Enabling DCE

[mrastudent]

yeah I'm working on 4053 but the needed files are entirely different in it, and can't be ported from 4029 since it kills the sidebar

But it leaks, so forget it :devil:

It killed the sidebar in 4051 too so i don't see the difference :p

Can you link to where you got this? Sounds interesting, I hope he releases this.

of course, one of the 31 pages: http://www.hardwaresgeeks.com/board/showth...9&page=31&pp=10

This may be miles off, but the call system is different in 4053, also the cool stuff is now in milrender.dll. It also has a different launch system, maybe it's just activated by calling it once. The other thing is no-one has mentioned the WmgExecute function, one of sbctl's exports, it might do somthing with the right arguments??

yes, I have also noticed that!

WmgExecute seems quite interesting, but I guess only Microsoft know the right arguments :crazy:

what is the difference between the files in 4029 and 4053? if somebody can send me the files [sbctl.exe, milrender.dll, milcore.dll] pm me.

it seems there are few mistakes - ex. "Creat" - "Create" and other small mistakes, but because of them some of the functions can't start. also many of the functions in milcore.dll are missing [tried by replacing the original mil's with the included in the package]. and when i try to execute the mil.bat file, i only get "Error reporting" window for every runll32 call. so, i think it should work on #4051. if you can activate dce, i'd be glad to show us the results [screenies or something else].

also, AA hasn't added the arguments for any of the commands.... again. but if you wanna work it around, you can use OllyDebugger: http://home.t-online.de/home/ollydbg/Loaddll.htm

@chris: b2 doesn't kill sidebar

and everything in milcore was mirrored in milrender before, now they're different, notice how the dce init script for 4051/4029 has the same commands for both milcore and milrender in general

[SilentInfiltration]

AlphaAlien, nice to see you folded to the pressure caused by me leaking Beta1. I was beginning to think you'd never do the right thing and release what you had.

[cpu killer]

Gonna install LH4053 right now, will begin research as soon as its done ;).

[fr1sk3y]

it will be nice if AlphaAlien post us a screenshot/short video of DCE and/or effects running?

[cpu killer]

Im sure he already has, search topics in the longhorn section (here) and you will find it.

[fr1sk3y]

no he hasn't. i've search all the longhorn section but without a result

btw has anyone started the dce?

[michaeltal]

no he hasn't. i've search all the longhorn section but without a result

btw has anyone started the dce?

no, no luck here :(

@AlphaAlien: a screenshot or some vids would be great!!!

[cpu killer]

I might be getting blind, buit take a look at where the time is - doesnt it look a bit transparent??

Id say thats part of some kind of DCE effect - am I right??? just installed LH4053...betasirc..

Take a look and give me some opinions

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't see any transparency in this screenshot! :no:

[cpu killer]

take a closer look at where the time is :).

still nothing! but perhaps I am the one who is blind :wacko:

if you're refering to the vertical "stripe" of lighter color than the rest of the sys tray area then it's probably just buggy taskbar redraw. other than that i cannot really see anything "special" in the picture.

[cpu killer]

Well, I refer to the dark area in which the systray is placed, I'm pretty sure I see some transparency allowing to see some of the background, maybe its just me..oh well.

[SilentInfiltration]

Yeah, I can see that as well; like a very, VERY light pattern overlay. Is that with DCE enabled, or not? I didn't really pay much attention to the taskbar when I installed 4053 last.
