Great pack, thanks for the hard work.

I have a question for you though, if you don't mind me asking.

What method do you use to do these sort of vast resource replacements? Do you open up each individual file and manually change the icons/whatever else? Or do you have some sort of resource editor scripting program? I'd be interested to know, because I've found lots of times where a quick batch program to edit resources in files would save me hours of time (thus I don't do the thing that would take hours of time-- i'm lazy)

If you don't use some sort of batch program, do you know of any program that makes it easy to do large amounts of resource replacing via some sort of script or something?

Thanks

Hmm, i seem to be having the same bad looking shutdown/restart dialog also as the other guy in this thread had...

also my "Please Wait" dialog when applying a diff theme is all messed up too, writing is white on top of a light gray background, buttons are jagged and no transparency around the edges, etc.

Im gonna uninstall this for now, but when/if an update is released, it'll deff be a longterm investment :yes:

Running XP Pro with SP1a btw..

"Please Wait" dialog to follow...

EDIT: Surprise Surprise, the uninstall batch file doesnt work. I get a ton of "The system cannot find the specified file" and a bunch of "Access Denied" errors, so unless I'm doing something wrong here, looks like im stick with this gant pack until someone explains what im doing wrong, or fixes the uninstall :no:

EDIT 2: Nevermind, seems that the %windir%\GANT\uninstall.bat worked but not the one that's bundled in the rar file. Probably works for everyone else, and im just a dumbass :yes: that's usually the case :D

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
