imageres.dll from System32

Imageres.dll from Syswow64

Heh. I think they both do the same thing, but I was after the new icon set. :)

 

 

 

 

Also, this image of the Music app was posted to a Microsoft support site. Looks like there's a great new look for the Music app coming up:

I really hope they give us the option of changing titlebar color again in Win32 programs.

 

I may have to modify the Themes service using OllyDbg to make it parse and follow the registry setting in regard to titlebar color come RTM. Not looking forward to that. Hopefully a third party skin will come out that restores centered text in titlebars and has white text on black background. I cannot stand these bright white titlebars. Its even worse than gray. Why the hell don't they let the user choose the color? 

 

The Silk Gunmetal theme for Windows 10 is perfect, but has been broken since build 99xx.  I hope the author fixes it for RTM.  Nevermind, it works only on clean install, but works on 10125.

that's terribly familiar though :)

The fullscreen video in Spartan is welcome but completely useless just now, YouTube will go back to windowed mode if you try to move the slider, it'll go back to an earlier timestamp and even came up with a page error, I know it's not an "authorised" build but I'm hoping it'll play nicer in our next public build.

Windows 10 and text messages will we se it in the next few builds im reading microsoft is not confirming or denying it 

Hopefully we can text and send and receive calls through the phone to the desktop/tablet.

there is still GOD MODE it works fine in windows 10 as tested by me just create a folder any were and past this into name it 

 

 

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

 

BTW you can change "GodMode" to anything, it doesn't matter, it's just something someone made up.

The point still stands, though. Rounded images lack details present in more traditional square images.

 

 

For some reason the circle outline (for me, at least) seems to work for profile pics, but to use it for pictures of the artists in music app doesn't look right to me. Maybe it's the grid view in general.

    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
