fr33k Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 for transparencies glass2k seems to be popular, and for the logon changer the logon loader is awesome. glass2k= http://www.chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml logon loader= http://www.radfiles.com/logonloader/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmostJohn Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 Thanks a lot freek!! But i want to find a single program with this features. Glass and Logon are good but does't have XP fell, looks like Win9x programs :( I try to find with Google but .... no luck. Who find a REAL XP program (designed for XP) with this features?

UserXP Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 @AlmostJohn, for logon and boot manager try my program at: http://userxp.tripod.com ScreenShot (not the latest but...): In about 2-3 days I will upload an update to support an other way of changing boot screens (the way bootxp does). Also, directly unziping boot and/or logon screens to the right folder (program can automatically detect the type of screen). As for transparent windows, glass2k is popular, but I think that I can put that feature too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmostJohn Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 Seems I found-it!! This really looks great! Searching the web with Google I found this: Quick Hide Windows XP QHW XP is a real XP program, with XP skins. Just look at this screenshot! ... and YES, it can make transparent taskbar, transparent start menu and even any program window transparent. Is there anybody who use QHW XP ? I don't know how about change logon ui. I need your advice! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlmostJohn Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 No Radix, you talk about something different. If you don't believe me go to QHW XP site and look for yourself! I found another screenshot with this great program!! See Radix, it's a different program, specially designed for Windows XP, with XP skins! Please tell me if you know where I can download QHW XP !

DoubleJ Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 Pardon me for making unfounded accusations, but does AlmostJohn seem like a mark for that program he is talking about. Perhaps it is his program? He asks a question, ignores/shoots down everyones comments, comes up with his own answer and praises it like its the second coming. All this, and he admits himself that he never even used it because it isn't ready yet. How on earth does he know how good the program is? It's not like those screenshots have ANY relavant info about the program, with the exception of a Reg Key that will hopefully work when the program CAN be downloaded;) He repeatedly mentions it is "...specially designed for Windows XP..." and, OOOOOO, it skins too! (sarcasm). And then he posts links to the web page for the "great program" he thinks is the "BEST" based only on the screenshots of two about screen. Whatever. I think he is the designer trying to get around the NO SPAMMING clause of the forum. Just my opinion, sorry if I'm wrong. EDIT: I just checked the web page. Guess what? It's shareware! Guess he wants to get his revenues up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatDude Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Did you try Trans-XP? This is what they say: Trans-XP, the software to make any application window and most of all parts of Windows XP transparent. Transparent windows help you to keep your desktop organized - there's no need to minimize or to move a window to see the content of a window lying under the topmost window. Make the topmost window transparent and you can see through it! Using Trans-XP you can easily set a list of your favorite windows and the software will constantly check for any new window - if transparency is enabled, Trans-XP will immediately make a pre-defined window transparent.

suprfli Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 if you read the semi-broken english on cronosoft's website it also reminds me an awful lot of the way almostjohn writes.[edit: spelling error] the other thing i don't understand is why it has to be "specifically for XP." why do i care if glass2k doesn't have pretty a pretty XP interface. it works and works well. i guess if the interface is what's important to you and not how the app works...

ThatDude Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 HelioBar XP - utility, which will steal the desktop of any user. By means of HelioBar XP, You may assign any degree of transparency for System TaskBar. System TaskBar presents from itself band, which is usually located in lower part of desktop and contains the button "Start". Now, You may assign the picture for background of desktop, and will see its wholly. Only HelioBar XP will help You to use the space of your desktop to the full. http://www.voodoofiles.com/5265 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2001 Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Cloned420: Why do you a program to hide you windows. Windows key + D, poof windows hidden and without programs to do it for you :D Also i think it would be good that with a push of a hotkey combination you could make ALL windows completely transparent instantly so you are only looking at the desktop background. Can it do that BTW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animaniac Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Is there anything that can make only background windows transparent automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raw_mustard Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 AlmostJohn, Why don't you just come out and say you made a cool program and ask for some feedback, instead of being a slime ball and pretending to be someone looking for something? raw_mustard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
